New York: Day 5








Our last full day in New York City! The weather has heated up and it is sticky out! Breakfast was Dunkin Doughnuts, I didn't see what the big deal is, but some people are obessed with it! With our healthy breakfast behind us we headed off to pay our respects at Ground Zero. Saint Paul's church had a nice display honoring all those who were lost. It is also the church George Washington attended (yes it is that old!).

We walked down and went to Trinty Church and saw were Alexander Hamilton was buried. We checked out Wall Street, the NY Stock Exchange, Federal Hall and the Wall Street Bull. Since it was Sunday everything was closed up but we could take lots of great photos. We got Subway for lunch (the sandwich not the train) and got on the boat to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. We did the Ranger Tour of Liberty Island and learned all about the Statue and how it came to be what it is today. Ellis Island we self toured and you took a nap.

In the evening we didn't have any plans so went to Juniors again and got an egg cream, went to the hotel pool (to cold!) and shopped a bit at the stores by our hotel. Dinner was at Applebees and you loved the chicken that was on my salad! Last day in New York tomorrow, sad to be going home!
