We went into Macy’s, FAO Schwartz, went to the top of the Empire State Bldg. and took a ferry ride and saw the Statue of Liberty, Rockefeller Center, etc.

Two years later 9/11 happened, so I was glad we went when we did.

The expression on the face of the boy in red is heartwarming!

Happy Mother's Day, DD! I hope you can spend some of it with your boys!
