Yesterday we stared by going to Central Park. It was a cool, clear morning – perfect for a walk in the park.
And the azaleas were in bloom!
The Bethesda Fountain was empty. Maybe they’re fixing it? One student wondered out loud what you call a fountain with no water.
Next, we did a quick stop at Rockerfeller Center. I got pictures of the things you’re supposed to get pictures of there:
To end our time in New York City, we had a couple of free hours in the Times Square area.
I decided I’d look for a hat shop. I found one right next to the Empire State Building.
But my most exciting find was an egg salad sandwich. When we were at the LA airport at the beginning of the trip, I was really crazing an egg salad sandwich. Ever since then, every time we stopped to eat, I looked for an egg salad sandwich, but never found one. Until yesterday:
After that, we went to the Newark airport, had an uneventful flight home, and the kids got picked up by their parents. The travel part felt fast.
What a great trip! I feel like I could do that indefinitely, if it weren’t for the sleep deprivation.
It definitely will be an adjustment to get back to Normal.
Glad you all got home safely! Think any of the students who have ever taken these amazing field trips with you now want to come back some day and see more or maybe even move out here?
Hope you are napping big time today. Blessings on the final days of the school year!
[P.S. – check Facebook soon for a notice about a former colleague of ours.]
Whew! So much fun, and now some rest. 😀
Was the egg salad sandwich good?? The suspense is killing me!
Jill – Hehe… yes, the sandwich was good. It was messy, and exploded all over my hands, but it was good.
Messy always gives a sandwich bonus points, imo. Glad to hear your craving was satiated.
