Last day in New York

Today was a rainy day, and so we saw something we rarely , if ever, see in Utah, ...people out walking in the rain with umbrellas!! I know that sounds so simple...but it was so fun!!! We walked to the Javitz Center for the 2nd day of hair show , in the rain...this time we wore coats....much smarter than yesterday....LOL... At the show , we saw the rest of the exhibits, and chatted with people about various products , from extensions, to springless irons, cordless irons, new dryers that hang from the ceiling, to salon software, Whew! soooo much stuff!!
We left the show around 3 pm and went to Soho by subway, and began walking, in and out of streets, looking for something cool for me to buy...I wasnt having any luck, and soon we were all the way down to World Trade Center location, so we began our treck back through Tribecca, which I did find some cute clothes to purchase, some Missme Jeans, T's and a couple of retro 80's outfits. Then onto Little Italy, China Town, Soho, Noho, and landed in our favorite spot, Greenwhich Village. We wove in and out of streets, until we found the familiar area we had been in on Saturday. We ate at a fun and crazy place called Jeckyal and Hyde, Donovan was a bit skeptical at first because it has spooky stuff all over the place, skeletons, werewolfs, gargoyles, and the bathrooms are in a hidden doorway hall, but the food was excellent! best I have had (PERSONALLY) since we came to NYC. After eating, BTW we have been walking since 3 pm and at the time of eating it is 9;30, we have been walking for 6.5 hours not including walking to the show and all around it.....there arent many fat people here, I know why!!!! so after eating we walked to the subway, and came back to midtown where we are staying....we are totally worn out, mosty soaked, and ready for a hot bath and bed! What a fun day playing in the rain, and walking all over downtown.
I really want to bring Jory and Staci and Jaci and Callan here next year, we will wait to bring Paige and Kaden when they are older, and would enjoy it so much more.
New York has been a blast, and we have done so much that it seems like we have been here for a couple of weeks, not just 4 days!
