~Central Park, Trump Tower, and The Empire State Building~

One of Hunter's goals for this trip was to meet Donald Trump and get his autograph. So this morning we headed up to Trump Tower. We didn't expect that we would even see Donald Trump, but Hunter didn't know that.
We went inside Trump Tower and went up as far as they would let the public go. We went up and saw the public gardens (a few trees and benches) that were on the 5th floor of Trump Tower. Hunter just thought it was cool being inside.

We then headed over to Central Park for a carriage ride through the park. It was fun seeing the Ghostbuster building, where they filmed a lot of Home Alone 2, and just people watching. We saw an older man dancing in the middle of the street, which Hunter thought was extremely funny.


Jerry and Darinda flew out in the afternoon, so we headed to see the office Dave's work was moving out of, then on the way back to the hotel we stopped and visited the Empire State Building. Our hotel was a block away from it. It was fun to get the view of the city during the daylight, since we had already seen the view of the city at night.
We were really exhausted from running, running, running the whole trip, and Dave was tired from being at work all day, so we decided to take it easy that evening. We went and picked up some dinner, brought it back to the hotel, then rented a movie, and played games back in our room. I think Dave really appreciated the quiet evening :)
