New York was amazing!

Let me explain all these great pics.  I took just over 400 on the 5 day trip.  Yup, I'm a photo hound.  :)

Our first view of the New York City skyline. Incredible!

Meg and Alexa seeing each other for the first time since September!!!!!  Happy Day!

Steel Girder from the Twin Towers.  Very moving visitor center.  Left there with tears in my eyes.

A few flowers were placed by names at the Sept 11 Memorial.  Also very moving.  Our Choir sang the National Anthem and one other patriotic song.  Very moving and appropriate.  Several visitors thanked the choir for singing and paying honor to those who we should remember.

Times Square . . . fun, amazing and zany.  Lots and Lots of people.  Some were questionable.  Naked Cowboy - Yes, Naked Cowgirl - No.  They each had bottoms on - neither had tops and the Cowgirl was over 60.  Yup, not a pleasant sight.

Here the 3 of us are at a castle in Central Park.  Cool place.  Right there you couldn't here any city noises.  Pretty impressive for a city of over 1.6 million!

Chrysler building - If you have watched the Sorcerer's Apprentice with Nicholas Cage - those are the metal birds that they fly in the movie.  These don't really fly, but it was fun to see them glisten in the sun.

The 12+million $ clock in Grand Central Station.  Incredible place.

Brooklyn Bridge at sunset.  Pretty fun to watch the sunset behind the Manhattan Skyline.

Statue of Liberty.  Took this picture while on our dinner cruise.  Very nice way to end the day.

Near the end of our cruise, it was fun to watch all the lights come on in the city. 

Steve, our tour guide for New York.  Very fun and entertaining.

Megan singing a solo part for their concert on Madison Ave in the atrium of one of the Trump buildings.  You Rock, Girl!!!!

Meg and Alexa posing in Rockefeller Square. 

Meg and Evy finishing up shopping on Fifth Avenue!!!!

Yes, we did shop at Tiffany's & Co.  Nice jewelry that I will never be able to afford, but it was immensely fun looking.  I wouldn't have any place to wear that fancy stuff anyway.   :)

Meg and Alexa just before we walked to see the Phantom of the Opera on Broadway.

Awesome evening!  

Love ya and happy travels this summer!
