NYC

I am going to do 2 posts about our weekend in New York because I took tons of pictures, and I have two separate things to talk about. We went to NY just for the weekend, we didn’t sleep much because we were trying to see everything. We went to the “Top of the Rock” with our fabulous EC friends Joe and Nelly. They came in from CT to see us and show us some sights. The tour takes you up to the top of the Rockefeller Center in this great elevator with a glass top. You can watch the lights in the elevator shaft as you get closer to the top. When you get to the top you can go outside on the roof and look out at the city. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn’t have time to wait in line at the Empire State Building. The view from the top is just amazing. We also went to ground zero and saw the construction. It was very humbling to see. We also walked by the fire station that is literally across the street, they have a memorial on the wall that is beautiful. After that we went to Lombardi’s for some NY pizza, is was so good, I had 2 pieces. The night before we left we went to Times Square. It is so amazing, I love love love the city lights. There are also some pictures of us on the subway. We took it everywhere, and I love public transit. Brig and I got pretty good at getting around underground, but we used our map quite a bit. We picked up McKenzie form her camp on Saturday and it was so great to see her again. Hannah and I missed her so much. Hannah and Nama were at the airport when we got in and Hannah wouldn’t go to John because she wanted to stay with Kenzie.
