Well...we have been in New York for two days now, going on the third. So far, cons of New York---trasportation, or lack thereof, people who do not smile at you when you smile at them (for southern people, that will send you straight to h-e-double hockey sticks), and rain. Pros of New York--FANTASTIC food (each restaurant we've been to has been fabulous!!!) and FANTASTIC shopping (and that's only Macy's, Sak's and Toys R'Us---hey I've got 4 kids).
We did the touristy thing today and went on a bus tour. Got to see all of NY in 5 1/2 hours. Then we went up in the Empire State Building, the one thing Knox asked me to do. Did not like it. Too many people shoved into little bitty elevators going up waaaay high off the ground. We did get an audio tour that was very interesting. If I can remember some of it, Knox will be very interested. Like it took only 14 months to build, only 5 men were killed, every 20 floors there was a cafeteria of sorts and the limestone came from Indiana.
We've taken tons of pictures so the kids can see what I've been up to. Hopefully, some of them will be good!
