New York City

My mom and I took Maya to New York City for two days in April.

 We took the train up and back.

 We stayed in Time Square on the 35th floor. Maya loved looking out the window and watching all the people. She was very puzzled by why all those people were still outside when it was bedtime!

 We took Samantha (my doll when I was little) to tea at the American Girl Cafe.

 We had fun exploring watching all the people in Times Square.

 After tea and a long day, we had "dinner" at the concierge lounge at our hotel. We had access to the lounge thanks to the points my dad acquired. Thanks, Dad! I know how much you would have loved the idea of Mom and I in NYC with Maya.

 Maya got to pick out a gift (or two) at the American Girl Cafe, and she selected a baby carrier, which was perfect for taking Sleeping Baby out to see the sights.

 We explored Central Park.

 And we made it to Central Park Zoo on a beautiful April morning.

 Maya also got to try her first Magnolia cupcake. She liked it.

We went to see the Lion King on Broadway on our last night in the city. Maya absolutely loved it; I'm so happy that my love of musicals has passed on to her. The three of us had a fantastic trip - thanks for coming with us, Mom!
