"Rexy" in the lobby from Night at the Museum. The Museum wrapped up our whirlwind tour of New York City in January 2008. It was Rachel's turn to follow in her older brothers footsteps of a Dad and daughter trip to New York. We flew into Islip on a Wednesday, and took the train to Manhattan. Our hotel was steps from Times Square and Central park. The first afternoon, we explored Times Square, ate at Mars, and saw the play Mary Poppins on Brodaway. The next day, the weather was glorious, and we took the ferry to Liberty Island to see the Statue of Liberty. That afternoon we saw the movie, Alvin and the Chimpmunks. The last day, we saw the Empire State Building, and the Museum of Natural History. It was a fun, busy and exciting trip which was enjoyed by Rachel and Dad immensely!!
