I do believe that I am packed, just waiting for dh to get home. I've done all of a.m. routine and I washed our towels and they are now in the dryer. I left towels out for dd, who will use our bedroom to be close to dMuffin. I have checked off everything on my packing list and my to do list for this a.m. Plants are watered. The sheets that were washed yesterday are folded for dcleaning lady on Friday.
LadyM, some NYC sites and thoughts:
-Statue of Liberty - you have to take a boat ride, which ds would also enjoy
https://www.nps.gov/stli/index.htm-Ellis Island can be done at the same time as the Statue of Liberty, as the boat makes a loop around. Of the two, I'd do the statue if you only have time for one.
-The lions at the NYC library for a photo op:

-American Museum of Natural History - it is truly amazing. It was the site for the movie "Night at the Museum" too. It can be exhausting!
https://www.amnh.org/-I enjoyed the tenement museum but if you're going I would plan ahead and make a reservation. We got there early the day we went and it was mostly sold out.
-If you're interested in art the Metropolitan Museum of art is the one to see
-of course a walk in Central Park is free!
RR is right about the overstimulation too...very busy, noisy. I get tired of dodging people on the sidewalks...
