1st Visit to NEW YORK CITY!

 Ever since Hailey heard that we were going to be on the east coast for her birthday she insisted that we should go to New York City for her birthday.  Hailey's birthday is on Tuesday so this past weekend we headed 4 hours south to the Big Apple.  We were incredibly overwhelmed by most everything there.  The magnitude of the buildings, the people, the shops, the traffic, and the subway system,
 Central Park

 Not your average food court.  A meal complete with a lobster roll, clam chowder, and fancy desserts.
 The subway system was unbelievable; four lanes going in every direction.  The kids were amazed and super excited to climb aboard.
We took to subway down to Battery Park were we missed the ferry by 2 minutes to ride out to the Statue of Liberty and to Ellis Island.  
We also go to go tour the New World Trade Center Tower and the 9/11 memorial.
