No sooner did Samantha get off the plane from her trip to Colorado with John and Sarah, I was whisking her off to NYC for a surprise weekend. We took the train to Penn Station what a great ride - highly recommend the train!!! John and Sarah drove down later in the evening. Sam was a little tired from all the planes, trains and automobiles she had been on, but she was a trooper!
Patiently allowing Mama to take a picture in Times Square - the grin was due to an elderly gentlemen who asked if she was starting her modeling career...
She may be allergic to peanuts, but this was one she couldn't get enough of - he was very cuddly.
Bitty Baby also had her first visit to NYC where her "mama" generously gave her a horseback ride since she was tired of walking - LOL!
Daddy and Sam get up close and personal with the NYC police horses - they were huge!
We took the subway to Battery Park and checked out Miss Liberty herself - we didn't have time to go over to Liberty Island so we had a few dramatic moments :) I chalked it up to being overtired :) We also took a walk to the WTC memorial site - what an overwhelming feeling when you are there...
Sam is already a pro at riding the NYC subway - Thanks Daddy for educating all of us!
Samantha' surprise for the weekend was going to see Mary Poppins on Broadway! John had a blast since he was given beer in a sippy cup - too funny!
After Mary Poppins we went to Serendipity for dinner and then swung by Dylan's Candy Bar which is a 3-storied building full of candy ranging from the nostalgic (pop rocks) to sour watermelons...we were all on a sugar high!
Sam loved the giant chocolate bunny and...
the huge ice creams....
John decided we would take a short-cut through Central Park in the pitch dark... I said to Sarah why is he going away from the light.... we both had a good chuckle or should I say nervous chuckle....
Since Sam was so upset about not getting to "touch" the actual Statue of Liberty we had a little photo shoot on the way back to the hotel....I have on Sam's new shades - she's worn them for all of 3 seconds since I bought them....
We were also able to get out of the sun and take a tour of the American Museum of Natural History and take in some of Sam's favorite characters from Night At The Museum...Here she is looking at "Reki"
Here's "Hey, Dumb, Dumb, where's my gum-gum"
We had a blast!!!
