Well we made it. Still not sure if the red-eye was a good decision or not, but the kids did sleep a good portion of the flight and we all had to have naps. For obvious reasons we did not do much today … just got pizza and rice pudding and did some shopping. We had to buy a pack ‘n’ play for Ben to sleep in (this was actually about the same price as bringing our own) … speaking of which, the Babies R Us in Union Square is the nicest one I’ve ever seen. We also checked out the Crumpler outlet store which was cool. We scored some great little backpacks for the kids.
We have spent the evening in. Our apartment is in the financial district and it’s got a great view of the Brooklyn Bridge. There’s some dignitaries in town and we’ve been watching the motorcades go through town. Also, in case you were wondering, I’ve been playing with my Bokeh kit. Cheers!
Glad you all had a great first day! Hope you got to to to Rice to Riches!
