New York - relief at last

Today is 10 degrees cooler than the last 10 days....hoorah!! It certainly made getting around (and being around) MUCH more comfortable.

It was all about the kids today. A play in Central Park in the morning followed by a walk down Broadway to the Manhattan Childrens Museum (while Shane went to the Guggenheim Art Gallery). What a fabulous place for kids! The girls had a fantastic time playing on all the exhibits and getting dirty with paints - they could have happily stayed for a week.





After lunch at a 'typical' burger joint, we stumbled upon one of those magical places that you can only dream about......a cupcake shop!!!! The array of different cupcakes was unbelievable and it was a touch decision which one to choose - but I couldn't go past the 'red velvet' cupcake.  The girls are normally happy to have anything with sprinkles on it so I knew they wouldn't be disappointed with whatever they got!


 I think we may become regulars!

An afternoon play in Central Park and the day is done....by all reports the weather is set to stay like this (cloudy and cooler at 25 degrees) for the next few days and I must admit I am thankful for that.
