New York, New York

We had a day in New York, so we decided to do a 9 hour bus tour.  It wasn't cheap, but it got us around the whole city in a less stressful way and got us front of the line passes to the things we most wanted to see, so it was a splurge well spent!
 Grand Central Station...
 Top of the Empire State Building...

 Lunch in Little Italy...
 The Federal Building where George Washington took his oath of office and became our first President!
 The Stock Market...
 Atop the Pedestal at the Statue of Liberty...






Beautiful Lady Liberty...

 Inside the Museum there, the kids with her foot...
 9-11 Memorial.  It was pouring rain at this point so we didn't get to walk around much here, but it was still an inspiring site and a beautiful memorial.  May we never forget!

On Sunday we went back into the city to go to church next to the Manhattan, New York Temple.  It is right across the street from Lincoln Center.





New York was Tanner's favorite part of the trip, and the most stressful for me!  We were almost trampled by a crowd of concert going 20 somethings in the train station on the way back to our car on Sunday.  It was wild!  I am glad we got to see New York though, because I will never go there again with little ones!
