I Love New York?

I think this is the only picture of the two of us in New York. So, Val surprised me with this little getaway to New York & it was awesome. We saw Wicked on Thursday night & Chicago on Friday night. We ate some awesome bagels & saw some great sites. I actually enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. In fact, I want to go back. We didn't get to see the statue of Liberty or Central Park. Someday.

Rockefeller Center. (spelling?) No ice skating today.

Radio City Music Hall.

There is my sweetie- walking towards NBC.

This picture, (I think :) is of the oldest church & the wealthiest churh today. The land that much of the city is on is owned by this church & rent is paid to the churh making it the wealthiest. Crazy, huh. Alexander Hamilton is burried in the cemetary by the church.

One of the many church buildings I took pictures of. The thing about New York that is so fascinating to me is the history that is there. New York is a place with so much history that you could take a good 2 or 3 days just touring the city & learning about some amazing history.

The United Nations.

What a humbling experience this was to walk through the museum & see the faces of so many lost on 9-11. I know I was thousands of miles away that day, but my heart was here along with millions of people all around the world. I only wish that all of these families could have the knowledge that we have as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints have about eternal life & how families can be together forever. My heart aches for those mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, wives, husbands, sons, daughters of those who lost their lives that day.

One of the windows recovered of one of the planes that hit the towers.

This is a view of the construction going on around the new memorial & tower that will be built where the twin towers were before 9-11.

This is time square at night--look at all the people. We stayed at the Millenium right in the heart of time square.

I took this one for Kenz. This is a brand of clothing & they have some cute stuff--

Madison Square Garden-- home of the New York Knicks. I thought C.J. would like this picture of the huge basketball.

This is the Macy's in New York & I must say-- heaven, wow this place is crazy big! I seriously could get lost in that store. Crazy Big!!!

Can you say Freaky? Have you ever heard of the Naked Cowboy? Well here he is & apparently he felt the need to pull my hair in this picture. He was very "full" of himself. I thought this picture would be a good end to our trip to New York.
