Last week Jonathan, Danielle and I took an amazing trip to NYC. We boarded a red eye flight Wednesday night from Reno and arrived in NYC 6am Thursday morning. We wasted no time, as we went straight to the subway and were in the city by 8am. After a quick bag drop in the hotel we hit the streets full speed. We squeezed in everything that we could. Short of falling asleep on the subway, I think we got our moneys worth. Some of the sites we were able to see were the Statue of Liberty, World Trade Center, Wall Street, Empire State Building (from top at night), 30 Rock (from top during day), Central Park, Times Square, and so much more. We also went to the Letterman show and a Broadway show called Million Dollar Quartet. It was interesting to experience such a big city lifestyle. One of the coolest things from a family historical point was looking up the ship manifest that our great-grandfather came over from Holland on in 1920 when we were on Ellis Island. It was amazing to see how all the immigrants in the late 1800s and early 1900s were welcomed to America. Although we wish we had more time, we were able to see most of the sites and look forward to a time when we can experience more of what New York has to offer.
