The week before Christmas we welcomed Pam and Nick (Bruno's parents) to stay with us, and we made a short trip to New York city to take in the sights of the season. We travelled by train and stayed for three days in midtown (near Rockefeller Plaza). The weather was unseasonably mild and we included trips to the top of the Rockefeller Center, a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, and a visit to the "Train Show" at the New York Botanical Gardens. During the annual train show the massive hot-houses are transformed with models of New York landmarks made from twigs, bark, seeds, leaves, etc and these are then arranged with model trains to re-create the New York city landscape. If you haven't seen it we highly recommend it as a fun activity for all the family!
