Big Birthday Celebrations in the Big Apple

Instead of the double birthday celebration that we have been doing since BBP joined us five days after big bro's second birthday, we decided to take the party on the rail and up to New York City to celebrate turning 8 & 10!!

 

Thursday morning, the boys and I boarded the regional train in Charlottesville and six hours later we were at Penn Station in New York City.

 

Times Square

Still Swinging at 10. A little pre dinner Central Park playground time.

A familiar sight in an unfamiliar city.

No birthday would be complete without cake and candles.

Kings of Leon

A "real" New York bagel

Dinner with a view and the super moon.

Boys and I headed out to Queens to see the Archer cousins and meet Cecilia and Colin.

 

The boys and I were able to experience a "first" together. Our very first on Broadway play.

To close out our trip, we stopped for breakfast and some more park time and picked up souvenirs for our friends and family.
