So today was basically a former science teacher’s dream… we went to the American Museum of Natural History!! When we were planning out our trip and trying to decide what to do, this was like the only thing I wanted to make sure we went to haha! Except for maybe the statue of liberty of course. ;0) We stopped by Starbucks for breakfast and then took the subway down to the museum to start our day!

Mommy loves some Starbs! |
|
Serious baby conversations with Uncle Justin about his coffee and how it’s not real New York coffee and how Uncle Adam would be disappointed that we even set foot in a Starbs here lol… |
|
Well Hello there Mr. Roosevelt! |
|
“Dad, who is this guy?!?!” |
|
Enjoying some of the geology exhibits! |
|
Mommy’s fave! Triceratops! |
|
PANDA!! |
|
Always impressive :0) |
Jacob, Jackson and I left the museum and headed back to the hotel while Justin and Madeline did some more walking around and sightseeing. Our concierge had given us some tiny cupcakes earlier in the week because our taxi had to drop us off way down the road in the rain with all of our luggage and a baby since the road in front of the hotel was under construction. They were so yummy that when we passed the tiny cupcake shop, Baked by Melissa, I of course had to get a few more. They were each different flavors and so fun to eat!

So many good combos! It was hard to chose a favorite! |
After letting Jackson take a nap at the hotel, we met up with Justin and Madeline at Toloaches Mexican Cantina for dinner. This place had some really great Mexican food and was a nice way to end our trip! I ordered some fried avocado fries, they were interesting and I would venture to say that I enjoyed eating them as well haha. Jackson even enjoyed a few bites!
After dinner, we walked around Times Square for a little bit just taking a few moments to say good bye to the Big Apple!
Tomorrow we head back to Houston!
