The Empire State Building

It was time to visit The Empire State Building. Katie enjoyed the view from there.

A Toy Store

You're never too old for a toy store!

I had always heard of FAO Schwartz. It was fun to go there in person!

The Statue of Liberty

The next morning, Jennifer and Katie woke up early to find their way to The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. They were able to climb up to the base of the statue.

The First Sightseeing Spot

After Jennifer and Katie got checked into their hotel in New York, they went to find the place Katie was most excited about - Barnes & Noble. She found out New York had a four story book store, and she couldn't wait to go.

I was so excited to get here in person!

I was able to find books that I couldn't find at home. The only picture from New York that I would be sharing with my friends in the picture of the books I bought. I knew they'd be excited for me!

Up, Up, and Away

Katie was so excited to go on a trip with Jennifer this summer. They were going to one of Katie's Bucket List places.

We couldn't wait to get to New York City to celebrate Aunt Jennifer's birthday!

Mr. Limpet and Katie

Mr. Limpet and Katie have one big thing in common. Both of them like to be wrapped up in a warm blanket at least part of the day.

Mr. Limpet and I both like soft blankets. A lot of times he burrows in between the layers to make himself a den.

The Japanese Gardens

We decided to try to go to the Japanese Gardens again. Like last time, there was no parking close by, but Katie and I decided to take a hike from an available parking spot to the gardens. It was worth the walk.
