We didn't really do anything of significance while my sister and her family came to Charlotte, but we did take off for a long weekend in New York. A great stop in their month long adventure in the US , and the perfect opportunity for us to take the boys there for the first time.
We tagged along as KJL&M had booked their flights and hotels already. We book the same. It's an easy flight up to La Guardia, and a van took the 8 of us straight to our Fairfield Inn in the Financial District in Manhattan. After our experience in Philly, we opted for 2 rooms with king beds as A&I and the now teenage boys are crammed into a room with 2 doubles.
We dumped bags and headed straight to the Fulton St Subway to get over to High St in Brooklyn. We then spend the late afternoon wandering around Brooklyn Heights, taking in both Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. Doing all the touristy pick of the bridges and the Manhattan Skyline. Eventually we ended up at the Time Out Market, where we seemed to go 8 different ways to get dinner, but still manage to find a table together. Unfortunately the roof was closed for a private event. That's where we really wanted to be. The boys and I had eaten at a Time Out in Montreal, and that was a great experience. This place may have been even better still.
We continued walking along the East River, just being happy to be in a new city. Our last stop was at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, for the kids. From there it was across the street to the ferry, which took us back to Pier 11, just a short walk back to the hotel.
