Day 45 - New York

Time is going too quickly now. Only 2 days left in New York. 😥 After breakfast we headed down to Times Square to see if we could get some discounted tickets to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Had to wait in line for awhile but scored!! Got our tickets for the 2pm matinee so had a bit of time to kill. Walked down to the Highline which is where the trains used to run but has now been turned into a bit of a community park area and has some nice views of the city and river.

 

Walked back and Ian and the kids sampled some New York hot dogs from a little van on the road. Apparently they were really good.

Headed back to the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre and took our seats for the show. They were great seats but I don't think there would have been any bad ones as the theatre was quite small. The show was brilliant! The two actors who played Charlie Bucket and Willy Wonka were fantastic. We all really enjoyed it.

 

Back to the hotel to shower and change and then Ian went off to watch the Mayweather fight while I  took the kids to a free outdoor movie screening of Spider-Man 3 in Central Park. So cool! We took our blanket and some snacks and enjoyed soaking up the atmosphere of Central Park.  We had about 45 minutes before the movie started in which Kaleb found some friends to play ball with. I love how he manages to make friends everywhere we go.
