Day 4 - NYC - Park & Harry Potter

After some downtime, we made our way down to The Little Island on the Hudson. Little Island was developed on the remnants of an old pier and has an amphitheater and loads of native plants. It's a beautifully designed park not far from the Highline. The boys complained about how there are buildings everywhere in NYC, but this was a great chance to show them how the city creates green spaces. It was still hot, but the breeze from the river felt amazing. We also found popsicles that helped cool us down.

No trip to NYC is complete without a show, and this trip we joined the masses at Harry Potter & The Cursed Child at The Lyric Theater. It was a fantastic production with a solid story and incredible special effects. I will be wondering how they did some of the special effects for a long time. The boys really loved it.

The production was 3.5 hours long, so we weren't heading back to the hotel until almost 11. As we walked back, E was most astounded that so many people were still out and so many shops and restaurants were still open. He now knows what it means by "The city that never sleeps."

After over 19,000+ steps, we all collapsed into bed to rest up for our last day in the city.Baca lagi
