Coxes in NYC Dec. 27, 2007 - Jan 1, 2008

Just after Christmas this year, our family went to NYC for 5 days. We had a wonderful time. We saw 3 Broadway shows..."Mary Poppins," "Curtains," and "Young Frankenstein." The very first evening we saw the "Rocketts' Christmas Show" at Radio City Music Hall. Wow! We shopped Canal Street (Jordan and I had a bit of excitement there, right Matthew, Benjamin, and Irby?) as well as many the Upper East Side stores and SoHo. We visited the NYC Fire Dept Museum, which was really awesome. The Metropolitan Museum was enjoyed as well. We braved a 5 hour wait and the cold on New Year's Eve to see the ball drop in Times Square! The ball is disappointingly small, but the crowd was fun and actually pretty well-behaved! A young couple we had visited with the entire evening got engaged at the stroke of midnight...another reason to celebrate!

The Rocketts Christmas Show at Radio Center

Music Hall - the first number requires 3-D glasses!

The show was amazing! This bus drove onstage

with the Rocketts on board, rotated on a circular

platform while showing scenes of NYC, then

drove off stage at the end of the number.

introduction to "Friends" during its 10 year run.

Serendipity - you haven't lived until you've had

dessert here! The wait is long (3 hours) unless

you have reservations, but worth it! If you've

seen the movie "Serendipity" with John Cusack

and Kate Beckinsale, you've seen this place.
