I was working on a small project in New York City in the spring of 2006. I found out that I was going to have to fly out there on Easter Sunday to attend a meeting the next morning. This did not please me too much, until I thought about bringing my family to spend the whole weekend.
So Madeline, Dana, and Dana's friend, Amanda (actually, she's a friend of the entire family) joined me for a long weekend in the city. Since it was the young girls' first time there, we did a lot of touristy stuff, like walking through Times Square, taking a bus tour of all of Manhattan, and going to a Broadway show. |

On Sunday, we went to Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral, where the lines were long and the service beautiful. We also saw the famous Easter parade |
On Friday night, we walked Times Square near our hotel |
On Saturday, we hopped on the tour bus and drove through all the Manhattan neighborhoods. We saw the Empire State building and stopped near Rockefeller Plaza to eat some hot dogs off a street vendor. We also went to Central Park |
