Day 5 Monday 24th March ESB, Shopping, Knicks vs. NJ Nets
I was up at usual time of 7 and family where soon behind me, we had breakfast in room, and we where out by 8am heading for the Empire State Building (ESB), the weather was cold but sunny and dry, must admit weve been lucky no rain at all
We arrived at ESB for 8:40 after stopping for cash at the Commerce bank no machine charges here, we got straight into the building, through security, picked up our audio tour stuff, purchased a souvenir map, and we where on our way to the top by 9am,
The views from the observation deck are great, a really worthwhile trip
We left a little after 9:40 and the queue foe ESB was outside around the building, now the girls hit shopping mode, many stores, and many bags, I did get two new shirts $40, DS though got into the spirit with designer jeans jackets etc, I should say he used his own cash as did DD, in Macys DD got a prom dress for her prom this year and it is beautiful very Kelly Clarkson from My December album cover and with 11% discount card got it for $170 ( my cash that time), she got a clutch purse, shoes, pashmina all to match from various stores and stalls through out day, we refuelled in a Chinese buffet $34 incl drinks, then we spotted the cowboy, now I dont believe anyone had believed me when I had told them to about the Cowboy, but they do now
We returned to our room, finished packing and I went out to get my nephew a present while out I also bought 4 chocolate Godiva covered macaroons for the family as a treat, we had tickets for the basketball game tonight Knicks vs. NJ Nets, we hoped theyd win this time, we had dinner at the game of chicken fajitas and burgers, the Knicks where dire they got beat 106 to 91, although Tom Cruise was there and Edgar from 24
We walked back to apartment and finished off the packing, all in bed for midnight, early rise Tuesday at 6am for 7am pick up.
Foot note sitting at JFK just now waiting for flight to Orlando, not sure off internet access at Orlando so may not finish the Orlando section till we return in 11 days, thanks for taking the time to post words of praise and encouragement
