If you were me: NYC on a tight budget

<p>This is great!!! My Ds (13 and 15) are doing NYC for 4 days, and WashDC for 4 days over spring break…the bus between is $20 one way…We plan on doing the double decker bus thing (we have never been to NYC and want to at least see some things)</p>

<p>We decided to do the on and off bus trip, shop and hang out…in WashDC, thats when I will be “dragging” them to the memorials, Smithsonian, etc…</p>

<p>As well, we will be getting in a couple of college visits…two formal, the rest walk bys…and before you think we can’t do it, you should have seen us go through the Vatican museum, Rome and Paris. We move light. Lunch takes about 15 minutes, and we like to just walk and be part of the city…</p>
