We bought some tickets for a NYC Christmas trip bus trip. The bus picked us up in Concord, NH at 6am and brought dropped us off at Rockefeller Center in NYC. We would meet the bus in Times Square at 8pm. Steph, Kristen, Ayvree, my Mom and Aunt Corey had the whole day to explore.
The bus trip was a bit long. It took 5 hours. There was one break at a rest area on the way down. When we arrived at Rockefeller Center the temps were very cold and the streets were very crowded.
We made our way through Rockefeller Center, and it was shoulder to shoulder with people looking at all the Christmas decorations.
From there we went across the street to St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Beautiful church and I usually stop in there when I’m in that area. From here are group split and my sister and Ayvree went on to Time Square to find some Broadway show tickets. We already had tickets to the Rocketts later that afternoon.
So, the four of us walked up Fifth Avenue to check out some of the Christmas window displays. There were a lot of amazing displays. Louis Vitton covered their whole building and made it look like luggage. So over the top.
We made it to Central Park and decided to take a pedicab. They were expensive and we needed two of them. But after a bit of haggling over price, we were off.
The ride lasted about an hour. Our drivers were awesome. Showing us all kinds of movie sites, fountains, the Ghost Busters building, the Friends fountain, Strawberry fields and John Lennons apartment and so much more.
They were also really good about taking pictures of us as a group near all the attractions.
The ride lasted about an hour then they dropped us off at 5th Ave where we got on. We had enough time to grab a bite and walk back down to Radio City Music Hall for the Rocketts.
This was my first time in Radio City. It is a beautiful music hall. The show itself was nothing less than amazing. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen. It was a total emersion show. I was not expecting that.
Right before we went into the show my aunt lost her wallet. We looked all over but did not see it anywhere. After the show we went to the lost and found and someone had turned it in. Faith in humanity restored.
After the show we met up with my sister and niece again. We walked around and made our way to Times Square. There were even more people out now. It was packed. Lights were flashing and people everywhere. After a bit of sight-seeing we walked to meet our bus. At this point we were all tired and cold and glad to be back at the bus.
The ride home went smooth. It was again 5 hours, but we were able to sleep on the bus so that helped.
