Day 6

I am finally getting to Day 6...sorry to leave you hanging! We started today by trying to go on a bike ride, but we were too late for the tour, so that will have to be tomorrow! We headed over to the Empire State Building and hoped we weren't so late that there were big lines. We lucked out and everything was moving along well. We rode a ride called the NYskyride that we thought was like Soaring Over California at Disneyland...uh, nope! It was more like Star Tours on steroids and was rough and not a fun ride. It took you all over NYC but it just didn't do much for us! So off to the top of the building and another great view of the city...

We came back down and headed to a pizza shop for lunch. This one was recommended by our food tour guide and it did not disappoint. Everyone picked their own flavor and we loved them all!

After lunch, we headed back to Times Square and Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. The only reason we went was because it was free on our NYC Pass. We bought the passes because the price was right for the things we knew we would pay to tour. But they also covered alot of other activities so we did alot of those things too. We figured out that we used almost twice as much as we paid for the passes! Anyway, the wax museum was a hit. There were celebrities, famous world leaders, philosophers, musicians, inventors (Bill Gates), athletes, cartoon characters, famous moments recreated (think 911 Fireman raising flag) etc. The kids had a blast posing and I don't know how many pictures we took, but here is at least one of each of us waxing famous!

The girls and Edward...

Tim and Julia while Oprah looks on...

Kelly, Cathy and Regis!

All the kids with Lady Liberty...we saw a lot of her this week!

Clark hooked up with John Wayne...

and Caleb played a little one on one with Yao Ming!

We had a great time there, but had to move on. We followed another tip from our food guide and went to a Mexican fusion restaurant. What is Mexican fusion you ask? I think it means the entree has a name you know, like taco or burrito, but the you can't pronounce the ingredients and you aren't quite sure what they are! But it was yummy, even if it was a little spicy. But hey, want else can you expect with a name like this...

After dinner, we went to another play..."Spiderman, the Musical" and it was actually a lot of fun!

Clark did another great job of seat selection and we had a great view of everything...on stage and above the audience!

We found this great lighted map of the theater as we were leaving so we took a picture of where we all sat! On the way back to our hotel, we found Cold Stone ice cream and took one more walk through Times Square!

A perfect way to end another day in the city!

P.S. To all you bloggers out there...any idea why the text color changed to blue halfway through my post??? It happened another time and I can't figure it out!!!
