New York City Vacation, Day 6

Today was our final day in New York City. We visited the American Museum of Natural History in the morning and then walked through some of Central Park.

Then we headed to the airport to fly from Newark, NJ, to Bismarck, ND. Saying goodbye to our daughters wasn't so hard this time because we'll see them all again within the next few months--so instead of embracing and sobbing for several minutes, like we usually do, we hugged and thanked them for a great vacation but then said, "See you soon!"

We have walked so much--down the sidewalks, across the streets, up and down the steps of the subway stations, through the museums, etc.--that our legs and backs are in pain, and we are exhausted. To quote American writer Elbert Hubbard, "No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one." 🤣

A couple photos from Central Park. It was slightly overcast and cool outside, so it was good weather for a stroll through the park.

Susan and I took a bus to the airport. Hillary and Suzanna had a driver arranged to pick them up for their own flight a few hours later, so they "saw us off," waving to us from the sidewalk outside our hotel.

Abigail had to be at the hospital for clinicals today, so here is a photo of her from the other night. Mostly Abigail traveled from her place in Brooklyn to our hotel in Manhattan every day to join us in our adventures. However, Sunday night she had a sleepover with Mom and Dad in our hotel room! Here's the requisite hotel room mirror selfie.
