Normally, we would have planned to go to Liberty Island to actually see the Statue of Liberty, but it was closed due to the damage the statue received from hurricane Sandy. As our luck would have it, the island opened up the week after we were there. Oh well.
As seen in the last post, I apparently can't figure out the HTML coding to make my pictures sit side-by-side, so you get to see them in a big long line.
After we returned back to Manhattan, we walked and saw the World Trade Center, Wall Street, FAO Schwartz, and Grand Central Station. We were all tired from all of the walking. The kids wanted to go back to Time Square to purchase the souvenirs that they had fallen in love with. While there, Brett noticed a board that showed that many of the local broadway plays were not sold out. Imagine my delight when we saw that there were still tickets to The Phantom of the Opera!!! The kids didn't want to go, and Brett had seen it twice already so he kindly bought a ticket for me and took the kids back to the hotel to swim while I went to the play. Now that was a highlight of New York City for me!
We ended our day at the Empire State Bldg. The kids were scared once at the top and I must say, that was the most expensive escalator ride I've ever taken in my life.
