Another day in the big apple

Today whilst the Ireland's hit another shopping mall Daisy, Nanny Maureen and I ventured into the city with a suggested itinerary from Daddy, so first stop was Washington Square Park which is beautiful but unfortunately most of it was closed for a refurb but Daisy did get to go in the playground. We then started to walk up Fifth Avenue and called Daddy and Sam to say hi (which made us miss them even more), it then started to spit so we were popping in and out of shops but unfortunately the rain did not let up and it poured and poured for about three hours but we still carried on walking, first to see the Flat Iron building and then on to the Empire Diner for lunch.

Nanny Maureen decided to head back to the hotel as she was so wet whilst Daisy and I went on to the Whole Food Market to get some fruit before heading to Macy's to see the Christmas windows which are based on one of Daisy's favourite films 'Mircle on 34th Street'.

We popped in Macy's and saw the Big Apple that is dropped on New Year's Eve in Times Square. It was then over to the top of 5th Avenue for the Disney store, the windows were done out beautifully but unfortunately they did not have much HSM stuff which was a disappointment but Daisy did get to meet Jasmine which was a total surprise and she was a little in aure of her.

By this time it was gone 6pm and our little lady was getting tired so we stopped off in Times Square for the biggest piece of Pizza before getting the bus back to the hotel.

I am not sure how she is coping at the moment as when we are at home she is in bed at 7am and normally wakes up around 6am, here she is in bed anytime from 8pm to 10pm and then up at 5am!!!!

We arrived at Washington Square via the subway


Having fun in Washington Square Park which was beautiful esp with it being autume and the leaves falling

The Flat Iron building in the pouring rain and I mean pouring, Daisy was not too pleased with having to pose for this one!


We finally made it to the Empire Diner, where Daisy had a cocktail of OJ!! and sausages in blankets for lunch
