New York City

New York was the second half of our vacation. We took the train from DC which was cool because I have never been on a train. My grandparents were nice enough to give us their Marriott points and we stayed in the Marriott Marquee in Times Square. It was sooo nice!! The location was perfect too. We saw all the typical sites and went on a bus tour. We also saw Lion King on Broadway. It was amazing!! Overall we had a wonderful trip that we will never forget. THe picture to the right is ground zero. This is where the towers would have stood. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have more to see down there like a plaque or something. There are fences everywhere too so you can't see anything.




To the right is the empire State Building and to the left is Times square.

The STatue of Liberty. We just looked from afar because the line was to long for the ferry around Ellis Island.

Did Greg ever do musicals as a child. He seems to me to be the type of kid that did musicals. Let me know. This is Spencer by the way.

Those were fun pictures... It is such a good idea to do something like that before you have a baby! Why didnt you guys venture to Pocatello Idaho? We have a pretty great zoo here?!? tee hee
