New York City, New York ~ again

Greetings and Merry Christmas to you from The Big Apple...
The huddled masses come from far and near to take gaze upon the glorious tree...
Merry Christmas to us. Bring on the meat, Sweet Baby Jesus...
From the airplane straight to Carnegie Deli...
A room on the 44 floor...
...with a primo view...
...in Times Square...
A horse named Mustang takes us on a chilly ride through Central Park...
Being mostly bound to a stroller at the butt level of thousands of tourists for hours at a time...
...getting knocked around on the subway...
...and just the general crazy that is New York City...
...this poor little guy deserves an award...
...or a cupcake from Crumbs in Bryant Park.

Mike enjoys the "Artie Lang"...
Lucky hangs in there like a champ and is also privileged to
Build-a-Bear.
Later, when asked what his favorite part of New York was, he responds "putting the heart inside Bear." This of course melts my heart.
Hunter took the train down from Boston to babysit.
He brought Alex...
Alex brought a goldfish...
We went to Rock of Ages on Broadway. As promised, it was "absurdly enjoyable" and "insanely funny".
It starred an American Idol.
Lombardi's pizza is the best in town...
...or maybe the world.
We had one really crumby day...
...tried to check out the Empire State Building. The $46.00 entrance free turned us around...
...tried to shop the big department stores and tourist traps in Times Square.
The wet crowds turned us off...
So, naturally we resort to what we do best...
But, this is all Lucky really wanted to do...
...or...
...not...
It was a quick trip. A lovely trip....
Thanks for joining us, Matt and Tammy.

Philadelphia is kind of Awesome

When in the town of Brotherly Love,

You can do such popular activities as visit Besty Ross's house...

Of course you must see the Liberty Bell...

Or the very spot that the Declaration of Independence was signed...

Even, the final resting spots of some of our founding fathers...


OR


You can visit rival cheese steak stands on opposite corners of the street and judge for yourself...

By the way, Geno's kicked a whole lota butt.

Then, you can take the very same steps as Rocky Balboa screaming "Adrianne" all the way to the top, like some nerdy tourist,






Oh yeah,

Eastern State Penitentiary was pretty creepy. It is the ruins of the first prison of it's kind and ran from 1827 to 1971 holding such notorious criminals as Al Capone.
