Monday morning we slept in and then rode the Subway to Central Park Zoo. It was another beautiful day. The kids enjoyed seeing the musical coo-coo clock (specifically the Hippos, according to Ranger) and the bears were really active which was fun. We also saw little red pandas resting in a nest.
We strolled through Central Park just a little bit and the boys climbed some of the big rocks. After the zoo we went straight Grand Central Station where Ranger remembered the "ninja" scene from John Wick that was filmed there. That put us right next door to One Vanderbilt where we did the Summit experience. All the kids thought the room with the big silver balls was fun. The views were spectacular, which we were grateful for since just a week ago New York was covered in orange smoke from fires in Canada.
After Summit, we got Joe's pizza, had a short break in the hotel room, and then went to Blue Man Group. Cadie wasn't very impressed with the Blue Man Group nonsense, but the boys thought it was fun. Both boys liked the toilet-papering at the end. Grant even did a surprise encore in the hotel room afterwards and threw toilet paper around the kids room! Grant and I made a quick dinner stop at O'Donoghue's again and it was just as good on night two! We were all pretty tired so we went to bed a bit earlier on Monday evening and we were all asleep by 11ish.
