NYC Day 4 - Part 1

On Sunday morning Calloway, Roselyn (my m-i-l), Laci (my step-sister-in-law), and I walked to the American Girl store where we had lunch reservations for Mother's Day. Mark had a last minute rehearsal for his concert that afternoon and we left Richard at the hotel, so that we could have a girl's date. This is Calloway with her American doll, Rebecca. She was so excited and as you can see the doll had her own chair and got to eat lunch with us. She even has her own plate and cup.





After lunch we walked up 5th avenue to see some of the more "posh" stores. I was amazed as we walked how many beautiful churches were just stuck in between skyscrapers. 
One of the more famous places that we passed was the Trump Tower....no, we didn't go in, even though it is open to the public.
Next stop, the ever famous, Tiffany's. We got to see the famous Tiffany diamond and we rode the elevator to the 3rd or 4th floor (I can't remember). Tiffany's has 7 floors of fine shopping. 
While there, we picked up a little something for me for Mother's Day....a charm for my bracelet.
I'll have to get a picture of that for ya! Here I am with my famous Tiffany blue box and bag.
Then we went to the Apple Store which looks like a giant glass cube as you approach. It is actually very cool architecturally designed, from the staircase, to the elevator, everything! 
Of course, the famous apple! 
This next building was right across the street from the Apple store. Do you recognize it?
Well, it's the famous Park Plaza hotel. And NO! We couldn't afford to stay there......
You either gotta have some dough or know somebody.....and this southern girl, don't know anybody! 
Stay tuned for a really fun post of FAO Schwarz....
Yes! It deserves it's own post.
