NYC--Day 5

We went to FAO Schwarz on our last day. It was a pretty neat place. Alea loved it!

A character from Davin's Halo game made out of Legos.

The piano from the movie Big. It cost $250,000!

The Statue of Liberty made out of Legos.

Another awesome Lego creation.

A Star Wars storm trooper.

She got a blue stuffed bird like in the movie RIO.

It really wasn't this big but this was the only size bags they had that day.

We stopped back by the Girl Scout National Headquarters to visit the store and look around.

They put up posters for girls to sign that visited the GSUSA headquarters. The posters were only up for 5 weeks and then they were going into the archives. The day we were there was the last day for the posters.

We meet one of the archivists and she gave us a tour of the archives and of the Girl Scout museum they have on site. She showed Alea how to move the shelves to locate items in the archives.

Listening to a replication of the call Juliette Gordon Lowe made to a friend that started the Girl Scout movement.

We got to tour and see a lot of different old uniforms.

Alea was excited to see the Junior stuff since she is no longer a Brownie and is now a Junior scout.

She was so excited! She got two patches for visiting the National Headquarters that girls can only earn by visiting the headquarters. Pretty neat!!!

Then guess what!!!?? Someone told us the CEO of Girl Scouts was in her office and said we could go meet her. When she heard us coming down the hallway she came out of her office and was so excited to meet a scout!

She was so nice and related to Alea so well. She asked Alea how long she had been in scouts and what kind of service projects she had done. She also asked what we were saving our cookie money for. We had a great visit with her. We got to hang out with her for about 10 to 15 minutes in her super cute office!
