The City

New York, Baby! We had the opportunity to head into the city for the day. It was a fabulous day! Fabulous weather! Fabulous company! Fabulously behaved girlie!!!! We went to the Financial District, which is on the south side of the island. There's not as much stuff to see, so it was a very relaxing day. We just walked around and enjoyed the beautiful, old buildings, the water, and the park.

New York Stock Exchange (where all our money goes ;-) )



Federal Hall, where George Washington was sworn in as the first President of the United States



New York City Hall



We walked the Brooklyn Bridge! The girlie loved watching the cars pass underneath us!

Mommy not so much. She was trying to ignore exactly how old the bridge was.


The Skyline




Where the World Trade Center was located.




Since the World Trade Center is now an official construction site, there was no good way to be able to view the area. This sky-walk bridge was the best view that we found. It is still hard to believe that this all occurred.

With my Love!!!


The Fam

Being artsy in Battery Park


My Cute Boy!!

Another artsy pic


Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island
We didn't get to go over because it takes quite a bit of time, so that will definitely have to be another trip.


City Pier A
It is being remodeled for the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island ferry.


"The Sphere"
This artwork was located in the plaza of the World Trade Center.


World War II Memorial



The Wall Street Bull - the busiest spot of the day


Gramma and Papa

She was such a good girl the entire day with no nap!!!


Beautiful historic street

Let's Go Fly a Kite

One day it was windy enough to be able to break out the froggy kite! The girlie enjoyed watching it fly, and she also took the reigns and fly it herself.







The girlie found herself a stage. Three guesses as to what it is?

Weinee Roast













One evening we were able to start up the fire pit and have a good old fashioned weinee roast! The girlie love eating outside and really enjoyed her s'more!!! What a nice evening to do this! It was great to be able to sit outside most of the day every day!!!!!





Sunny PA







Knowing the girlie can do this and watching it is so amazing! She only needed a little bit of spotting, otherwise she was doing it ALL BY HERSELF!!!!



She loooooves her Papa!!


It was a nice, cool, relaxing time in PA. The girlie enjoyed being with her Gramma and Papa! (as did Mommy and Daddy) These are just the start to how much fun was had by all!!!!
