This is just a glimpse of the rest of our trip. Scott took way more pictures on his nice camera, but it was just easier to download the ones I took with my phone. And I didn't have to stress over which ones I wanted to post out of the hundres that he took. :)
FRIDAY: We were about to hit the city for the day!
The city has done a fantastic job with the 9/11 Memorial. They made these two huge fountains/waterfalls where the two towers once stood.
Mom and I standing in front of one of the memorials.
This was the other fountain. I love the buildings in the background. I also love the trees they planted to represent new life. There was a tree that survived the attack and all of the debris that fell that is still a part of the memorial.
The names of all of those who lost their life were printed around the two fountains.
Another view of the city outside the memorial.
We went to find a restroom after the memorial and spotted a Starbuck's inside the building. Emma loved eating her cake pops!!
Then we were off to see more of NYC!
Here we are on a ferry ride that took us past The Statue of Liberty and Brooklyn Bridge. Soon after this picture, Emma fell asleep on me for the entire trip. She was so tired!
SATURDAY: Here is Andriena and Javier after their Central Park wedding.
After the wedding, Scott, Emma, and I went sightseeing some more. My mom went on a dinner cruise with the family/friends that were in town for the wedding. We went to see Yankee Stadium. Yes, Scott wore his Boston hat BUT just for the pictures. Haha!! I was a little terrified!
Then Emma tried to take his hat off. She might be a future Yankee fan!
We saw a park in the Bronx that was very close to Yankee Stadium that we took Emma to play on for a little while.
She loved this little red slide!
SUNDAY: Scott and I went to tour the NBC Studio. We saw where The Doctor's, SNL, and Late Night are all filmed.
Then we went back to Central Park to walk around and of course grab a hotdog from one of the many stands. We found a nice spot on the grass to eat them.
Emma has found her love of hotdogs while we were on this trip. She even spotted a hotdog stand one night heading back to the hotel and just had to have one! Silly girl.
Then we went to the M&M store. They had probably 15 of these huge displays where you got the type and color M&M you could ever imagine! They were giving out samples of the mint M&M which were really good. I am going to have to get some soon!
EVERY
COLOR
IMAGINABLE!!! :)
We asked Emma what color M&M she would want before we got there and she kept saying blue, so she got her blue M&Ms!!
Being silly like always!
Mom wanted to go to the Yankee store. Scott wore his hat the whole time. She likes them- he does not!!
MONDAY: Scott finally got his cab ride on the way to the airport from the hotel. There was only one scare, but one was more than enough!!
We had a BLAST on our trip!! We can check NYC off of our bucket list of places to visit!
