Hello Empire State!!

Today we went up the Empire State building. It was stunning September day and given how high we were it wasn't actually too cold (thankfully we didn't come in winter!).


Felix just loved being up so high and looking down on all those buildings.


Astrid on the other hand, could not have cared less about the view and was 'taken' by the hand held guides - her new best friend ....


... insisting on holding it for the rest of the visit!


We met a really nice security guy who was quite taken by the kiddies... as they were by him.


At which point Felix decided to learn a bit more about the view...and NYC.

Absolutely stunning!


Then of course we had some family pix ... just like all the rest of the tourists (although I think Felix was sleeping!!)!


And then we decided it was time to head downstairs ... for some lunch (and a coffee or two).


And so we left the Empire State to it's true NYC residents .... the pigeons.
