Spring Break: Tuesday in NYC

Daniel is a huge fan of the NYPD

On Tuesday, we started the day by hopping the subway to Canal Street. Soon after we arrived, William was the proud owner of a "Guess" watch (as in, my Guess is it's fake!) and the boys were excited to have a bottle of Justice League cologne.

Pretty much as soon as we got there, the skies grew dark, and it started sprinkling We stopped at a cafe in Little Italy for breakfast - and one of the best banana muffins I've ever had!

Next on the agenda was the American Museum of Natural History. We quickly saw that Daniel was having a tough time with things (the museum was huge, loud, & packed with people) but we'd already bought the tickets so we pressed on.

There were some great exhibits that we enjoyed. Zack and I found the museum to be poorly laid out, and with about a zillion students touring the place, it was chaotic. Daniel had several meltdowns, and even asked to go back to the hotel and take a nap.

If this child asks to take a nap, you know something's up.

He was DONE. We'd pushed him way too hard, and to say he was overstimulated would be an understatement. While Daniel and I went on back to the hotel, Zack & William picked up some (yummy!!!) wraps from the deli across the street for lunch.

We ate lunch in the room - and for the rest of the afternoon and most of the evening, we chilled at the hotel. Naps, rest, and general calm time. It was good for everyone, but especially for the little man.

To end the day, we walked over to FAO Schwarz. The boys enjoyed looking around. We saw this cool globe puzzle there - and Zack discovered that the boys' town, Mariupol, is on it! (I love that it's on most world maps!)
