What a day! Danielle came back to hang out with us for most of today! She joined us around 9:45, and we went to the diner. We were there for a loooong time...like, until nearly noon. Then we rushed home so that Jonathan could take a nap. He ended up sleeping for 3 hours, which was nice b/c then D and I had lots of time to catch up!
She left around 2:30, and I got Jonathan ready for our next excursion. We headed back into NYC to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade balloons being inflated. It was really cool. We met Dave in Penn Station again and jumped on the subway to the Museum of Natural History. The balloons were all around it, and they were huge. I have some pix, but no time to upload them. The only downside was that everyone was there, and most had strollers or little feet. The police seemed to be more of a headache than a help, in that they were stopping up the foot traffic. So, we strolled past one set of balloons; then hightailed it past the second set. After a short subway ride back downtown, we walked past the original Macy's and saw all the Christmas decorations. That was pretty cool too. Once we got into Penn Station, we realized that the trains were all backed-up: we waited in Penn Station (Dave smartly got us dinner there), we waited in the actual train, we waited at various stations, and we waited and waited. So we just got home (at 10:20). Poor Jonathan was a real trooper (or is that "trouper"?).
Probably won't be able to blog tomorrow, as we'll be in southern NJ for most of the day. Happy Thanksgiving!

Did you see any terrorists at Penn Station? Maybe that's why the trains were backed up.
heard about it, but sure didn't see any...or maybe they were everywhere...Penn Station was a crowded mess.
