After our daily delicious breakfast, we headed into NYC and stopped first at the High Line. This is a newer, gorgeous piece of NYC. It used to be a railway above the streets in the meat packing district. Since it was no longer in use, it was turned into a gorgeous new park.
Next we went to participate in Broadway Classroom. We were split into 2 groups where actors and staff from the cast of Phantom of the Opera led us through a song and dance lesson in a real rehearsal studio.
Central Park! What a gorgeous green space in the middle of such a bustling city! We saw Strawberry Fields, discussed the type of rock that makes building on the island possible, hung out around the Bethesda Fountain (seen in MANY movies), and found a pile of snow where we got to have a huge spontaneous snowball fight!
At Madame Tussauds Wax museum we got to "hang out" with all of our favorite celebrities.
The kids especially loved sight seeing and souvenir shopping in Times Square.
To end the night, we had fantastic seats to see Phantom of the Opera!
