We made our trip to and from NYC without any weather problems. We were worried that it would be cold or snowing. On Sunday, it was raining the entire time but it didn't stop us from seeing the city! We were fortunate that it wasn't too cold...just wet! We ended up just walking around the Rockefeller Center vicinity and stopped at a few shops. We made our way down Fifth Avenue and stopped in a few shops such as FAO Schwartz, The Disney Store, NikeTown, and so on. We checked out the unlit Xmas tree in Rockefeller Center despite the wind and rain. We managed to destroy 3 umbrellas while we were there! We went back to our room for a quick nap time pick-me-up and then went to our favorite Italian restaurant in Little Italy...Da Nico's. It's the best!!!! We HIGHLY recommend it! Then, we walked around Times Square for a bit! The next morning, the weather was much more cooperative with us! It was sunny and 48 degrees!!! We woke up and headed to Macy's Santa Land!!! It was so much fun! I had seen bits and pieces of it on 
youtube.com but you don't get a true sense of it until you are there! While we were there, we made a stop to visit Santa Claus himself! Andrew ended up waving to him in terror but avoided sitting on his lap or getting his picture taken with him. I ended up sitting on his lap and realized the anxiety one has when asked the ultimate million dollar question: "What do you want for Christmas?" Honestly, when Santa asked me, I responded "I don't know." Now, you may ask "What kind of answer is that?" In the heat of the moment, I had no idea but can now tell you about 30 things I would like at this very second! It is very stressful and puts a lot of pressure on you! I understand why kids get freaked out by it! Andrew much rather shoot Santa an email from our laptop! Quicker and stress-free! I see where he's coming from now!

We then went to check out the window displays for Saks, Macy's, and Lord and Taylor! By far, Saks was the most beautiful where Macy's was more towards kids! We also went to Bryant Park and went ice skating! It was a challenge but we did it! Andrew only lasted about 10 minutes. It literally took longer to get his ice skates on than the amount of time he spent on the ice. Oh well, at least he can say he ice skated in NYC!
