We made the most of our last, full day in NYC today. After breakfast, we decided to head over to Central Park to let the kids run & play for a while. I didn't realize how cold and windy it was until after the cab dropped us off and we started walking into the park. Were we crazy to have the kids out in this weather? The kids didn't seem to mind at all. The boys enjoyed running up & down a big, grassy hill, playing in a big leaf-pile, trying to climb a big tree, sword fighting with sticks, etc. Our general idea was to walk to the big pond in the middle of the park, but after 45 minutes of strolling, we threw in the towel --it was just too cold!
We made our way back toward 5th Ave and soon found a cab. We sent Michele, Megan, Roland, & Sandy ahead to our next destination: Time Square. The boys & I continued toward the main road and found a very nice playground. I decided to let the kids play for 15 minutes while I returned a few phone calls, then we caught a cab and headed over to Time Square to meet up with the rest of the family. The traffic was heavy and poor Justin was feeling quite carsick by the time we got there. We walked around Time Square for a while and took some photos, then we had lunch at Ruby Foo's (chinese). After lunch, we walked around the corner to Radio City Music Hall for the 2pm Christmas Spectacular Show, which was great, as usual.
After the show, we had just enough time to walk back to the hotel and rest a few minutes before heading out on our next adventure: Lightning -vs- Rangers at Madison Square Garden! We had trouble getting a cab to the game, but luckily the hotel had an SUV standing by that was able to take us to the game. The traffic was awful, but we finally made it. We had dinner in the club before the game, which was pretty good. Megan slept the whole time, so at least it was relaxing. We were all wearing our Lightning gear, so we got a little good-natured ribbing from the Ranger fans, but nobody was really rude.
