This year, we decided to delay Cally's birthday party until June (at which point we will celebrate her 7.5 birthday) and instead decided to do something different and special. We took the 9am train into Grand Central:
Checked out the windows at Sach's and the Lego Shop:
We also braved the crowds to see the tree at Rockefeller Center:
We made it to Radio City just as the doors were about to open for our 11am show:
We paid a visit to Santa clause before settling into our seats. It was a truly magical experience! These kids, grandparents, and parents were thoroughly entertained. There was a 3-d movie, lots of singing, lots of dancing, even camels, donkeys, lambs, and an angle.
The rain had started to fall, but we walked to Bryant Park to watch some more skaters and ride the carousel:
Then we had a delicious and fun lunch at the restaurant right behind the New York Public Library:
Before heading home on the train, we stopped by the Metro North Train Museum/store to see a really cool model train.
It was such a magical day! Even though it was 55 degrees and raining and we had to stand on the 50 minute train ride back to CT, the kids were so thrilled to be in the city, feeling the electricity of all the people and spirit of Christmas!
