Fun Times in NYC


So I've neglected to tell you some of the fun stuff Holly and Gabe have been doing. Like for one thing they visited this big M&M store that I guess is just a heaven for all things M&M related. They also took a log channel boat cruise that took them around Manhattan and over to ellis island where they were able to be right on top of The Statue of Liberty. All lit up at night. Holly said it was amazing. They even had a DJ on the boat so, of course, Gabe and Holly had to do some dancing.

They also went to a shop called Serendipity. The same exact ice cream shop in the movie Serendipity. However, it's a very popular place so they had to wait around for an hour until they could be seated. So in the mean time they walked over to a candy shop called Dylan's Candy Bar. Holly said it was like walking into Willy Wonka's. They had a door man all dressed up who opened the door and greeted you with a big smile and a hello. The entire floor was actual candy varnished to the floor, even the steps to the second level. Just wall to wall candy.

They've been having blast and I can't wait to see all the photos and video

Holly and I saw this on TV the other night. Turns out Dylan's Candy bar is named for and owned by Dylan Lauren, daughter of designer Ralph Lauren.

Turns out when she was little she absolutely loved the movie Willy Wonka. So imagine that, she has a candy shop inspired by the movie
