Tuesday in NYC

 On Tuesday, we rode the Subway to the Statue of Liberty, Staton Island, and Ellis Island.
We had crown access tickets to climb up inside the crown.

Do I look like the statue of Liberty?

They all 3 dressed alike today!







Later, we went to the 911 Memorial and Museum. It was an amazing experience.
We sat in on a presentation with 2 survivors from 9/11. One was a Firefighter.












They met a friend!

Monday in NYC

On Monday morning, we had reservations for the Today Show. We arrived at 6:30 on the plaza. It was pretty uneventful but a fun experience. We met two ladies from the west side of Evansville. Such a small world!









After the today show, we walked around Rockefeller center, and then we went on our tour of NBC studios. It was really cool! We got to sit and stare at the Saturday Night Live Studios. It was really neat! No pictures aloud.


Lego Store


After Rockefeller Center, we went to the Top of the Rock observation deck!




 We went on a bus tour called "THE TOUR" which was a floor and ceiling glassed in tour bus with stadium seating. They gave us a great tour of Manhattan and a great history.








We ate lunch at a great salad bar in the Rock Building and went back to the hotel for a 3 hour night nap!  Then we went out again and toured the St. Patrick's Cathedral, went to the lego store, and ate dinner at a hot dog stand. We then went to The Empire State Building for a night time peak.
It was gorgeous.
