wow was I tired from yesterday! We got up early again this morning. After eating the continental breakfast we got on the bus and rode over to the city again. We walked by Madison Square Gardens and I took a picture. we walked over to the Empire State Building. We had to stand in line. Once we got up to the top we went on the NY Skyride first. It was a virtual ride from the sky over the city showing us all the main points about the city. Then we rode the elevator on up to the 86th floor and walked around the observatory. Most of my pictures today was from the top of the Empire State Bldg. We walked down the stairs back to the 80th floor. On the last set of stairs, Drew fell down the stairs. He is fine, but his elbow was bleeding a little bit and he hurt the heel of his left foot. But was a trooper he was! He got right up and he walked the rest of the day (that happened around 11:00!) and never once complained that it was hurting! I got to walk by the Flat Iron Building which is probably my favorite building here in NY. It was bueatiful.
After that we rode the subway, which is very clean and looks just like MARTA, to The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. It was amazing!! After that we walked over to Ground Zero and saw the construction and clean up where the Twin Towers once stood. there we saw the fire station across the street. There were memorials there and at the corner. In the firehouse there was signs that had melted from the attack. it was very moving. And the firefighters we standing outside and talking to the passersby! It was moving!! We rode the subway back to Times Square and ate at the McDonald's there. It was so glitzy inside the McDonalds! After that Drew and Ashley got caricatures of them both. They are adorable! We didn't tell the man anything and he drew Ashley with a mic singing and Drew with a baseball bat swinging! It was so cool!!! Enough for today....i am exhausted! And there is so much more to see tomorrow!!!!!
