We went on another amazing trip with our friends, the Iversons! Actually day one was July 31st, but it was a full day of traveling. We arrived in New York City at Laguardia airport at 11:30 PM then caught a $100 dollar Uber to our Hotel in Times Square. It didn't really count as a day as we didn't do anything but fly to Atlanta and then New York. We were exhausted by the time we got to the hotel.
The hotel gave away our room so they said they gave us the "best room in the hotel". It was not that great. HA! We were right next to a construction zone that started promptly at 8:00 AM! Thankfully, we were mostly awake and I started my day with a six mile treadmill run just down the hall.
After our hotel breakfast, we walked down to Central Park and rented bikes. We biked the entire park. It was just over six miles and it rained on us for most of the ride. It was gorgeous and a fun way to see Central Park.
Once we were completely soaked from riding bikes, we went to a Ramen restaurant right across the street from our hotel. It was so delicious, we ate at it twice that day! After lunch, our friends arrived and we started our real site seeing tour of New York City.
Our first stop was the 9-11 memorial. We were hoping to go into the museum but we didn't know that we needed to schedule a time months ahead. We were hoping we could just schedule a time that day. No luck, so we walked around the memorial then headed to a bakery, wandered Central Park, and then ramen restaurant before our Broadway show.
We had so many choices of shows to see but we really wanted to see something family friendly so we landed on Wicked. It was the perfect choice. Both my boys loved it and said they can't wait to go back to New York City to see another Broadway show someday. After the show we just went back to our hotel and crashed. We were already exhausted!
