New York City Part Two

On our second day in NYC we went sight seeing. We saw Wall Street, the Empire State Building, Ground Zero and of course the Statue of Liberty. It was so fun to see every thing, I was in awe of all the HUGE buildings EVERYWHERE.

Our first stop was the Empire State Building.
View from the bottom and top of the Empire State Building.

It was so cool looking down at the city, it looked like it went on forever.

Such an awesome view.

After the Empire State Building we went to Ground Zero.

This is the new World Trade Center they are building, The Freedom Tower or One World Trade Center. It is going to be 1,776 feet tall, the same as the year of the nations declaration of independence.


After Ground Zero, we took a boat over to the Statue of Liberty.





In the bottom left corner is the Liberty Motorcycle made out of copper. Pretty cool.

We were FREEZING on the tour bus it was supposedly 61 degrees that day but it felt more like 40 degrees. There was a stand right next to our bus stop that was selling I Heart NY sweatshirts so Conrad hopped off the bus and bought us some because we couldn't take being cold any longer.


This is our we are freezing! faces.

  They were conveniently selling sweatshirts right behind us.

Conrad doing what he does best, getting people to lower their prices.


Green was the only color they had in his size. This is his I am still cold and I hate green face. He is all ready for St. Patties Day!



We drove past this church on our tour. It was in the movie "National Treasure."

While we were going through China Town, our tour guide pointed out Katz's Deli. He said it was the oldest Deli in New York and that it was really good. He also told us there was a scene that was shot at Katz's in the movie "When Harry met Sally." I've never seen that movie but we decided to try it out.

It was the most expensive sandwich we have ever eaten but it was also the BEST sandwich we have ever had. It was really good!
MMMM... Delicious!

And still more pictures to come.
