10th Anniversary in NYC

We went to New York City this past weekend for our 10th Anniversary. Mom and Dad kept the kids for the weekend. They had a blast spending the weekend at Gramma and Grampa's!! Sounds like they did lots of swimming and kept busy. We had a great time and great weather. We left on Friday in the early afternoon and came back yesterday (monday) afternoon. We did a lot of walking all over the city. Saturday we went to Canal Street, Ground Zero, Little Italy and Battery Park. Our hotel was just off of Times Square so we spent plenty of time wandering around there as well. Sunday we walked up 5th Avenue to Central Park and spent some time walking around there and relaxing in the park. There were LOTS of people enjoying the nice weather. We also checked out a street fair before going to a Cirque du Soleil show and then walking 30 blocks back to the hotel. Monday we left NYC in the late morning and drove through Newport, RI on the way home. It was a nice relaxing time.

The Marines had some demonstrations and equipment set up at Battery Park. I got roped into seeing how many pull-ups I could do.
