Our NYC Story: Day 5

Tuesday, April 28

Today we spent most of the day at the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island, Intrepid Air Museum and the night bus tour.

This statue is in battery park where we caught the boat out to the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island. It used to stand in the World Trade Center and now stands as a symbol of the tragedy there on 9/11/2001.We took the boat out to the Statue of Liberty. We went up to the base (right under the feet) of the statue and into the museum there. It was awesome!

This is the boat we took out there. It was a beautiful day for a boat ride.

A lady took our picture together while we were at the Statue of Liberty.
This is Ellis Island. We went inside and learned alot through the museum. We were probably out in the New York Harbor for about 5 hours. It was worth it though, if you have the time.

This is Lombardi's Pizza in Little Italy. It is the oldest pizzaria in New York, established in 1905. The pizza was pretty good, but I think I just don't like NY style pizza as much as others.

This is the Intrepid, a retired air craft carrier with an air, space and sea museum inside. This was Kyle's favorite place we went. They had tons of planes and military stuff inside.
Here is Kyle trying out the medivac chopper like the ones on MASH.

On the night tour we went by this mural on the side of the building. The guide said that it was a law somewhere that they couldn't remove or paint over this mural because it has the twin towers in it. Who knows?

We started the night tour before it got dark. It took us through Manhatten and over to Brooklyn. Here are some signs from Chinatown. It is like you aren't even in the US overthere.

Another great day in NYC.
