A few weeks ago, during what was probably the coldest week of the winter, the boys Dad and Grandma Wanda came up for a visit. The only plus about coming to NYC that week was that it was just as cold in Greensboro.
This trip was Wanda's first trip to the Big Apple and Dad's first in a very long time. We made the most of it while also trying to stay inside, out of the fierce wind.
We hit some of the top spots in the city:
Dad and Wanda got their fill of the subway - they are likely experts by now. We even rode a new line - the F train - out to Brooklyn. They also experienced the wonder that is Seamless - the website for food delivery that keeps us fed almost daily.
The highlight for the boys was Christmas in February. They have a motorized Caterpillar backhoe and bulldozer in their large truck fleet.
All in all - a great trip - next time, we'll show them the outdoors stuff!

We hit some of the top spots in the city:
- Times Square
- Toys R Us (yes, these are everywhere, but the one in Times Square is insane)
- Grand Central - including the Shake Shack downstairs
- Train World (ok, not at the top of most tourist lists, but still cool)
- Top of the Rock (not the tallest observatory in the city, but the best view)
- 9/11 Museum and Memorial
