Thursday, Day 17

Adam called at 7 am to say that his plane had landed at Kennedy, so I went for a quick run in the park. They actually passed me on the street as I was running home, cool. After a brief time getting ready we headed out to explore the city. We headed down Columbus to check out the boutiques and the details for the museum. We were then on a search for some new sandals for Adam. That was probably the only problem we were all having, finding comfortable shoes. We went over to 5th avenue and found a comfy pair at Niketown. We then headed over to Times Square to meet my brother and friends at the Marriott Marquis for a drink on the 8th floor....Unfortunately on the way we encountered the Singing Cowgirl.....Yuck, nothing like a 70 year old topless woman to ruin your evening.:(...After a drink we headed out to dinner to the Red Eye Restaurant.... a bit pricey for us...but good otherwise. Adam and Katelyn wanted to walk home, which was 30 blocks so we took a shortcut thru the park. Great idea....it was hopping!! There were kickball tournaments, softball tournaments and then we actually got to see a croquet tournament. Everyone was dressed in white....it was like being sent back to the 20s...pretty neat. Headed home...the kids had been up for more than 24 hours...til tomorrow:)
