With such fond memories of New York in Christmas time, I just felt it was time to take the older kids there to experience some of the magic. This was no trip for the weak. We went non stop once we landed. The highlights for me were seeing my kids reactions to the same things that thrilled me so long ago. The tree at Rockefeller center, the excitement of the subway system, Fifth Avenue windows, Dylon's Candy Bar, the wonderful shows on Broadway, the carriage rides through Central Park as well as ice skating in the few quiet spots in the city. I am blessed to be able to share these things with them and hope that maybe some day they will be able to take their own children on this adventure. I told Mike that I wanted the kids first experience there to be with someone who would always love them unconditionally. Mission accomplished.

In Central Park we climbed the huge rocks and took in the city. We skated and took carriage rides on a beautiful winter's day.
