More New York....

Day two in New York City went a little like this....

We started the day with a walk around Times Square.  The boys decided that M&M World was their favorite shop.  I have to admit, you can buy some pretty funky colored M&M's there.

We then took the subway up to the Museum of Natural History (which was exciting for the boys since "Night at the Museum" was filmed there).  Here are the boys and Jackie on the front steps (Ben is hiding behind the lady on the left as he was angry that we had to go outside for this photograph!).

Here are Ben and Jackie next to the biggest mosquito ever found.  Apparently is was found in the Amazon valley in 1962 (although I might be making that up).

Here, the boys and I pose next to some statues made by somebody (hard to keep it all straight, that place is huge!).

Jacob poses with his favorite flightless waterfowl.

Ben and a giant wheel he says is from "Indiana Jones".

And of course, even in New York, the boys have to play a few video games.  The third floor of the ESPN Zone is a great place to play them since they also have a bar!

After all that activity, Jacob, Ben and Jackie had to take a bathroom break at a Subway restaurant before the family embarked on.....

...the night bus tour of New York!  This is a self portrait as the bus pulls out of Times Square.  It was a two hour tour that hit many of the highlights of the city (including the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, views of the Statue of Liberty and much more).  What a great way to end the day (along with the slices of pizza we picked up on the way back to the hotel!).

It certainly was a great weekend and the entire family is looking forward to a return visit next summer.
