Our New York Trip - March 2012

Phil's Mother and Step Dad took us on a trip to New York to celebrate Phil's retirement from HAFB and our 18th anniversary.  We had a wonderful time and we are very grateful for their generosity.

 We visited the 911 Memorial

 All the names of the people killed were engraved around these water falls

 Dottie and Jim at the Memorial

 It was nice to see that a couple of places were named after our family members.  McFadden's and Madison

 The Toys R Us Store was pretty awesome.  It even had an indoor farris wheel

 We had dinner at Hard Rock Cafe.  Wonderful food and entertainment!

 We all went to a Broadway Musical called "Jersey Boys"  It was excellent!

 We took a two hour bus tour all around the city of Manhatten which showed us all highlights of New York

 It started sprinkeling a little and Jim needed a little help getting his rain covering on.

 They had some beautiful parks in the city

 We visited Grand Central Terminal

 There were taxi cabs everywhere!  That's how we got around when it was to far to walk.

 We spent an afternoon in Central Park.  It was very busy and lot's of people

 This is where they film Good Morning America.  I listen to this every morningwhile I get ready for work.

 More of Time Square

 Empire State Building

 We stayed at the Helmsey Hotel.  It was very nice and we had a wonderful breakfast there every morning.

 Cemetary right in the middle of the city

 Dottie was very anxious to have one the their famous New York Hot Dogs!

 And of course we could not go home without trying their awesome New York Cheesecake.  Yummmmm!

 It was so good that we even brought some home with us.
