I was exhausted after posting about Day 1, so I had to take a break. On to day 2.....
We slept in a little bit, then headed out to find The Shake Shack at Madison Square Park. Ok, cheeseburgers are my favorite food. And let me just say that these were the best cheeseburgers I have ever had! Who would have guessed that this actual shack in the middle of this park would hold such goodness! While we were waiting for our food, we watched a group of men and women doing Tai Chi in the park. Kind of cool. From there, we walked up 5th Avenue and came upon the Empire State Building. (Bonnie & Kamon went to the top. The rest of us skipped it because later in the day we were going to Top of the Rock.) Then on to Macy's (next time, I'll skip that....wwwaaaayyyy too many people there), the New York Public Library, the American Girl Store (special request from Caitlin), then to Top of the Rock. We then went to eat at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. After that, we picked up a few slices of cheesecake from Junior's and then back to the room. Whew!!
It's the Empire State Building!!
Looky there!

Check it out!
Oh, Brenna......
The morning Tai Chi group
Yeah! Food!
Can you see their breath??? It was so cold!
Kort is astonished at the tastiness of this little burger.
The Shake Shack!! If you are ever in NYC, it's a MUST!
The Flatiron Building. Isn't it an odd shape?
All Amy wanted to do was touch the Lady Liberty's toe. Well, we knew that wouldn't happen. But we found this mini-liberty that helped make Amy's dream come true. She touched her toe.
Lobby of the Empire State Building. Do you recognize it from Elf???
Macy's!!

The stairs
Gorgeous architecture. I love all of the details.
There was no flash photography allowed in the library. So, I took this picture of a light fixture with no flash and I LOVE how it turned out! Looks like candlelight.
The ceiling!
This is one of the main reading rooms. Most of the books have to be requested, and then a library worker goes to get it from the basement, which is underneath Bryant Park! Crazy!
One of the lions that guard the library. And yes, that is a Webkin with the lion. I'll explain that in another post.
They look smart, don't they?
Brenna & Cody - they are smart too
Bonnie & Kamon - super smart!
Hugh & Toni - the smartest of them all! Oh wait, I meant the OLDEST of them all!
We came across these street dancers and they were awesome! It was three dudes, and the 8 year old little dude.

Me and Matt Lauer??

We look MARVELOUS!
