New York, New York!

So this is posted a little late, but better late than never I guess. While I was in Philadelphia I had opportunities to do tons of fun stuff! Since New York is only a couple hours away we were able to go there a couple times. It is like a whole different world over there!

At the financial district in NYC looking across the Hudson at Jersey

See the tiny Statue of Liberty behind us. . .

Looking out over the construction at ground zero from the World Financial Building

This statue ot the world originally stood in front of the World Trade Center. After 9/11 it was miraculously still standing in this condition. It was moved to Battery Park as memorial of that event.

We never actually went to Empire State Building, but we accidently saw it once (here) while trying to find our way somewhere else.

Of course no New York trip would be complete without Times Square. Not gonna lie it was a little overwhelming! And everything so soo tall.


Hanging out in Central Park

We had fun riding the nasty subway. . .and even had a little entertainment in the meantime

I dont have a picture but we also were able to walk down Canal Street. That is where they sell all the knock off stuff. It was definitly a different experience. After being taken through a secret door in the back of a store, through a back room and hallway, down a set a stairs, and going in the "second door on the right". The idea of buying a purse became a little less appealing and a little more like I was comitting some hanis crime.

And a midst all the CRAZINESS of this city it was amazing to find some peace and Celestial Beauty. . . The Manhattan Temple
