DAY 3 RECAP

As we wind down a VERY busy day we just want to say how great your kids are. From behavior to fun, this is the best group and not only has it been an adventure but we. Dr. Mickelburgh and I have actually been having a wonderful time with them. This doesn't feel like work and that's a testament to you and the incredible children you are raising. Now onto the day.....

We have only clocked around 11,008 steps, just 4.6 miles but we are all pretty beat. We shad a bus tour today and the Yankees game and despite those events we still walked great distances.

We began a little later today than yesterday after breakfast. The hotel rotates the meals so the kids had a new selection of food to choose from. We then headed to Union Square where some serious shopping ensued. At 10:45 we boarded A Slice of Brooklyn Bus Tour which took us through 4 1/2 hours of Brooklyn history. Not only did your kids see famous movie locations they learned about the landmarking of Coney Island, the history of the naming of Brooklyn areas, and a multitude of facts about the cultural significance, they ate lunch under the Brooklyn Bridge....LITERALLY.....Grimaldis Pizza is a mainstay of New York Pizza goodness. We had pizza there as well as L & B Sprumoni Gardens in Bensonhurst. You'll have to ask them which they liked best.

After our eating and learning, we strolled to Coney Island, home of the Cyclone and enjoyed the beautiful day on the boardwalk. Ask your kids why they no longer can sing UNDER THE BOARDWALK....it doesn't exist. 

After our tour we took a quick hour break at the hotel and headed uptown to Yankees Stadium. Although the Yankees didn't come out on top, we enjoyed our game watching, our food, and doing the wave multiple times. We left after the 7th to beat the mad rush of Subway riders. Your kids are becoming transportation experts. 

Overall, it was another long day full of adventure. Tomorrow brings us to the Upper West Side, Central Park, and a date with the Lion King. Thanks for reading!
