Avery and G take NYC!

I had to go NYC for work and was able to bring Avery and G along for the trip. It was a whirlwind few days and we had a great time!! We arrived late Monday after a 4 hour delay due to weather (Avery handled the delay great - We made a stop at the candy store and they had a play area where she met a friend and passed the time). While I was at my meeting on Tuesday, Avery and G went to Central Park where they explored the zoo and took a carriage ride and had lunch at a little Italian joint and they also went to Do (which Avery has been obsessed with trying - they had to wait 30 minutes to get their Cookie Dough bowls but Avery said it was worth it!). After a quick nap, we met Aunt Debbie for dinner and then saw Uncle Nate's show. The plot is a bit advanced and there are some dark themes with PTSD but Avery really loved it and wanted to go back and see it again Wednesday night!

On Wednesday, Avery and G did the carnival area at Central Park - She was really excited to win 2 stuffed animals in the claw game with just one grab. She also met a friend from Florida and they were able to play together all day and do lots of rides. G and Avery also took a turn on the old fashioned carousel. We met Aunt Debbie and Uncle Nate for dinner and saw the show again. We got to go backstage both nights and Avery got to meet both the leads and see Uncle Nate's dressing room. It was such a special experience and am so glad she was able to see Nate perform.

We had a super early flight home on Thursday - We only got a few hours of sleep but Avery was a trooper and a joy to travel with. A big thanks to G for her showing her the city while I worked. We really had a great trip!!

Some cute Avery lines from NYC:

• At the zoo - "I'd really like to see some mammals now, G"
• "My love for you, G, is an active love and my love with Grammy is more of a peaceful love." 
• In the show one of the soldiers dies and the lead explains how it happens and says something about hiding in a fox hole and the grenade goes off. After the show Avery said "So Michael was eaten by a Fox?"

Day 1 - Carriage ride, extra hydration, lunch and nap!
