Around 6am this morning I realised I wasn't going to fit it all in. The list is still way too long to fit in the few remaining hours. Love this city! FAO Schwarz have this WotNotWorkshop where the kids design their own Muppet and then their puppeters build it for them. It was our first stop this morning, the process was awesome. So much fun doing Max's one that I started trying to convince Emerson to give up her Build-a-bear or American Doll slot and do a Muppet...

Another drizzly morning in New York but it couldn't get in the way. We're only a few blocks from the Soup Nazi kitchen of Seinfeld, couldn't miss walking past it this morning. We headed down Columbus Ave towards the Dakota building where I found out Yoko still lives.Throughout Europe all of us connected fragments of history, Michelangelo in the Vatican and his home in Florence, Napoleon in France and Florence too for that matter, the breadth of roman influence et...

I dragged everyone up to the MLB store in Times Square to get a jacket. On the way my zipper broke on my 12 year old back pack. It has been going for awhile, ...

Yesterday was a PITA. We needed to leave the EU from the same airport you came in so we had to fly back to Frankfurt before heading to NYC. But anyway some 20hrs later... We arrive at the hotel. If you could have shot the Young Ones in our London hotel room, you could shoot Mad Men in our hotel room. Exactly how an unkept 1920s hotel would look by the 60s. However the location is awesome, across the road from the Russian Tea Room (not sure why I know that name...
