New York: Part 4 Central Park

The evening of our first day, when we were all beat and tired and hot, we ended up in beautiful Central Park.

I cannot tell you the feelings it brings to my heart to have given my children this experience of traveling. Since our trip, whenever they see the park, or a show set in New York, they remember.

This trip was to celebrate our ten-year wedding anniversary that is coming up in December. Of course it would have been much cheaper, simpler, faster, to have gone by ourselves. But that is the thing, it was so much better taking our kids with us.

I love sharing my dreams:

Hot dogs and pretzels in Central Park.

Kids were enthralled with the rocks.

It was a short stay that day in the park, I wanted to go back, the kids wanted to go back.

Hopefully one day we will.

We are taking Lucy on our 10 year anniversary trip to Hawaii in Feb (really more like our 11 year!)

You are so right. It so much better to share the experience with them. She probably won't ever remember it, but we will!

What a wonderful experience to share with them! :)

I can't wait to visit Central Park when I visit NYC again in a couple of weeks. Our schedule is jam packed but I am going to steal some time away to see things I didn't get to last time.
