Whirlwind! - Part 1

Just returned from a weekend trip to the New York/New Jersey area - the purpose of the jaunt was to see our nephew, Sean, in his high school play "Noises Off" (a play within a play - the title refers to the British equivalent of "Quiet on the set", a phrase used by stage & film directors.) We both love live theater & concerts and several times during the show, I had to remind myself that I was watching high school kids, they were doing so well - so well that we went back the 2nd night of the run.

Ready to board the train into NYC on Day 2 of our "Whirlwind".

At the Madison Square Garden Theatre where we saw a performance of Cirque du Soleil's "Wintuck" - compared to the company's other productions, this one was so-so.

Great for the kids.

A view of our schnozes at the Empire State building.

At the semi-famous Angels Fountain @ Rockefeller Center

The Christmas tree was being decorated and was surrounded by scaffolding.
