New York City ! ! ! !

Our first trip turned out to be a cloudy day - but we enjoyed the train ride down from Poughkeepsie to Grand Central Station. Then we rode a city bus down to Battery Park. After 2 security checks, we were allowed aboard the ferry that took us to Liberty Island. There she is...We walked around the base, then inside the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. It was quite a view of Manhattan from just the pedestal balcony.On our second visit to "the city". We met up with our friends from Kansas, the Hanson family. We toured Central Park, and the Natural History Museum. There are a lot of bones in that place!! Then a subway ride over to the Astor Theater for a matinee performance of the Blue Man Group. It exceeded our expectations - we were thoroughly entertained!!

After that - a trip to Times Square and then to a famous Pizza place.

If I weren't such a country girl, I'd move here. :-)

We made it to the BIG APPLE!
