There Is NO Place Like New York!

Our final few days of New York were spent sight seeing! Unfortunately by day four Caden had had enough of everyone and everything! Sleeping in New York is an adventure! You constantly hear sirens, horns honking or yelling! Therefor I'm not sure Caden really got good sleep not to mention we were constantly on the go and there was a three hour time difference! He wasn't eating like he should ~ quality or quantity!

Here are a few photo's of our sight seeing adventures! This is only a few! I took over 640 pictures - I love digital!
Ground Zero - we didn't have time to do the museum ... amazing when you see it in real life!

Caden thought the sight seeing bus was pretty neat! He didn't have to sit in a car seat and LOVED the wind blowing in his face.

OH - my - a gazillion Taxi's! Makes I-5 in Seattle during rush hour look like nothing!

There is SO much to see in New York ~ I felt we were rushed to see each site! and couldn't fully see each attraction!

NEVER in my life have I seen SO many people - Times Square! It was like a giant ant hill!

I loved the Toys R Us in Times Square - There is a huge Ferris wheel .. and check it out, one of the seats was Caden's "car"! We didn't have time to ride though :0(

The "dazed" look of the biggest Toys R Us ... but he scored an airplane out of it! Or ai-lane as he calls it! And a few other toys & t-shirts!

The Empire State Building! By the time we got to the observation deck, Caden was Done! It was nothing but a fit! Dan got several great pictures and I hung out inside with the naughty overtired little boy!

Central Park! We missed the Central Park Zoo - we didn't realize they closed at 5:00 and we didn't get there until 4:30 - all well!

It wouldn't be a trip to New York without a Yankees hat! Caden was pretty proud of it!

Caden loved our hotel room ... the closet wasn't full of junk and he could play in it all day!

... and did I mention, I watched the DVR'd Today show this morning ... and my sign made it :0) Cute clip Jen! Ethan was so cute waving!

The conference was a WONDERFUL experience! It was so fun to meet all of my blogging family in person! It was as if we all had been friends for a while ~ the INTERNET is Amazing! There were no introductions needed! The doctors - GREAT! The Workshops - INFORMATIVE! It would have been nice if the conference wasn't in a city with so much to see! I felt we missed some conference opportunities with other events we were signed up for! I can't wait for Caden to get into his teens and look forward to the yearly national conferences. It was so fun to see all of the kids in their teens TRULY enjoying themselves! They are all so cute! Little People of America is an awesome organization! Although Dan and I wondered, "what will we do when we come to the conferences and Caden doesn't want to hang with us, he will only want to hang with his friends" ... our worries were quickly answered! "We will go have a margarita and RELAX!"

Thank YOU again so much to our family and friends! Without you our trip would have all been put on credit cards!

My LP Mommies! FUN! I wish we were closer and could meet at the mall weekly with our rascals!

Nashville National Conference in 2010? Two days ago, amongst Caden's fits, I was saying NO WAY! On our 7 hour plane ride last night I was saying No ... but Now that I'm back home at my desk ... already missing my blog family and the conference environment ... I'm starting to think Maybe ? :0)

Anaheim National Conference in 2011?! You betcha Ya!!! Caden to Disneyland at Four - Oh boy!

... There is no place like New York! ... and there is No Place Like Home! and Home is where we are happy to be! It was SO quiet when I crawled into bed at 1am this morning!
