We traveled to New York City for the Thanksgiving Holiday and visited with Brian, Laurie, Lisa, Aunt Cynth, Mel and Katie.
Brian and Laurie got a hotel room on 7th Avenue so we could watch the Macy’s Day Parade without having to wait with the millions (literally) of people who gathered on the street starting in the chilly, early hours of the morning.
The highlight of the parade was watching Katie on television when the Rockettes performed in front of Macy’s. Katie is the first from right in red (photo credit: Scott Ronyak).
Here’s the whole group (minus Katie) on Thanksgiving Day in the lobby of the Hotel Wellington.
After a delicious Thanksgiving dinner, we attended the “Rockettes and the Radio City Christmas Spectacular.” Radio City Music Hall is beautiful and impressively large, seating almost 6,000 people (photos credit: Lisa and Laurie). Louis had such a nice time with the baby sitters, Laurie and Cynth, that he didn't miss us at all.
The next morning we got up early to see the views from the Top of the Rock and on the way out we saw the almost complete tree in Rockefeller Plaza. Since it was Black Friday we did some shopping at a temporary Christmas market in Union Square.
We drove home on Saturday, after stopping in New Jersey to visit Christian, Meredith, and Moira.
What a great holiday, and a great viewing point. Very kind of your in-laws. A rich experience and a rich relationship.
