NYC Madness

The last day we were in NY we went to the 911 Memorial.  
It's pretty surreal to stand there and think that the twin towers were standing there 10 years ago.  
Alex was already having a rough day.....4 days of no sleep had caught up to him.
Ross, Lacie, Alex, Me, and Al
This is the Survivor Tree that was one of the only living things that made it out of the rubble.  
Alex having a melt down and Ross catching us in the moment.
Big Al's Pizza.  We should have had a slice.
We decided to go on boat rides that afternoon in Central Park. On our way we walked by where John Lennon was killed.
How great is this view?  I was so excited to finally go on a boat ride in Central Park, but was quickly let down when we saw the long line.  
Al told me I could drive the little boats, but that's totally not the same.
Instead of boat rides we went to Laduree Bakery and had some macaroons.  
They aren't chocolatey enough for Al, so Alex and I shared one.
That night we went to a Yankees game.  The last 2 times we have been to NY they had away games, so it was fun to finally go and see the new stadium.  Plus it was Al's parents 30th Wedding Anniversary, so it was extra special.
I don't think I ever want to go to another Dodgers game.  We had padded seats and a waitress that came around to see if we wanted food or drinks
Alex used some chopsticks to eat french fries.  He learned how to dip chips and salsa a few weeks ago at a Mexican restaurant so naturally he loves to dip fries in ketchup.


On our way back to the hotel Alex plugged his ears on the Subway and fell asleep, lol.  
The next day we went to watch Good Morning America before we went to the airport.   Misty May and Dana Vollmer were there showing off their gold medals.
They handed out goofy sunglasses for everyone to wear during Misty Mays interview.
They were going to film Alex during one of the breaks, but he started crying so they moved the camera, but we still made it on tv.
Alex was so happy to get in the cab and go to sleep in his car seat.  
One last slice of pizza before we went home.  I think I'm good on pizza for awhile :)
