NYC

We took a detour on our way home from Quebec and stopped in New York for several days to visit Dave's cousin Craig and check out the City. I haven't been there since Sam graduated from med school. Just as busy and crazy as I remembered it to be!
Times Square. We saw Spamalot. With Clay Aiken. I enjoyed it - thought it was hilarious but I also love the Holy Grail. I think Dave would have preferred to see Wicked or something a little more dramatic.
We hit Central Park. We missed the peak colors but it was still gorgeous.

Empire State Building

not something you'd see in Seward:

We also hit China Town:

Grand Central Station

We spent an entire day at the Museum of Natural History and didn't even make it through 1/2 the exhibits! We came upon a film crew at one of the entrances. Turns out they were filming a scene in a movie with Danny DeVito and Michael Douglas, 'Solitary Man'. If you see someone in a bright orange jacket in the background - that's me!! :)

There were some really cool exhibits, some really old. Some specimens are over 100 years old!

like this Labrador Duck

The moose on the right, when collected, held the world record for antler size at 77+ inches.

And then we checked out Rockefeller Center. Ice rink was open.

Saw this in a window:

Had a great time! Great to see Craig. But it's nice to be back in Seward where the pace of life is a little slower in some aspects.
