The Big City

If we are going to fly all the way to the East Coast, we are going to head into Manhattan. It is an exhausting adventure, but totally worth it.

Here's Leo waiting for the Long Island Rail Road. He really like riding the train and sharing a real New York bagel with his mom. We walked from Penn Station to Rockefeller Center to see the big tree. And indeed it is a very big tree. Here's Leo and I and about half the population of the United States.

Mike, Leo and Tom.

Tom thought it would be a good idea to let Leo walk around the center a bit. That didn't last long since it was extremely crowded. So crowded, in fact, as soon as we got a couple of good pictures, we high-tailed it out of there.

Leo fell asleep on the walk from Rockefeller Center to the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle. He actually slept through a very nice lunch at a fancy restaurant overlooking the park. Tom and I couldn't believe how lucky we were to enjoy the meal with two hands and engage in adult conversation.
