Day 2 in NYC = Macy's Thanksgiving Parade =really long post!

THURSDAY IS FILLED WITH ADVENTURE!!

Thursday morning, we got to go stand in line to get to our seats for the Macy's Parade pretty early! We had great seats to see all the amazing floats and it was nice because we were at the start of the parade. There were great and creative floats and of course all of the balloons were incredible and not to mention, HUGE! They look big on the TV, but in person they are unreal! I couldn't believe how many people they had holding each balloon so it wouldn't fly away! Crazy! :) (Luckily we had pretty nice weather and didn't get the rain we had the night before). It was so fun that all of us got to go and see it! It was a really neat experience we'll always remember! :)

Here are some of the floats that I liked best!!

After the parade we then decided we wanted to do some more exploring! We took the subway down to the Staten Island Ferry so we could go see the beautiful Lady Liberty herself! While taking the ferry to Staten Island we could also see Ellis Island. It was so cool! I actually imagined the Statue of Liberty to be a lot bigger but it was still incredible! :) I am so glad we got to go and see it! After we got back to the Hotel we got ready to go and fill ourselves full of an amazing Turkey Dinner! We went to a restaurant located in Central Park called the Boathouse. It was really pretty and the food was delicious! I was so full though! After rolling out of the restaurant Ky and I wanted to go down and go to Times Square at night with things all lit up and getting ready for crazy shoppers the next day!! It was so bright down there....the entire sides of buildings were lit up you almost forget that it was night time! :) We had a really funny experience in the "Charmin" bathrooms......they had a DJ up there and had computers to "rate your go" and all sorts of crazy things for a bathroom! Sara and I thought it was pretty funny.....especially on this huge toilet! After we completed our experience at Times Square we headed over to the Rockafeller Center and saw the BIG Christmas Tree....the ice rink....where they host the Today Show. Great Day!
