Just checking in. Have a great weekend! We are going to the Renaissance Fair today and NYC tomorrow. (Cousin's 13 year old daughter is visiting from Europe.)

All of the beach time sounds great!

Your trip sounds very relaxing. I love it that you don't have to rush to get everything in.

That sounds great! We used to love the Renaissance Fair and go every year but we haven't been there since around 2002 now. What are your plans for the city tomorrow? Have fun!

The Renaissance Fair was a lot of fun. We haven't been in about 15 years. I was joking, saying we could go again in another 15 years....LOL....

We had fun in the city. We got lucky with the weather. It started to rain as we were going to eat and then it was fine when we got out again. We went to FAO Schwarz...spent so much time there. We had a blast. We saw the piano show...never saw that before. The girls liked playing on it, too.

We went over to Rockefeller Center and walked around a bit. (Very crowded. The parade was ending around this time, too.) We had to locate the Hungarian flag. (My cousin's daughter is here visiting from Hungary.) Then we went to the Disney store. Saw Jasmine. It's always fun there! Then we wanted to take my cousin's daughter to a totally touristy place to eat and we've never been to Jekkyl and Hyde's, so that's where we went. It really was great! They loved it. Thank god we didn't have the little one with us. She would have freaked!!

After that we walked around Central Park. We were on a mission to find the Balto statue. We had never seen it before.

We really had a nice day. My mom had taken our cousin in last week already to the city a few times and they did the CircleLine and a full day tour...went up on the Top of the Rock, Empire State, went over to the Statue of Liberty, etc., so we knew we didn't have to do all those things. I was thinking about a show....possible Hairspray, but I left it up to her (she's 13) and she wanted to do these things. We were beat at the end of the day!!

Oh my goodness....I just rambled on and on...sorry!!!

Thanks Julie! That's one of the reasons why we like to take longer trips. We only get to go once a year but it's always really relaxing and we get to do everything we want with time to spare. I just hope it all works out!



It sounds like you all had such a great time! What a tour you guys gave your family, you got so much done. I'm glad you liked Jekyl and Hyde, we hated it the last time we were there The entertainment was fun but the food wasn't good and it was way overpriced. The last time I was there was March of 2007 with some friends and we all vowed not to go back It sounds like it may have improved though so we'll see about checking it out again!

How was the parade? Did you see nay of it?

We didn't see any of the parade. We didn't realize it was right there until we heard the music while we were at Rockefeller Center. It must have been finishing up because we saw all the crowds of people right after. You're right about J&H - great entertainment, but crazy expensive. Food was ok though. We had burgers. Dh had pork chops. Said they were good. Must say, the margaritas were tasty!!!

glad to hear Orlando is still on.

Alter Boyz and Xanadu were both great shows.

I have been ill. I had vertigo due to an ear inflamation. I think it is getting better now, I hope, I leave in 12 days.

Wow! Looks like a ton of fun in the city.

The museum looks awesome. I have to go there someday.

World of Disney looks like a blast too! Cute pics. What's up with Minnie ignoring you?!?

I love the Gap. I could spend hours in there, even if it wasn't raining outside!
