New York City

My mom and I found an amazing deal for round trip tickets to New York City.  So for my 38th birthday, we took a 38 hour trip and explored the Big Apple :) 


The 9/11 Memorial...still under construction, but very moving to see. 


My mom wanted to be a part of her favorite morning show.  It was a rainy morning, but we had a front row look at the studio and my mom got a close up shot with the weatherman.



 A fountain in one of the city parks. 


 Trying to maneuver through the New York subway system. 


Times Square...so many lights!


Great to have the opportunity to be part of such a global worship service and hear a good message from the founder's son.

A view of Lady Liberty from the Staten Island ferry.  


 Pretty views of bridges and the city skyline. 


Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge. 



Following in the tradition...couples attach personalized locks to various parts of the Brooklyn Bridge and throw the key in the river to symbolize the permanency of their love.


My mom won last minute lottery tickets to a broadway show...NEWSIES : )  What a birthday!


Trying out one of the city food carts.
