Vacation - Part Two

Day 3: On Monday, we decided to bring in the Memorial Day by going to Liberty State Park to see the Statue of Liberty. We grabbed some Subway sandwiches on the way there, had a picnic, played with whistles and frisbees, and enjoyed every minute of the nice summer day!













Day 4: We spent the day in New York City! We had dim sum at Jing Fong, stopped at the Fay Da bakery for some Chinese rolls, then onto Times Square, including some shopping at Toys R Us. After lunch we took a tour inside the USS Intrepid.



We even got to pop a squat in the middle of Broadway!!! In May they closed Broadway to vehicle traffic for five blocks at Times Square, turning part of the "Crossroads of the World" into a pedestrian mall of throbbing lights, animated billboards and towering skyscrapers. The city believes the move will reduce pollution, cut down on pedestrian accidents and increase the flow of traffic. They even set out a bunch of chairs for people to sit on...so we had to get a picture! =)



After we finished up on Times Square, we headed down the road to take a tour of the USS Intrepid. I'm not usually into that sort of thing, but I must admit it was very cool. Here's a few pictures from the Intrepid.
