NEW YORK CITY

WOW! What an amazing 2 days. I think Em really enjoyed it. I know I did. We were exhausted though. Lots of walking, walking, walking! Here are some highlights....rode the train from NJ to New York Penn Station. It is underneath Madison Square Garden. We then walked many blocks to our hotel. It was a great hotel in the middle of China Town. We took the subway to Time Square and got on our bus tour. It was good, but our tour guide was ANNOYING to say the least. His voice was like fingernails on a chalk board. We ate ate at a three story McDonalds in Time square and then wandered around a while before heading back to our hotel. Then we had New York pizza at a place in Little Italy. It was yummy. Then of course we had to have some Gelato too. I bought some cherries at a stand on the sidewalk from a chinese lady. They were weird looking but good. We slept like rocks and then headed out early in the morning to catch all the places we saw the day before. We went to Ground Zero, the Empire State Building, Battery Park, the Statue of Liberty, Museum of Natural History, and had a hotdog in Central Park. Then we saw Mary Poppins on Broadway. It was spectacular. Oh My Goodness. It was amazing. Loved it. Rode the subway and another train and drove for 3 hours and fell into bed at home. So Great. Happy Birthday Em.
