NYC trip - day 4

Since we were out late last night for the 3rd night in a row, our plan
was to sleep in. Trey slept until 8:20! We had breakfast at the
hotel then headed out to Central Park. The previous few days were
packed, so Trey got to choose where we wandered. He loved climbing
the big rocks. We rented a canoe which was fun. Then we checked out
the little motorized sailboats, rode the carousel, and saw belvedere
castle.

We had both the American museum of natural history and the intrepid on
our list, and since we were right by the AMNH we tried that. Holy
line! So we rode the subway down to the intrepid. It was cool, but
Trey was ancy. I bought him a ticket to one of the rides so all he
could talk about was the ride. He's really not a museum guy. He
wasn't even that interested in seeing the planes or the space shuttle
(just the outside). We finally got to the ride - a flight simulation
that lets you go upside down. 30 minute line for a 3 minute ride.
Ugh! But he loved it so that's what matters.

We found a cool indoor market and split a bowl of authentic ramen,
which was super yummy and perfect for a chilly, windy, cloudy day.
Then we walked back to the hotel and are currently resting. Since we
had such a late lunch and no evening plans, I'm not sure we'll even
venture out again!

Tomorrow we'll hit AMNH then leave for the airport around 2:30pm.
