New York, Day One

Day One in New York...

Transportation is a process...From our hotel, we have to take the hotel complimentary van to the airport, from where we get onto the New Jersey Transit, into the city...then get on the Subway to our destination....We got all of our tickets, ect this am...so then we were set....Our first stop was Ground Zero. It was breathtaking to see how big the area was. Very emotional, to think about. I shot a few pics of the reconstruction site....
The kids watching the construction.


Awesome picture of the building right next to the site. This picture is AWESOME!!! I am going to print this one for sure!!!



Here is a pic of me and the kids at Battery Park. That is the Statue of Liberty in the background. We really enjoyed walking around this area, and getting to see all the sights. We then got onto the Staton Island Ferry, and took the trip across the river, to see the Statue of Liberty. The boys, especially liked this part of the trip. There she is...The Statue of Liberty....Breathtaking...Wall Street was C-R-A-Z-Y!!! Today was the biggest drop in the stock market in decades. And we were right in the mess of the whole thing. There were newscasters, protestors, and people everywhere. We took lots of pics here. It is history in the making. A protestor was speaking (yelling) here...People were taking photos like crazy...unbelievable.The Trump Building...We had a great first day...but we are exhausted...so off to bed...Macey has her first interview tomorrow...Remember her in your prayers....Good Night....

Just to think...If it weren't for AMTC, we wouldn't even be here....

Your kids will never forget this trip! So much fun. I love seeing these pictures - you should enter that picture of the building next to the WTC in a photo contest!!! (bet I could have done that with the easy share too ;-)

It's true that you never see the tourist attractions near your home. You guys saw more of NYC in a couple of days than I have seen in the 3 years I've lived here (plus I spent my 4 years in college in NJ). I can only imagine how tired you must have been each night after all the walking.
