NEW YORK Day 2

Alright! After a first amazing day, we were all ready to go and experience more of the Big Apple. We found out that our bus tour took us straight to Battery Park, the place were the ferry's leave for Liberty and Ellis Islands. We got to see lots of cool things such as the Post Office, Macy's Store, the Flat Iron Building, and my first glimpse of the Empire State building.




Here we are on the bus. After spending an hour getting her hair ready, the wind and humidity left it slightly less... done. The windblown look really suits you mom!!


Here is one of the ferry's that transports people to Liberty and Ellis Islands.


Here is our the Statue of Liberty. It looked really cool up close like that.




Oh yeah, I can hold up the Statue of Liberty. I know you are all jealous of my skills.


Here's Grandma, just chillin'.



I am proud to say that I took this of Lady Liberty and me. It's one of my favorites.


The skyline was beautiful! It was really cool to see it from the island.



Here's a cool ship we saw by Liberty Island. It looked really cool!


Next we headed over to Ellis Island. It was a really cool museum and was really touching.







After heading back to Manhattan, we cruised over to the World Financial Center, where we got some delicious lobster rolls. They were really yummy and I wish I would have taken a picture.

After that, it started pouring rain. We were told about this little museum to honor those who died during 9/11. It was really touching. There were artifacts liked fireman helmets, quotes from people who died, and there was a picture of everyone who had died, along with there names. After that, there was a room of tiles kids made to honor those who died. It was really touching.


After the musuem, we headed over to St. Patrick's Cathedral. Luckily, the rain had stopped so we walked around it.


After that, we headed over to wall street. It was really cool to see.


We also saw Chinatown. It was cool to see everything written in Chinese.

After an amazing day, we were ready for an epic night. We decided to go to Times Square! It looked really cool. After that, we decided to do Top of the Rock.


This is the view from Rockafeller Center. The big dark spot in the middle of the picture is Central Park.


We headed over to the other side to see the Empire State building!!


The next pictures are a little blurry, but it was a super cool view!



Top of the Rock was a great way to end the day!! It was so much fun to be there! I can't wait to share my final day with you!! It really was an amazing trip!
