Christmas with the Rockettes, Rockefeller Square and No Hugh Jackman Wednesday the 23 of November

The local library on the way to Rockefeller Square!  

The world famous Christmas tree all decorated.  The workers were in the process of taking the scaffolding off the tree.  Would have been something to see to watch the tree lighting! That came after we left. 

My favorite part of seeing the tree were the angels that lined the path to the tree. 

There was talk about ice skating before we left for NYC.  I told Keri I could take pictures of them skating.  No ice skating for me.  Against doctor's orders after back surgery.  Then Katie chimed in and said she couldn't skate because of her ALC surgery.  Turns out Keri didn't want to ice skate either, so we watched.  

Next stop was Radio City Music Hall to see the Rockettes Christmas program.  It was nothing like I imagined it would be.  

We weren't quite sure what to do with these things.  Take a picture and tag Rockettes Christmas Spectacular or something like that.  We just did our own thing. 

I had no idea how fabulous the Radio City Music Hall was. 

The Radio City Music Hall is a huge dome inside and we needed our 3D glasses at the start.  We watched Santa and his reindeer fly in with our glasses.  Kristin joined in! 

Different things were projected on the dome.  This felt like we were in a snow globe. 

No pictures during the show but it was fabulous.  Singing, dancing, acting! So much more than I expected.  

It ended with a manger scene with live animals.  Camels, yes, camels and sheep.  It was a really great way to end the show.  After all Jesus is the reason for the season. 

More out of order pictures!

Kristin on a stick hung out at the library. 

Rockefeller Square again.

The Rockettes again!

Hugh Jackman was performing in NYC.  Keri and Katie wanted to hang out after Hugh Jackman's show the night before to see him as he came out to leave.  He didn't perform because he was sick.  So after the Rockettes we tried again.  Some nice people that were waiting for actors to come out after the show said Hugh did not perform again.

We did the next best thing.  We all took pictures of his picture.  Kristin on a stick even joined in.

Now the journey through Time Square to the subway and the final destination, our hotel. 

Mr. Policeman said he couldn't hold Kristin on a stick but taking a picture was AOK!

So many people!
