New York, New York!






On Saturday, we went into the city! I was so excited, I had never really been before. We decided to have the full NY experience, trains, subways and taxi's! We took the Long Island RailRoad into the city (the train station is just a short drive from our house). That was really fun to just sit there and look out the window and see everything. The train ride is about an hour to Penn Station (which is in the city) than we got off the railroad and got on a subway. We took the subway down to the World Trade Center exit. There we saw where the WTC used to be, and then took a walk to wall street, Andre loved it! We walked down to the ferry that takes you to the Statue of Liberty. We didn't actually go out to the Statue, it is a day in and of its self but we could see it from where we were. We went to Time Square the Brooklyn Bridge, 5th Ave, Central Park and then we walked up and saw the Manhatten Temple, don't blink you'll miss it! It looks just like anyother building except it has Moroni on top of course, but right next to it is Bed Bath and Beyond! Then we took a taxi to Rockafeller Center and saw them putting up the really big Christmas tree and saw all the iceskaters!! We went into a few really old churchs and ended up at Grand Central Station, and headed home on the subway and then on the train! Andre did a really good job as our tour guide, it was a really fun day, it was cold and windy in the morning, but got better as the day went on.
