New York: Day 2 Broadway

We slept in until after 9 AM today! Granted, there was a time change, but considering we went to bed at 8 PM Eastern Time, that was a lot of sleep we all got. We all woke up refreshed and ready for another great day.

We walked to find a restaurant for breakfast- our hotel didn't have breakfast. About every 5 feet there is a restaurant. We intended to go to a cafe, but found a Paris Bakery and had to stop- it was a delicious decision.

We went and saw The Lion King! It was incredible. I laughed and cried, and was just is awe with the beauty and magnificance of this show.

After the show, young Simba and Nala were out signing autographs, which was super exciting for Claire. She went and got Simba's autograph and she is convinced he will be super famous someday.

The theater was beautiful!






Heading into the theater


We went around Times Square- holy cow this place is insane!

Here's the Disney Store- a jedi Christmas tree.

Very cool Tangled escalator


Here's the Hershey Store. It was very similar to Vegas.


Same with the M & M Store- very similar to Vegas




Top of the red glass stairs





There was so much to look at! This iconic spot- in so many movies- was truly unreal. The screens were bigger than we ever could have imagined.















On the way back we stopped by the NYC Public Library and then Grand Central Station. Both were so beautiful! We couldn't go into the library as it was closed, but we toured Grand Central Station and were beyond impressed by the beauty. I was reminded that Vegas is all fake and facade. But NYC is the real deal. Absolutely stunning.

Grand Central Station: (Claire and Camille were done by this point. We really need to go back to NYC with no kids)






This was an eternal escalator- you can't really tell, but this goes down forever and is so cool!






Back at the hotel, some of the decorations. Let me just stay, NYC knows how to do Christmas.
