Summer 2008 In The Big Apple Trip

We recently had a short end of summer trip to The Big Apple - New York City. On our way up to NYC the pilot let Justin and Myles sit in the cockpit -- very cool.

Our first day we visited the Museum of Natural History. As you can see from the various exhibits the boys enjoyed themselves. We also made a quick tour of the Central Park Zoo -- it was small but nice, since this a first for Karen and myself went.

We then went high atop the Empire State Building where we got a birds-eye view of the city at Night. The next day we were fortunate to get awesome seats The Lion King (7 rows from the orchestra pit); we could see the sweat on the performers foreheads. The same morning we went to wave to Grandma on the Today Show -- she was able to see me and Myles.

On our last day we took a short trip over to see Lady Liberty -- this was a first for Karen and I as well. The boy liked the Statue of Liberty but spent most of the time chasing after seagulls. As you can see the werent too luck; Myles bit the dust : )

Overall we had a very great time; the room was spacious for NYC ,the subway was hot and smelly, and the pizza greasy as ever. We were happy to make it back to our Southern paradise -- Cheers
