Wednesday, April 29th:
Today the high speed vacation started catching up to us. We felt like we had been walking everywhere (which we pretty much had) and were starting to wear down. We had gotten up early everyday and got back to the hotel late every night.
We started the day by grabbing breakfast at a little bakery and taking a walk through central park.
I love this view of the park with the buildings in the background.
Here is Bethesda Fountain that is always in the movies involving Central Park. We had a nice walk through the park to our next destination.
We spent the rest of the morning at the LDS Temple in Manhattan. It was so nice and quiet inside it didn't feel like you were in the city at all (it is located right across from Lincoln Center).
Kyle's favorite part was the armor room. Lots of swords and suits of armor.
After the Met, we went back to the hotel early (6 pm) and got room service. It was so nice to get some rest.

We spent most of the day on the subway today. We took a 2 hour trip to Brooklyn to go to Coney Island.
Of course we had to have a famous Nathan's hotdog. It was good.
Coney Island was pretty empty. We walked on the boardwalk and out to the pier. It was a cold morning.

Our plan was to go here next, but we were getting really tired.
So instead we decided to just go to the Met (Metropolitan Museum of Art) and call it a day.
They had this cool Temple and lots of Egyptian mummies and artifacts.

Here is the famous Cyclone roller coaster. It was closed. Actually, almost everything is closed until Memorial Day.
Then we took the subway over to the Brooklyn Bridge. We walked over it to the Manhattan side.
Here I am looking over the traffic under me on the bridge.
Then we went back to our hotel ( 2 hours) and changed for our night out. Then we went back into Manhattan (1 hour each way) to eat dinner and go to the Lion King on Broadway. It was an excellent show! Really amazing.
Another great day in NYC!
