2010 in Review - New York City here we come!

We ventured to NYC for Spring Break and a memorable time.  It was the first trip to NYC for everyone but Mark.  We saw all the main tourist attractions - Statue of Liberty, Times, Square, the "Naked Cowboy" (took us by surprise!), Ground Zero, Madame Tusseau's Wax Museum, Central Park, Museum of Natural History, Rockefeller Plaza, and lots of shopping., restaruants and walking. 

Here we are with the famous Easter Island statue from Night at the Museum movie (highly recommend seeing both of the movies, but #1 is our favorite)

 Times Square at night - never ceases to amaze us how busy the city streets are at anytime of the day!

We didn't actually make it to the island, but we took a ferry around the Statue of Liberty.  Being Spring Break, the wait was 4 hours to get to the island and then you had to wait to get back just about as long.  We were pressed for time, and the ferry tour was amazing!

Ground Zero - it is hard to image that there were two sky scrappers in this spot.  We tried to imagine what it would have been like to be there on 9/11 - a much different view today.
