The previous day is
HERE
Wednesday 6 July
Our last day in NY
We had originally planned to be here for 7 nights including full days for a trip to Woodbury Outlets and another over to Six Flags in New Jersey
But these days were sacrificed to make way for Washington
We walked over 10 miles a day in NYC, those extra days may well have been finished us off so it’s as well we went to DC
We have so much we still didn’t see, especially the museums … but always good to have a list for next time
And so we return to our last day. This was to fit in our last two Must Dos – TOTR and 9/11
Anything else was to be a bonus
Today was also going to see the TCFS
Anyone who travels with offspring will immediately know what this is
Yes
The Customary Family Spat
There is always one somewhere
We had done really well
It is 5 days since we set off – this is probably a record
At the time I couldn’t understand why today ended up a bit flat
But after reading all we did yesterday I realise ………..
We were just plain knackered
And had been adjusting to life in each other’s pockets
We all know TCFS occurs over the most trivial thing – like who ate the last Honeybun or left the wet towel on the floor.
It’s never over anything important.
Onto the day itself
We were awake around 5 am and took in the fantastic sunrise over the amazing skyline
It took until 6 for our legs and feet to be civil enough to work properly and we had the usual hotel breakfast.
We were not in a huge rush this morning - the first stop is not far away at the Rockerfeller.
I figured as long as we were there by mid-morning, it wouldn’t be too bad.
After all , everyone else will still be trying to exit the naffing ESB from last night
We set off around 0930 taking a nice walk up to the Centre , passing Bryant Park ( and failing to take any pics) It did look lovely around there
We were in Rockerfeller Plaza around 1015
Now when we watch this we can say - we’ve been here !
You always see this place in the background ..
We went in here by mistake
Before being directed around the corner ..
Walked straight in – no queue – ESB take note
Happy faces
Such a lovely entrance, very sleek
We did the obligatory photo mimicking this one, but we didn’t stop to look at it on the way out
It was a more interesting area but as no queue it was actually a rush to look at it all
Some random photobombs this pic
This is supposed to be a shot of the amazing lights as the elevator wooshes up
Its an epic fail but I wanted to remember how brill that lift was !
And then you step out to see this
But only if you are not catching Pokemon
