Manhattan with kids: take 1

I've started compiling a list of things I want to do in Manhattan when we go there in September. Since Mike will be working during the week, I imagine my days will go a little something like this:

Wake up
Eat breakfast with kids
Dress kids
Play with kids
Put Thomas down for a nap
Wash dishes / shower / check email / blog / surf Internet
Make picnic lunch / pack diaper bag for outing
Leave house after T gets up
Explore!
Have lunch at a park
Explore!
Shop for dinner stuffs
Arrive back at apartment
Relax / cook dinner
Mike arrives home from work
Eat dinner
Play with kids
Kids' bathtime
Kids' bedtime
Adult relaxation time
Go to sleep

It's possible that Grammie Martha will visit us for a few days and Mike and I will be able to take advantage of her babysitting to go out at night. Woo hoo!

Here are some of the places I want to Explore! with the kids:
