Just ONE day in New York City....

 So, NYC is only a 1.5 hour drive from us?  WHO KNEW?  We definitely plan to do this sort of visit again.

We got up early, parked for FREE on a street in Brooklyn (it was Sunday).

We met up with friends, played and had lunch.  Then, we took a water taxi from Brooklyn to Pier 11.

That's when the real walking began.






We walked to the site of the World Trade Centers and talked with the boys about what happened there.

 Then we took a subway / walked to Times Square.  They were in AWE over the number of televisions!!!

This is where Paul made his stand.

Get me ice cream or no more walking!

 After ice cream, we found a splash park in Central Park.  They had a blast.











Then we ate dinner in Little Italy.  We all enjoyed it, but Caleb was in Pasta Heaven!

We walked from Little Italy, across the Brooklyn Bridge back to our car.











Everyone was tired!!  It was a long, full, fun day!!
