Tuesday May 22 (add pictures)

It's late, so here is the play by play of today :)
Got up and ran and had breakfast and then got ready.
We caught the bus to THE MET.
Got there about 11, and stayed for well over 4 hours....
So much to see!!!!!
It was amazing!
We ate lunch there, and then went and saw the second MET Breuer museum, which was much smaller.
They had a cool exhibit of how the human body has been portrayed over the years.
Some really cool stuff....also some strange stuff.
Some guy froze 10 pints of his own blood, then he carved a self portrait out of it.....it was encased in a refrigerated case.
And then walked to Central park to look for the Alice in Wonderland statue and also the Hans Christian Anderson statue.
We walked around to find the Bethesda Terrace, a cool fountain.
It was a pretty rainy day!
We wound our way through the park and found the Subway to take back to where we would see Hamilton!!!!
The show was amazing!!!!!!!
And even more fun, we went to the door after the show and we waited for actors to come out.
Thayne Jasperson, who I went to High school with, was in the show......
Brent knew him too, his family lived in Wyoming before moving to Utah.
Anyway, he came out and we talked to him and got pictures.
Em told him that she listened to a podcast he was on, and she really appreciated when he talked about his faith.
Pretty cool.
Then a few more actors came out and we got autographs.
And finally the guy who played Hamilton came out.
He was so amazing!
And Emmy was a total fan girl!!!!!!
She told the actor that the way he played the role made her forgive Hamilton for what he did to Eliza.
And then he totally started having a conversation with Emily about how he prepares for the role and how he chooses to portray him.
It was so cool.....Em couldn't believe she was having this conversation with him :)
So cool!
Then we headed home.
I called and video chatted with the little ones so they could see the downtown lights.
Now I gotta get to bed!
