DW took my DD9 to the city last week. I made a mini touring plan for her that worked out perfect. The did FAO Schwartz, Disney Store, American Girl, St Patricks, Toys R US and M&M. Needless to say my DD was wiped after all the walking all day but they did have a blast doing it.
I work right down the block from the store. I go there at lunch time and just walk around when I'm feeling blue! Perks me right up!!
