And by the way, I’m giving everybody an extra day to catch up with reading/commenting due to the Easter holiday: your comments on any of the NYC posts must be up by 10:00 p.m. Central Time on Monday, April 13 in order to enter! I have some pictures of a few other NYC sights that didn’t fit in anywhere else, so I am sharing them in this last post. We visited the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum. I have to say that it was my…

I can’t thank you all enough for hanging in there while I bore the crap out of you with my vacation photos and stories. The good news is, this is the penultimate recap post! Tomorrow we reach the end (thank goodness!). On Monday I plan to do a special post that answers any questions you may have left me in the comments, since I totally sucked at making time to go back and comment in response to everyone like I normally do.

The younger boy had been reading the book that Julesie got for him as well as listening to some classic rock tunes; he was super-psyched about going and trying out a couple of guitars in a place where the greatest rock-and-rollers of all time have done the same thing. Our first stop once inside was to take a photo of him posing next to “Old Yellow”, a…

Did you know I’ve got a contest going on right now, to win a little prize package from NYC? Click HERE for more info! Fifth Avenue in New York is a special place to visit. It is home to many beyond-high-end shops such as Tiffany & Company, Prada, Gucci, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Bergdorf Goodman, just to name a few. I have to add that these are not the places on Fifth that we visited. We wouldn’t even be able to afford to pay attention in these stores! One stop we had to make, being fans of “The Apprentice” and all, was Trump Tower. It’s a really cool…
