After looking around the downtown area, we headed back toward our hotel stopping to shop here and there as we found something interesting with a few particular destinations in mind.  One of the places on our shopping list was the NBA store which we were able to find fairly easily.

Above Tater is standing by a statue of Kevin Garnet of the Boston Celtics whom the boys hope to see at the Celtics/Cavaliers game in Boston which we are going to on Feb 25th (yes I know my posting dates are off…just pretend it’s still last week) even though OUR team is the Cavaliers as you can probably tell by the photo of Josh at the top of this entry.

Above Josh is standing by the statue of LeBron James who he’s hoping to see at the same game mentioned above.   The NBA store has a wall with handprints of some of the famous NBA players including Shaq which the girls have their hands up against for comparison.

The store also had lifesize portraits which you could stand up next to for a height comparison.

Josh isn’t usually one to want to do much shopping, but he definitely wanted to take his time looking around here which meant the rest of us had to find things to do to occupy ourselves while we patiently waited for him.  He ended up spending some of his money on a Lebron James jersey and Nathan bought some pencils and a ruler.

Amanda wandered off to look at the shoes (LOL)!

I can't believe how big BOTH of your boys are. If you hadn't identified that first photo of Josh, I would have wondered exactly who you were taking pics of. (I didn't recognize him in that beanie!)

THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING

What is a trip to NYC without a view from it’s tallest building?  The 102-story Empire State Building was the largest building in NYC for more than forty years until the World Trade Center’s north tower claimed that honor upon its completion in 1972.  After the towers’ destruction in 2001, the Empire State …
