Trip to NYC (Days 1 +2)

Upon arriving in New York on Wednesday morning, here is how my trip went






Here is the first picture my camera took in New York, its of a fountain/waterfall combo thingy...it just looked nice


Then we went to the "Top of the Rock" (That's Rockefeller Center) That's Central Park from above...obviously.





Still on top of the building, but looking the other way, toward the Empire State Building.






Here is our hotel, well the door to it a least. A common occurrence on this trip was John holding the revolving door shut so Jen couldn't get out....funny every time!




After checking in at our hotel we took the subway to Yankee Stadium for a Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees game.





Curt Schilling warms up for the Sox, no bloody sock, I was pretty sure that meant they were going to lose...





Yep, they lost, but at least the Yankee fans were nice and respectful........oh wait.






Day 2:

The next day started with Jen going to meet a friend for lunch. With the whole city at our disposal, what do me and John do?




Go to Central Park to play catch of course!!






Here is a picture of John admiring the scenery and views that Central Park provides.






After playing catch, we took the subway to the World Trade Center (This is one of the numerous pieces of artwork around Ground Zero)






Here is some of the construction.








Here is a drawing of what is being built there now.












After the WTC site, we decided to visit the Natural History Museum.



Here is a seismic map showing all earthquakes from the past week. I'd hate to live in that sea of yellow circles!





Following the museum, Jen wanted to lounge and me and John wanted to play catch, so back to the park we go! There wasn't any scenic shots for us to admire this time.












Saw this in the park...I just found it funny for some reason.






After John's cousin Jim came in from DC, we all went to Serendipity for dinner and deserts. Here is my Frozen Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate drink...mmmmmm (Yes like the movie!)


Come back tomorrow (hopefully) for the remainder of my trip. It's late and I'm tired right now......don't judge me.

Sounds like you had a good beginning part of the trip! I'm eager to find out how the remainder of your trip went, especially with the arrival of John's cousin.

Hip, hip, Jorge!
