Times Square - A Day of Sight Seeing

On Sunday we wanted Dave and Kayla to see more of New York City since they really only had one full day left to explore. So we thought a bus tour would be the best way for them to see everything. Philip and I went with them to Times Square where they bought their tickets for their downtown bus tour. The CitySights bus tours are great because you can hop on and off at any stop and a new bus will be there every 5 minutes. It's kind of like a free bus ticket all day. On the tour, Dave & Kayla stopped off at Battery Park and took a small boat cruise near the Statue of Liberty and they also went back to Chinatown to buy some more purses!

After they had been riding around in the heat all afternoon, Philip and I met them back at Times Square for dinner at the ESPN Zone. I think Dave & Kayla were exhausted from their busy afternoon in the heat and we all enjoyed a good 'ole American dinner in the air conditioning and a chance for us to watch some more Olympics on the 100 or more televisions at ESPN Zone.

Although the subways took FOREVER to get home that night - we all had a great day and were pretty tired. I hope Dave & Kayla had a good time and were able to say they saw a lot of New York. On Monday they met Philip at his work and started the 15 hour drive back to Iowa in two days. They just made it back last night!
