New York, New York, What a Wonderful Town . . . ;)

Here is a cluster (or, more like a CLUMP) of pictures from our first day trip to Manhattan.

We started out with a ferry ride from Staten Island into the city - we saw the lovely Lady Liberty from the boat and the spectacular city in the distance.








We landed in Battery Park - featuring Statue of Liberty mimes


Oh yes, and a Thanksgiving turkey strutting his stuff.



Lamps at dusk





This was a statue of an eagle, dedicated to all those who had died at sea




I think that I remember this was an art museum - bordering the park

This mission was crammed next to a high skyscraper and it just made us smile -




Times Square -

we passed by where they shoot "Goodmorning America" :)


This store CAUGHT my EYE - GREAT AMERICAN CHOCOLATE COMPANY?! YUM!!!


We walked by this little church that seemed the only serene spot in the bustling city - it also had this weird 'root' sculpture that didn't seem to go with the rest of the architecture. . .hmmm



Umm . . . roots can't grow in cement. . .

Here we are on Wall Street - Haven is posing with Washington ;) I personally think my husband is better looking ;)



I loved this particular scene of Washington praying. The fact that it was such a central part of the Wall Street square really stood out to me -


And we wandered by Carnegie Hall - awww, shucks, didn't have golden tickets to get in though ;)


And, speaking on golden things, well, and diamonds . . .

Gotta take the dog for a run - more to come . . . stay tuned ;)
