New York City Trip - Day 2
The second day (Wed, 7/13) was boat day.
We went to Central Park, did the rowboats first thing in the morning, did the toy model boats, and in the evening went and did the Circle Line Cruise – it’s an evening 7 PM – 9 PM cruise around the Hudson called the “Harbor Lights Cruise”.
Both kids liked the rowboats. Little sister sat in the back with Mommy. I rowed. Michael sat in the front and we called him “Captain Michael” which he got a kick out of.
Michael really enjoyed driving the model sailboats. He controlled one, and I drove one (after little sis decided she wasn't interested in controlling her own boat, I controlled it).
We played "tag" across the pond, taking turns trying to catch each others' boats.
We bought 4 CityPass New York booklets. They’re a pretty good discount … You get tickets for 6 places for about the price of 4. It cost $116 for each person’s. We only bought 4 for the adults, since many of the places were free for kids under a certain age. For the kids, we just paid for the events that required kids their age to pay.
The Circle Line Cruise was 1 of the 6 items in the City Pass booklet.
The only problem with the CityPass is then you feel a sense of pressure to use up all 6 tickets to get your money’s worth.
It rained a little bit on the Harbor Lights Cruise. It was a 1 hour 45 minute cruise. Michael seemed really happy when I took him to the back of the cruise boat and held onto him as he peered over the edge and watched the choppy water below.
