Quickie Weekend in New York

We took a little trip down to New York last weekend, for lots of little reasons, but no one big reason other than, it's New York, and it's just next door. Well, in North America, next door can be a six hour drive, but still if you live within driving distance of a city like New York, why not make the most of it.

Whilst there, we caught up with good friends, and rode the new Seaglass Carousel (twice), which K has been waiting a long time to go on, and had just opened earlier this year.

A very relaxing day wandering round the city, eating in dim sum Chinatown, and having cake. What more could one ask?








However, the main reason fort the trip was to go see the Wild Kratts Live with the kids. This is one of their favourite shows, and this was the nearest place they were playing on their tour, despite their production company (and one of the brothers) being based in Ottawa. We weren't sure if they'd like it, as it's a very different experience watching a stage show, that watching the same people on an animated TV show, but they were both enthralled by the whole experience, so it was well worth the trip.
