On Saturday, July 3rd, we went into NYC to get Emily's American Girl doll and had to make it just as appealing for Matt to go into the city and boy did we make it appealing. First, instead of driving in, we headed to Secaucus and took a train into Penn Station. Matt was thrilled we were taking a train and was more than happy to watch a few go past while we waited for ours to come. When we got in the city, we walked down to Rockefeller Center, where the American Girl Place store is located. Just a block after the store is a Lego store right by the ice skating rink at Rockefeller Center. The apple is actually made out of Legos....very cool. Matt and Dave shopped there while Emily & I were at American Girl. We met up with them and checked out the Lego store. Matt was able to spend some of his birthday and allowance money on Legos - which made him very happy. The picture of Matt is his reaction to the giant Lego dragon sticking out of the wall behind him. We ate a very nice lunch then went to a NYC Fire Department store. Much to the happiness of Matt and all of our feet, we took the subway back to Penn Station and our train back to the car. It was a very happy day for both our kids in the city.
