    After filling up in some great Chinese food for lunch we made our way over to one of the places that Holden was most excited about: The Ice Cream Museum.

    Let's be clear. The Ice Cream Museum is light on the museum aspect, medium on the ice cream samples, but mega heavy on Sugar-fueled pink-fever-dream fun. Samples of ice cream abounded in a variety of different themed rooms. I personally love that right after the cotton candy room, the kids spilled into an indoor playground that would do well in Candyland.

    At one point Holden said, "I am SO happy we came here. It's probably all the sugar that's making me so happy." Truer words were never spoken.

    After the long morning of sightseeing and afternoon sugar rush we headed back to the hotel to crash, but not before getting sidetracked by the M&M Store. This was top on the boys' must-do list.

    While Nate & the boys rested, I met Heather for a drink and we had some time to catch up one on one. Then we set out to meet the boys for dinner on the Upper West Side at Maison Pickle. Heather mentioned that they had the best French Dips and the boys were stoked to try, and also the 24-later cake that we couldn't even finish between the 6 of us.
