New York City

Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

On Friday of last week I flew out to see my brother and sister in law in Connecticut. On Saturday we went on a sightseeing adventure through New York City. Here’s our NYC trip as I can remember it:

  • Took the train to Grand Central Station
  • Walked around and looked at the incredible ceiling
  • Took the subway to eighty-somethingth street
  • Took a quick cab ride to get over to the Metropolitan Museum of Art
  • Nearly ran through the Met to get to the roof
  • Watched a firework display that went off at noon and looked at other works from the artist who did the firework display
  • Saw a lot of the modern and Egyptian galleries
  • Saw the enormous painting of Washinton Crossing the Delaware (whoah)
  • Sat on the steps of the Met, eating a snack and watching a puppeteer
  • Walked down to Bethesda Fountain in Central Park
  • Walked to Rockefeller Center and went up to the tippity-top, gawking at the city
  • Walked through Times Square
  • Walked back to Grand Central Station
  • Took the train home

Man oh MAN was that ever a great day. The weather was perfect, the sights and sounds were amazing, and I had a great time with my family. :)
