Elliot's First Apple.....Visit

We went in to the City on Saturday with Uncle Phil & 'Aunt' Claire. They came to visit us on Thursday and left on Monday. On Friday, they slept in (I don't blame them, 10 hours in a car to get here is exhausting!), then we went to Port Jeff to walk around. While Dave and I were teaching, they went to our fantastic Smithhaven Mall. Saturday morning we went to the city and go back around 11 PM, I think. Sunday we slept in again, as a day in the City takes several days to recover from. Sunday afternoon, we went to Grandpa and Grandma's to swim and had burgers and hotdogs. Monday morning, we sent them on their way!

In the City, Elliot (and Claire, as it was her first time in the City) saw the Statue of Liberty (from Battery Park), Wall Street, Ground Zero, and then we hopped back on the subway. Phil & Claire saw Avenue Q (Dave and I have already seen it, and Elliot will NEVER be allowed to see it - haHA!) and Dave, Ella and I headed over to...drumroll please?....anyone who knows Dave knows what I will say here....The Nintendo World Store! Then we walked around Rockefeller Center and THE Toys-R-Us. Phil and Claire met us at TRU, then we took them to see Rockefeller Center and Central Park. After stopping by Strawberry Fields, we headed home, exhausted!!!
