You can't go to the Statue of Liberty without going to Ellis Island (You already paid for the ferry ride). By this time in the trip, we were exhausted by long lines and huge crowds, but the kids were still fascinated by small models of old villages while Aukai and I gawked at 100 year-old portraits of immigrants.

FAO Shwartz:
OK, so there are two awesome toy stores in New York, and while Toys
'R Us does tote a ferris wheel (yes, inside the store), you can't beat the charm of FAO Schwartz (now also owned by Toys 'R Us). It has some of that local toy store feel . . . wrapped into a 2-story, gigantic floor plan.
You know it is our kids because they are crossing the red tape to poke each other with the dragon's tale.
Our favorite part was this giant piano from the movie "Big."
When we got to Batman action figures, Ashton said "Mommy, this is Batman." Then pointing to the Joker he said, ". . . and this guy is Batman's mommy." I'm not sure how I feel about that.
