Was amazingly uneventfull. We stayed at the Avalon a nice4 little hotel very close to the empire state building. Hope was not feeling all that great but didn't want to spoil the trip so she kept quiet till we were there.
We did the empire state thing, boy, two hours in line. The view was nice. But it is now on my list of been there done that.
Afterwards we went to Times Square and stood in the TKTS line at least Taylor Chelsea and I did, Andy took Hope and went back to the room. She just wasn't up for it. Our hour and a half in line was rewarded with orchestera seat tickets for Throughly Modern Millie. The bonus was there was enough time to eat dinner before the performance.
I can wholehearted recommend this one. Great scenery, beautiful costumes, and the women who played Millie, Sutton Foster, has a very bright future. My only disappointment was that Delta Burke was taking a break from the Mrs. Meers role. But Leslie Uggams in the Muzzy Van Hossmere role was outstanding and more than made up for it.
My only regret is that they were doing a fund raiser for AIDS after the performance, and I was too nervous about getting back to the hotel before midnight to stay. For $20 you could get your picture with any one of the stars. This would have been a real treat (although after all the lines we stood in we weren't looking our best
The parade route was packed!! Wall to wall people as far as the eye could see. Way to claustrophobic for me. So we left early and headed to our friends to catch up before dinner.
All in all a great time!
Now tomorrow andy and I leave for a weekend at WDW. So you'll have to wait for next week for that trip report. Hopefully it will involve a small plane, yes I am watching the weather.
