New York City

 Mike and I have both been to New York before so, we just wanted to see some things that we have missed over the years.  Mike had never been to the top of the Empire State Building so, we took the elevator ride up and is it every worth it!
 The skyline sure has changed since the last time I was in New York City back in 1999.




 We went and ate dinner and then walked around Rockefeller Plaza and visited the American Girl Doll store.  We got some treats for our 3 wonderful girl's.
 Time Square was great.  We got some gelato and sat and peopled watched.
 Next morning we went to Central Park and enjoyed the beauty of that park right in the middle of a huge city.

 We then went to he 9/11 memorial.  We were kind of disappointed with this memorial.  There were no American flags waving anywhere and everything seemed dark and depressing.  I understand this just opened so maybe over the years they will add some color and life to it.

 The new Freedom Tower.
 We were there right after September 11th and there were lots of roses on the names.
 We wanted to check out where our hard earned money goes...Wall street.
The famous Bull in the financial district.  We had a great day in New York City and definitely got our exercise for the day walking around that city!
