New York City w/ Kids - Kelsey’s Trip Recap Sleeping 5 in a Room, Statue of Liberty, Summit One, SIX on Broadway, Subway Rides and MORE!

I'm back from an amazing spring break in New York City with my family of 5 and I'm sharing all the details! In this episode, you’ll hear how we made the most of 4 nights and 5 days in the Big Apple (March 2025), from iconic sights like the Statue of Liberty and Summit One to navigating the subway and seeing SIX on Broadway. I break down how I planned the itinerary, found a hotel room that fit all five of us, and kept the kids engaged in one of the busiest cities in the world.
