Playing tourist

One of the fun things about having visitors to stay is it's an opportunity for us to play tourist and get out and explore the city.

On a recent trip with Ann and Phil (Newnes, Matts parents) we had two days out in Manhattan doing things we'd not done before.

We went up the Rockafellar centre which gave us great views of Central Park

And then we went to Central Park zoo. Ethan loved the sea lions!

On the next trip we went to the 9/11 memorial which I had done before. And then we walked through battery Park to the ferry terminal where we got the Staten Island ferry past the Statue or liberty. Ethan loved watching out across the water.

Other highlights of a busy ten day trip included (another) trip to the Bronx zoo, the children's museum and lots of fun time with Ethan.
