Leaving NYC 2013

These skyscrapers form their own canyons. So similar, but so different from another trip's sunset I remember....Mt. Zion National Park.

Robert and I decided we walked more here and at Boston, than at the Grand Canyon or Yosemite!

After 3 weeks, it's time to head back to Georgia. Our 5th summer doing this crazy business of sleeping in a (car), eating off a camp stove, bathing in campground restrooms (some better than others) meeting people from all walks and seeing America.

We can say along with Woody that we have been from California to the New York Island, from the Red Wood forests to the Gulf Stream waters, from the diamond deserts to the wheat fields waving. What a treasure our varied USA country is. What a treasure our family time is, too.

And of course as we drive on down the highway the next 2 days, we'll dream up another RVing adventure!

Last nite NYC July 10, 2013

Abigail Magic Lights show Times Square

I guess they figured they had a show to offer at least as good as some character cartoon people and a guy in brief undies playing a guitar. (This isn't quite Key West at dusk, but generally the "artsays" come out at dark.) Afterwards they passed they hat and collected about $5-8 for three separate 5 mins. shows. Where were their parents. (Right there videoing.)

Times Square good bye!

Our last nite of the tour. Katie and Abigail got this crazy idea to perform a magic show here (not so crazy for those two I guess.) Katie rustled up an audience and Abigail worked her magic... complete w audience participation.

John's Pizzeria, w. 44 th Street

The pizzeria with brick ovens was once a church, but I don't know the history. Elegant staircase and the stained glass windows remain.

Our last supper - Yankee Tour 2013.

John's Pizzeria, NYC

July 10, 2013. It's hard to believe all we've seen and experienced in a day, starting this early morning at TODAY.

I saved this dinner rec. from a friend, maybe Karen Gallagher or Beth Stevens? But John's Pizzeria can't be beat! The pizza was amazing, but you have to have the garlic knots!! This was just great. It does get very crowded at dinner with the theater crowd, so go early or after the shows start like at 8 pm.

260 W. 44 th Street (walk to Times Square)

Liberty Legos Toys R Us

We went to FAO also, both are just outrageous toy lands. TRUs more airy and open space. Statue of Liberty in legos. Also Empire State Building.
