The wonderful museums of NYC have always been on my to do list, but we have always been so caught up with being out and about they have always fallen by the wayside… On this trip it wasnt just about being out in the street, so we thought Marley might enjoy a rich art experience...
The Roman/Greek exhibit was awe inspiring… The modern section had loads of famous pieces and eventually making our way through the massive mazelike space we found the shark, it was very impressive, if not looking a little bit knackered… Out through the Egyptian space, there is one room which has one wall of windows, a water feature and some great pieces of Egyptian art, the through the other bits, the mummies, hieroglyphs etc, just fantastic!
We probably need another day or two there to get full scope, but we got to see the main points of interest to me and that was the main thing!

A family morning as we walked through central park to the Metropolitan Museum of Art… Thought Marley would enjoy the art and have been stinging to see Damien Hirsts Shark, and Mark as an artist always appreciates some good art! The Met was brilliant, spent hours there, was really really happy that we finally made it…
Walked around and over towards Serendipity 3 for their Frozen Hot Chocolate, finally arrived, starving ready to eat and they don’t allow strollers… We were asked to leave it out the front of the shop or tip some guy across the road to mind it… I was devastated, and explained to the man that I was desperate to try the frozen hot chocolate so could I just grab one take away, he said they didn’t do take away, but he would make an exception because of the circumstances… I am so glad he did, it was AMAZING!!! I drank as we walked back to 5th Ave, in heaven!
5th Ave again, Nike town again, just walking around, stumbled across the sex and the city 2 filming, checked that out a bit… Didn’t see very much though, the girls were in Bergdorf Goodman’s... And we walked and walked till we arrived home by night to pack…
