Michael and I headed to New York last weekend. GiGi flew up to take care of the kids so we could be by ourselves. It was frigid but at least it was dry.
Our hotel was on Broadway next door to the Late Show. It was the perfect Central location to everything we wanted to do and see.
Now who has heard of the "American Girl"? I had heard of them but was not aware of the craze they have become amongst little girls. By the time they hit mainstream I was out of the doll stage and aren't my parents lucky. These little dolls cost $115-$149 each. That does not include a change of clothes or accessories either. You can even buy matching clothes for your daughter to wear. We thought Cabbage Patch dolls were expensive at $30 and $40 but this is unbelievable. I hope consignment sales carry this line when Virginia gets into them.
Look at this place. You couldn't even move and people were walking out with one and two large full bags. That would be at least 2 or 3 hundred bucks a pop. I will say, however, it was one of the sweetest things to see some of these little girls so excited to be there. One Mom told us she and her daughter went to a brunch in the store and her little girl was so excited that she didn't eat a bite of her $40 plate.
You won't believe this one... They have a hair salon so you can cut the doll's hair to match your daughter's hair.
Okay, enough about American girl....
The store fronts were so creative. here we are at Macy's. When we got inside we found out that every girl with the name Virginia, got a $10 gift card to Macy's today. Of course we didn't have Virginia with us, and there was no way Mom was going to load them up to go to our Macy's back home. They were promoting the movie "Yes, Virginia".
We got half price tickets to Mary Poppins. What an awesome show it was too!
For you Dad, there is a post office inside the Manhattan Macy's.
I can't remember what building this is.
