Saturday in NYC

On Saturday the wedding wasn't until 5:30 and only 3 doors from our hotel, so we had a lot of time to do whatever we wanted.  Mom wanted to see the view from the empire state building.  So Mike, Carole, Mom and I did that.  It was only a two block walk from our hotel.  This was the view the first night from our hotel window.

 

Another bucket list tic for Grandma

 

 

After we left the Empire State Building we did a little walking and headed in the direction of the restaurant where Jennifer and Leif wanted to have lunch.  So the 8 of us caught up for lunch.  Then after lunch we split up.  Mike went with Jennifer and Leif and mom, Carole and I headed to Mood fabric.

 





 

After looking around here a bit and trying to wheedle our way into seeing where Denise's office is, since it's in the same building, but Tony the elevator guy stood firm.  no go.  At some point previous in the weekend I had heard Mike talking about getting shirts for Ken, Pamela, Jack and Molly from a fire station.  End up he wanted them from the #10 station, but we didn't know that.  When we came out of Mood, I noticed a station right across the street.

 

So we got shirts for Ken and Pamela who stayed home to look after Grandpa Brown.  This stations id was "the Bat Cave".  They loved the shirts.

 

 

Then it was time to go back to the hotel, which was only about a 6 block walk and rest up for the big event.
