New York City! Again! But, this time, it was a Mom & sisters week. We’ll always treasure the memories of this trip.

I picked up both my sisters on a Sunday, drove to Mom’s, and then the four of us drove to Akron to stay overnight since our plane to NYC left early on Monday morning. Well, we thought it would leave early, but it was raining in New York, so there was an hour delay leaving Akron. But, Southwest is great. Although we didn’t leave the plane, people were allowed to disembark if they wanted to get off. It was a nice smooth flight to New York once we left the ground. And, we were at the hotel by noon. Very pleased with the Hilton Garden Inn on 48th and 8th. It’s the perfect location for all the walking we did every day. And, it’s just a quick walk to Broadway. That was great, because we had quite a bit of rain, but we didn’t let it stop us.

After taking them by some of the Broadway theaters, we went to the New York Public Library. I was disappointed that the Reading Room was closed for renovation. But, we posed with one of the lions. And, since we all worked at a library at one time, that was appropriate.

Even in the rain, we walked up Fifth Avenue, ending first at F.A.O. Schwarz. My sisters wanted to see the store, and I wanted to see the piano fro Big.

We started this trip saying we each got to pick three things we wanted to see. Christie picked St. Patrick’s Cathedral as one of hers.

And, then we walked over to Radio City Music Hall.

We spent a little time in Times Square, and then ended the day at Pigalle, the restaurant attached to our hotel. A little tired from a full day.
