Our Day in New York City

Christen & Jeremy in Grand Central Terminal. Woops! This is the New Haven Train Station.

We went from here to Grand Central which is the largest train station in the world according to number of platforms. The terminal covers 48 acres.

The Berggren's with the Statue of Liberty in the background. We didn't have time to take the ferry out to the statue.....fortunately, as you can see the lines were miles long.

Jim & Bonny at Battery Park.......the Statue of Liberty stands on Liberty Island in the New York Harbor in the background. It welcomes visitors, immigrants and returning Americans traveling by ship. It was a gift from France representing the friendship between the two countries established during the American Revolution. It was dedicated on October 28, 1886.

Next we walked to Ground Zero

The World Trade Center's 7 buildings were destroyed in 2001 in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The site is currently being rebuilt with 6 new skyscrapers and a memorial to casualties of the Al-Qaeda attack.

We walked down Broadway and saw the sights!

The Christmas windows, FAO Schwarz, Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, Good Morning America Window, M&M Store, Hershey Store, the famous Coke sign, etc. etc. etc!!

Trump Tower on the left............there were a few other people there with us! ( :
The weather was awesome! 50 and sunny!

Times Square with its dazzling lights and bustling energy is known for its many Broadway theatres, cinemas and supersigns. It makes NYC a city that never sleeps.

The decorations at Rockefeller Center were amazing!
