It was early and it was Sunday so there weren't any stores open once we got off our carriage ride. We decided to head to Rockefeller Center. On our way there, walking down Madison Ave., we passed St. Patrick's Cathedral. The church first opened in 1879 and is open for visitors, so we went in during mass. I'd have to say its probably the most beautiful church I've ever seen. When we were there it was the 39th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision granting abortion on demand in our society, so that seemed to be the focus of their preachings.
We then went to Rockefeller Center where we spent some time in a gift shop and discussed the idea of going ice skating. We were beginning to get limited on our time so we decided not to but did go and check out out ice rink.
Also in Rockefeller center we went to the NBC Studios. We were going to take a tour of the studio, but the wait was too long and the tour was too long for what time we had left. We decided to go back near our Hotel and check out Madame Tussauds Wax Museum.
We stopped to take a photo at one of the cheesy touristy photo ops in the museum:
There are wax museums in other parts of the World and from what I could gather the molds rotate between all of the museums. In the wax museum you will find A-list celebrities, sports legends, political heavyweights and historical icons, reliving times, events and moments that made the world talk about them. Supposedly each wax figure is of true size to its person.
John Wayne:
Jackie Kennedy Onassis
The Beatles
George Clooney
A glimpse into the future? ;)
I think this one was Scott's favorite. Donald Trump, and he could pretend to ring the stock market bell.
We concluded our trip by visiting the Casino/Racetrack in Queens! So much fun! And as Grace loves to say, "Where we go next?"
