New York City!!!

Lady Liberty!! She is so cool! I think this was my favorite thing in New York!
Crazy statue man. It was pretty funny :)
Peyton was doing handstands all over the place. There was a bunch of kids from a school asking her to do them over and over. She loved it!
I took a ton of pictures of the flag but I think this one is my favorite. It is one the grounds of the Statue of Liberty
Ok I had to put this pic on. We are sitting there looking out towards the Manhattan skyline and it is just beautiful, and then you look over and see this!!
Like I said she was doing handstands everywhere. That is the Manhattan skyline behind her.
This is the actual size of Lady Liberty's face. It's huge!

Ok this is ground zero. You can 't see much cuz they are doing construction. So this picture is taken from an observatory window.
Another pic of ground zero


Ellis Island
Inside Ellis Island. This is where they unloaded all of there luggage and waited for there medical check.
New York Fire Department Ladder Company 10. The are right across the street from where the Twin Towers were.
They lost 6 men in 9/11. This is a memorial to those men.
This is part of a huge bronze plaque on the side of Ladder Company 10. It was such a weird feeling being there. This plaque was really cool. I wish I would have been able to get the whole thing.



Peyton and I waiting for the subway. We finally figured out how to use it the day we were leaving :)
An awesome Horse Policeman
This was way cool. It is the sphere that was in front of the World Trade Center. On the other side there is a huge hole. The whole top was blown out.
The bull on Wall Street. It's the bull on Hitch!
Manhattan and Brooklyn Skyline




Central Park. Peyton and I had fun here going and seeing all the sights where they have filmed movies!
More handstands in Central Park
Ok Peyton and I absolutely loved this diner. It is called Stardust. All of the waitresses and waiters sing to you while you eat. It was so fun. Most of them have been in off Broadway shows. They might even be singing while they serve you your food. I could see Luke working here!
Peyton ordered a banana split at Stardust
If you couldn't tell she loved it!!





While we were in New York and DC went went on the double decker buses. They were so fun. So this is when we were riding on the bus. That is the Brooklyn Bridge in the background.
We stayed in Jersey, so this is us waiting for the bus into NYC
Ok I just thought this was crazy how they park. Since there is no room to park anywhere this is how they have there parking.
This is the pier from I am Legend!! That's the Brooklyn Bridge on the left.
United Nations. They were in session. That is why the flags are all up.






Saint Patricks Cathedral. It is so beautiful.
Inside St Patricks Cathedral. There were so many stained glass windows!

This is the organ inside St Patricks Cathedral
Rockefeller Center. They were installing the skating rink.







Time Square!!Tiles for America. The tiles were made by children in NYC for the victims of 9/11
Will Smiths house in I am Legend!
Chinese Restaurant in China Town
Washington Memorial








Grand Central Terminal

That is 24k gold. There were a lot of buildings decorated in gold. They were built during the golden era when people had nothing better to do with there money then decorate there house with it.
Trump Towers
Carnegie Hall
