Day 1 in NYC

 

We had a nice, relaxing morning today.  After watching church, we headed out on a Times Square shopping trip.  Our main stops were the M&Ms store and the Hershey Store.  

This picture on the right is barely 1/3rd of the  "M&M wall".   You can take a plastic bag and hold it under the bottom of a color and add as much as you want.  At the counter, you pay by the pound. 

Lunch was at Shake Shake, then we headed to our hotel to get ready for the play.

We had tickets for the matinee performance of the Book of Morman.  It was nearly a mile to walk to it, and it was a bit warm.  We found the play very hilarious!  But we can see how someone who is very serious about religion could be offended.   
After that we headed to The Perfect Pint, an Irish pub recommended by friend Gail.   I enjoyed Shepherd's Pie while Mary had a pair of cheeseburger sliders.

Tomorrow we head to the US Intrepid air and space museum.

Isn't it great to "watch" church no matter where you are? I figured you were on your trip when I didn't see you yesterday! This sounds like another great trip!!
