Today we caught up on some of the sights we didn't get to see in the rest of our travels. We checked out of our hotel, left our luggage and headed into the heart of Brooklyn. We visited the sight of Ebbots Field, where the Dodgers played before they moved to Los Angeles. To show you how upset people in Brooklyn still are about them leaving, on the Cyclone sign that was dedicated in the late 90's it said "Unlike the Dodgers, the Cyclone will never leave Brooklyn". Sad they tore down such a historic building but people didn't care much about preserving historic buildings until very recently in history.
Next we took the subway all the way into Times Square. After a bathroom stop we went souvenir shopping and got some cute things to take home with us to remember our trip with. We did go into the Toy R Us to look at the 3 story Ferris wheel inside. Next time we go to New York I will take you on it! Federal Hall was our next location and I enjoyed touring the inside (I have never been in, I have always come after hours). Lunch off the street cart and on the way back to the hotel to collect our luggage. Since we had plenty of time we took the A train to JFK (Cabs are so much $$) and had plenty of time to get to our gate and get ready for our flight. You slept for quite a bit on the flight and were a pretty good girl (for the most part!). Grandpa Gil picked us up and dropped us off at home, Night night time! SO tired from traveling and we have work tomorrow morning...
