You guys are great,so friendly,thank you for your welcome! TARA, I'm from queens,which borough are you from?

No, the other NY, lol. Upstate between Syracuse and Utica

Now I'm wishing I had enough money to visit New York again. I haven't been in a decade. Last time I went, Zaven and Caly were like 7 and 4. We went to the Empire State Building and the National History Museum and took the ferry out to the Statue of Liberty. We thought about going in the World Trade Centers but were running out of money and time. I remember thinking that they weren't going anywhere and we'd go on the next trip. I never could have imagined that they'd be gone the next year. Do you get in to the city often? Or is it too expensive?

oh ok tara,you're like a world away lol. No one would have ever thought that they would be gone thebigscott.It was a shocker for everyone. I usually only go to manhattan for continuing education meetings.I love manhattan but too much traffic,no parking.Otherwise I would go more often.It is expensive if you're paying for a hotel that's for sure.

We couldn't afford to stay in Manhattan. We stayed in Jersey and drove in, LOL. In fact, we didn't even drive all the way. We did a Park and Ride so we wouldn't have to pay to park in the city. Too time consuming and expensive. But staying outside the city made it affordable to hit some places we couldn't have otherwise. I grew up in Binghamton, even though I live in Kentucky.

Very good,I know I could not afford to pay like 400 dollars a day for a descent hotel room lol

I've never been to the city, other than to drive past on the way to Long Island. Going to this summer but Philadelphia, not NYC. Maybe someday, I have no huge great desire, I am not a city person. Only going to PA because MIL is taking us all and since she is going because that's where her oncologist is and wanted a "family" trip we were kinda guilted into it. I am excited to go to the zoo and REALLY looking forward to the Ben Franklin institute though, so I wont complain too much, lol. Also taking the kids to Sesame Street while everyone else does Dorney Park. They are excited, me not so much, hundreds of other peoples screaming whining brats is just my idea of a nice relaxing vacation.

lol tara.No hershey park? Maybe it's far from there

Nah, my kids are little and LOVE Elmo, I can only handle one amusement park at a time, lol.
