NYC

Day 1

We drove up to New York and into the city on Saturday.  We got there mid afternoon, checked into our hotel, saw a few sights and then took the subway to the Mets game. 

Bryce got a ball at batting practice. 

This one gets ice cream in a helmet at every baseball game!

Times Square at night.

Day 2

Today was a full day of sights, walking and riding.  We started the day at Grand Central Station and took the subway to Battery Park to hop on the ferry for the Statue of Liberty. 

Pretty views of the city from the ferry. 

So cool!

We took the 195 steps up to the pedestal.  

Our next stop was Ground Zero/One World Trade Center

Next we finally sat down for a meal and then did a little shopping.  

Our last planned thing for the day was visiting the Empire State Building. 

We learned a lot about the construction of the building and the views were spectacular. 

We weren't ready to call it a day so we headed to Battery Park for snacks and a little playground time. 

Bryce wanted to see the Brooklyn Bridge and wanted to see the skyline at night so we headed toward Brooklyn (on an empty subway, wow).  

We had a delicious dinner on the pier with spectacular views of the bridge at night.  

After dinner we walked the bridge to see the skyline.  

My picture doesn't do the full moon justice.  

Such a pretty city!

Day 3

Of course we started our day at Krispy Kreme!

We didn't have any plans until the evening, so we headed to Central Park to walk around and explore.  

We found a playground and the kids played on the rocks. 

Emmy wanted to go to the Bronx Zoo so we spent the afternoon there.  It was a big zoo with lots to see!

Our final planned destination was the Yankees game.  This is stadium 16/30 in our quest to visit all of the ballparks!  

Another game, another helmet of ice cream.  

We had a really great trip.  Jason navigated the subway with ease and we were able to see all the things we wanted and more.
