New York City Vacation ~ Day 6 - Rockefeller Center

          New York City Vacation ~ Day 6
                           Rockefeller Center


By now we've seen a lot of the sights here in NYC. We're fast approaching the flight home to France. So.. I thought we might go and take a skate around Rockefeller Center. Corbin and I packed up the kids and I got out the stroller for Ivy. The others were staying home for the afternoon. Some R and R while Corbin and I take the kids out.

It appeared he was selling shirts out of the back of his car. This has to be something we do .. buy something from a street vendor.. right? Isn't that a thing? Well, either way..we checked it out. There was a NYPD officer floating about if there was any trouble.

Of course, the girls were jumping up and down and asking for ice cream. My brother was sweet enough to foot the bill for all of us, even the shirts! What a good brother he is.(I knew he had it in him!)

I picked out a hoodie, Corbin got a t-shirt and the girls all got little sweatshirts. I put mine right on. It was still a little breezy in the city and I figured with some skating it'd be a good idea. Once I slipped mine on, everyone put on theirs too! Now we really looked like tourists. Uh oh.. New York City Vacation ~ Day 6 New York City Vacation ~ Day 6 New York City Vacation ~ Day 6 After walking about 20 minutes we were close to Rockefeller Center! I could see it in the distance. New York City Vacation ~ Day 6 New York City Vacation ~ Day 6 New York City Vacation ~ Day 6 When we were almost there my sister, Kara showed up! She had sent me a text earlier in the morning and said that she'd like to come out with us. So she hailed a cab and was dropped off just before we reached in the rink. It was wonderful for her to enjoy this with us! New York City Vacation ~ Day 6 New York City Vacation ~ Day 6 New York City Vacation ~ Day 6 New York City Vacation ~ Day 6 We all rented some skates, laced up and hit the ice! Ivy learned a bit about skating this past winter. Hopefully she remembers some of it!

New York City Vacation ~ Day 6 We got all three girls to get together for a pose on the rink! New York City Vacation ~ Day 6 New York City Vacation ~ Day 6 New York City Vacation ~ Day 6 After about an hour or so of skating we decided to head back and hopefully run into the man that sold us those shirts. We wanted Kara to have one too! New York City Vacation ~ Day 6 New York City Vacation ~ Day 6 New York City Vacation ~ Day 6 New York City Vacation ~ Day 6 Luckily, he was still there! New York City Vacation ~ Day 6 She grabbed the hoodie and we headed back home.
