Then we checked out the Hudson River.
We ate dinner at Gotham West Market, a fancy food court. I had fish tacos, Nate had a burrito and the kids had gourmet hot dogs. Malcolm said his was "better than he expected."
After dinner we had some delicious ice cream. The flavor Malcolm and I tried was called "The Munchies." It was pretzel-infused ice cream with ritz crackers, m&ms and potato chips.
Our walk back to the hotel.
Jane read ebooks to Malcolm at bedtime.
Malcolm was tired. He decided early on that he didn't want us to take any pictures of him.
I was so excited I woke up at 2:45am for the day!
The four hour train ride went better than expected. The kids looked at magazines, played Minecraft and watched Dumbo.
When we arrived we found a burger place to have lunch. Since there were no kids' portions we had them split a burger. Jane likes tomato and lettuce but Malcolm doesn't, so there was a bit of an issue because he was not happy the lettuce and tomato touched his bun.
Next we went to the Empire State Building! The kids have been talking about this forever so I thought they would be more excited. Malcolm was so upset about the hamburger that he didn't enjoy it. Jane seemed to like it, though, and the weather was beautiful.
This photo sums up Malcolm's attitude during the experience!
On the way to the hotel we stopped at a coffee shop. Malcolm's mood improved significantly after he had a huge chocolate chip cookie!
Tom Brady threw the first pitch - definitely not a strike!
We learned how they make maple syrup (a larger operation than Drumlin Farm).
Then we had breakfast.
It was delicious! I got banana caramel cream cheese stuffed French toast.
This phone would ring periodically and the girls were fascinated by it.
The kids kept wanting to play outside but the moms were freezing!
We had a delicious lunch at a brewery across the street.
Surveying the loot!
Malcolm made us easter eggs... out of perler beads, of course!
Grammy brought us supplies to make easter trees.
Malcolm wanted his bunny to pose with the eggs.
