Our first stop was the Empire state building. Here you see me looking all calm, but inside I was thinking of ways I could see the sights with out being so close to the ledge! I was able to reach through the bars that were keeping me safe to get this picture. NYC looks so cool from up here.
After we reached the safety of the ground, we headed over to time square. I couldn't believe all the people. As one who loves watching people, I was like a kid in a candy shop. After satiating my vouyeristic tendencies, we decided it was time to eat lunch. We sat down in Central Park and ate PB&J's. Tina's sandwich making skills were greatly appreciated.
After resting, we peeled ourselves of the grass to head on to the Manhattan Temple. How awesome is it that there is a Temple in Manhattan! It is right there in the middle of all the huge buildings! 
We kept moving on to see Ground Zero. What a sombre experience that was. AJ has been asking lots of questions regarding the attacks on 9/11. It was neat to once again feel the spirit of patriotism that I did shortly after the attacks.

Our final stop was the Statue of Liberty. We decided not to take the ferry ride over, but we could still see it off in the distance.
All in all it was a great day, we also included a subway ride, and hailing a taxi to our NYC experience.

Hey hon' -
Thanks SO MUCH for the post. I'm so glad you brought the camera and card reader ... VERY worth it. I LOVED IT!! Can't wait 'til you get home, but - I'm glad you're having a good time.
Tiff - go ahead and just right click on that pic ... then save it to your computer - and voila ... it's yours! What brought on the liberty lady obsession?
Lex - I canNOT believe that we didn't think about having you guys meet up out in NY!!!!! DUH!!! They ARE on a major time crunch ... since most of the trip is to pack up and move Brandon - so, they just took a one day trip to NYC (8 of those hours travel time). But - worth it - as it looks from the pics.
Love to all!
