New York

I went to New York during the summer of 2008. It was a dream come true. My friend Tara and I flew down and spent 10 luxurious days doing whatever pleased us. She went to 3 – 5 Broadway shows a day, and I wandered around Manhatten pretending I was a local.

The highlights of this trip included walking around Times Square, seeing the city from the top of the Empire State Building, seeing Avenue Q on Broadway, getting in trouble at the Metropolitan Museum, standing next to Dum Dum at the American Museum of Natural History, the cruise we took around Manhattan, being in the audience for a tv show, and getting completely lost in Central Park.

First sighting of the island of Manhattan

I’m in New York, riding in a cab, I’m so overwhelmed with everything going on around me!

Manhattan at night

At the top of the Empire State Building

The height and compactness of this city was something I’d never seen before

We took the Staten Island Ferry to catch a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty

Legally Blonde on Broadway. I also saw Avenue Q and Grease.

A beautiful cathedral that I saw on my bus tour. Can’t recall it’s name, but it was so pretty I had to take a picture.

Carnegie Hall!!

View from the top of the rock.

This shirt has a funny story. We went down to the pier to see a sailing ship. I ate something that, surprise surprise, ended up on my white shirt. So I had to buy a new shirt. So I didn’t look slovenly.

Central Park.

Brooklyn Bridge

Fountain in Central Park

Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art…where I got in trouble for standing on a bench to see Central Park.

Lots of Statues of Liberty all over the island.

That time I went to Julliard.

Coney Island.

I asked this man what he was doing, and he showed me how to crab.

Jackson Pollock. I got in trouble for looking too closely at this – they thought I was touching it.

MoMa

Central Park again. Any free time I had, I ended up here. I desperately wanted to see the castle, but never could find it.

We went on a horse and carriage ride of Central Park.

Lady Liberty

The Regis and Kelly Show!!
