Our last day in NYC~
Today was by far our coldest day. It was 11degrees & 0 with the windchill. We bundled up & headed out for the day. After finding a great place for a quick egg sandwich, we walked down to Top of the Rock. We went to the viewing section ~ one floor was enclosed, one had plexiglass to break the wind, and the upper two decks were open. We were blasted by the wind ~ although cold, it was a clear day so we could take in the views. Keith swore he was so cold that his upper lip froze . . . yes, I told him I could warm it up! :) I know "gag!" We walked around Rockefeller Plaza and the NBC studios. We went by FOX News again and saw Megan Kelly. She waved at us - she & I are best buddies!

Next on the agenda was another visit to Central Park. The kids had a great time playing in the ice & snow. We cruised around the market area taking in the sights. Feeling quite hungry by now (Terri was always planning our next eating opportunity), we found this great deli called "Green Cafe." Again, great food; but the best part was that we could warm up.

We wanted to take the double decker tour, but didn't have enough time to fit it in. So we strolled around town & visited St. Patrick's cathedral. The kids tried to ice skate at Rockefeller, but it was over an hours wait. We headed over to Radio City Music Hall to see the Rockettes and the Christmas Spectacular. What a treat! It sets were unbelievable. It was a great way to end the trip.

After the show, we walked to Grand Central Station to see the light show. Another wonderful sight . . . we ended up at dinner very late . . . and then a long walk back to the hotel. We'll head to the airport tomorrow morning & we pray we don't get stuck in Chicago where we have to change planes . . .

A sentimental Mom's musings . . . I am so thankful for our time here and all we experienced together. So many new and different things. I'm thankful for my sweetie, Keith, who values making memories like these . . . I was amazed as I would look around to count heads on the crowded city streets, looking for my kids, and then realizing that they aren't little kids anymore. They've all grown up. Time does fly ~ God is so good. Merry Christmas everyone.
