New York City - Part 3

DAY 5

We did some shopping and only tried on the finest accessories!


We got to see Wicked and we had THE best seats in the house. The play was awesome. The actors and actresses were so good and the props and special effects were amazing!


DAY 6

We saw the Statue of Liberty.

Look how big the bolts are in the statue!


Seeing Lady Liberty made me so proud to be an American and have the freedom we have today.

On a side note, the man who built the inside supporting structure for the statue is the same made who built the Eiffel Tower.


And we went to Ellis Island.

This is called the Registry Room and has been restored to what it looked like when my ancestors came over. It was so cool to be able to stand in that same spot my great and great great grandparents stood in about 90 years ago. I am so thankful they made the tough and long journey to America!


Wall Street


And of course if you go to Wall Street, you have to see the bull although it isn't located on Wall Street anymore.


DAY 7

We saw the Empire State Building.




Had the most delicious cupcakes at Crumbs bakery.


Soup dumplings again for lunch and this time we were professionals at eating them correctly.


We had a delicious dinner at Mexicana Mama's in the Village and wore some of our new atire!

DAY 8

It was Rita's birthday and she chose Cafe Reggio for breakfast. Very European in both decoration and ambiance.

And for a walk at Washington Square.
