New York City Day 2

Wednesday April 3, 2013

We had breakfast at the hotel.  It was a warm breakfast with fruit and lots of food.  The line to get food was kind of long but we didn't have to pay for it so it was great!

After breakfast we had a little bit of time before the girls had to be at their dance classes so they all decided to go to Forever 21 pretty much across the street from the hotel.  This store was HUGE!  The girls looked so cute wearing their Dance Company gear. 

  

They have an NYC taxi inside Forever 21??? 

The walk to the dance theater was about 10 blocks so about one mile.  These dancers were so excited to dance at a school that they had heard so much about! 

We snuck a couple of pictures of them dancing before they told us we were not allowed to take pictures.  This was a jazz class.  From our point of view the girls did great but they felt so unmatched to the ability of the dancers there.  While the girls danced we (the moms) just talked and hung out for a while.  We were thinking that seeing Wicked on Broadway would be pretty wicked!

This is a picture with the instructor.  He told us "they did great! They definitely had a workout and then some."

Pictures outside the studio!  I just have to point out how perfect and effortless S looks.

We had a little time between classes.  We looked up the Soup Man from Seinfeld and it was only a couple blocks away so we went over there.  Once there we realized that you had to order your soup but there was no place to sit. We were cold and we needed a place to sit so we just took pictures and went to another soup place where we could be warm.  So NO SOUP FOR YOU! 

Back outside Alvin Alley. 

While the girls danced at the African Dance class we walked up to Julliard to get our tickets for a Repertoire that they were having.  We were planning on going tonight but it was pretty much sold out so we got tickets for Friday and now we had Wednesday night open.... What to do???  Wicked???  We decided to see if we could get tickets.

The New York City LDS Temple is right across the street from the Lincoln Center and Julliard.  What a beautiful sight among all the chaos of the city.  We went in and just looked at the chapel area.  Once inside it was like being in any chapel in Utah.  Quiet and peaceful and it even had a gym inside.

I took a picture through the window.  Then they told us to come in.  I was ready to video when they told me that it wasn't allowed.  But at least we got to watch their African dance.

Then we went to the box office to see about Wicked tickets and they had some awesome seats available.  So we splurged and bought them.  Pricey but it was worth every penny!!!  Amazing show!!!

We got a picture together! 

After the show we went to the M&M store.   

Times Square never gets old! 

Amount walked Wednesday = 5.1 miles
