After flying to Montreal after work on Thursday night we took a lunchtime flight to New York on Friday. We were staying at the Marquis Marriot right on Times Square and headed straight out as soon as we dropped off our bags. First stop Toys "R" Us then supper at the Hard Rock Cafe.

The following day we decided to buy a 'hop on, hop off' bus tour to see all the sites. We took a seat on the double decker bus while the tour guide pointed out landmarks and told us some interesting facts about the city of New York. I didn't realise that the SoHo district is the area that is South of HOuston St, Tribeca is TRIangle BElow CAnal Street and DUMBO, the suburb just over the Manhattan Bridge, is Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass.
Steve took Cooper to a
Spiderman show on Broadway in the afternoon while Ryder and I visited the Disney Store in Times Square. Cooper loved it; he was so pleased to have seen the 'real' Spiderman and Green Goblin. That night I went to the Wintergarden theatre on Broadway to see
Mama Mia! I had a seat in the centre, four rows from the front so I sung my heart out.
On Sunday we took the ferry to see the Statue of Liberty and on Monday we visited Central Park. We went back to Central Park on Tuesday morning to let the boys play on the playgrounds before our long flight to Australia leaving that afternoon.
