Sara got super cheap train tickets and a free hotel, so we headed to NYC for
the Macy's Day Parade.
Activity: Skating in Bryant Park
|
|
We did two super-fun sessions (RJ was 'that kid' who weaved around
everybody)
|
|
| On-Ice |
Activity: Blowing up Parade Floats
Sara got tickets for the parade prep where they inflate the floats. They
literally blue-up Bluey!

Activity: Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
We awoke at 5:45am and arrived to the parade route around 6:15am. You would
have thought that would have been early enough to get a good spot. No such
luck.
|
|
Weather Report: 40 degrees and raining
|
|
|
Sara was super excited for the parade to start
|
|
|
When parade started, people crowded Doug out

Scaffolding under cover made things a bit easier
|
Activity: Radio City Music Hall
|
|
Christmas Show at Radio City was warm, dry, and comfortable (and
entertaining)
|
Activity: Hotel
Hotel was super convenient to everything from the office where Doug worked,
to the parade route, to 99 cent pizza. The issue - it was in a continuous
HONK zone. From 6am to 6am people were laying on their horns.
|
|
Recycling business outside the hotel - just like when Doug was there for
work
|
Activity: Thanksgiving Dinner
 |
| Dinner in Penn Station NY: blueberries, peanuts, and cheap Gatorade |
 |
| Back in VA, kids had cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving Dinner |
