Einstein and Me

I had the most fabulous trip to New York City a few weeks ago. So, I thought I would share it with you. What made it so special for me is that my wife and niece were able to join me later in the week. It was our niece's 18th birthday, and it was tremendous for my wife and I to experience it with her. We did the whole tourist thing and had such a great time.

We rode the subway, saw Wicked, did the Top of the Rock tour and walked miles. Isn't it weird how much you walk in the City? Oh yeah, did I mention the shopping? You can find almost anything in NYC.

Surprisingly, one of the biggest highlights for us was so unexpected. I was a little reluctant to join them on this tour but decided to play along, and I glad I did. What I'm talking about is Madame Tussauds. One of my favorite people of all time is Albert Einstein. He has made such an impact that we include one of his quotes on the front of many of our planners:

"The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them." - Albert Einstein

Can you believe this picture? I was able to share a moment with the great master. What shocked me was how their eyes follow you. The wax images are so life-like you really won't believe your eyes. We have a picture of our niece with more than a dozen celebrities. The most unbelievable for me was Yao Ming. Standing beside him in front of a basketball goal made me appreciate anyone who is able to play against him and score anything.

If you ever get a chance, don't miss the going to New York City and especially don't miss Madame Tussauds right in the heart of Times Square.
