Finally, New York!!

We finally got into Manhattan this weekend. We decided Saturday morning that we would go into NY after seeing a nice, sunny morning outside. So, we took the train in and explored a tiny, little bit of the city.
This is Jason, outside of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. We spent the afternoon looking at the Greek and Roman art, Egyptian Art and a small bit of European Paintings. It's an amazing and huge museum that we are planning on returning to.



This is a sphinx from Hatshepsut's temple. We went to her temple at Deir-el-bahri in Egypt.



In Central Park (there's a wedding in the background).



Cental Park (see the high rise apartments in the background- expensive!!).


Times Square



Jason and I got to check out the Apple store. It's all underground. This picture is of the glass box that serves as the entrance. It's pretty cool.

Wow! I missed a few days checking your blog and was delighted to see how much you had blogged. New York looks beautiful. How far of a drive was that for you? My claim to fame is that when I was at New York once on a family trip, we went to the very top of the World Trade Centers. Did you see the sight? Are they building there?

Hi, it took us about an hour and fifteen minutes by train to get there. Not too bad for a day trip. We sat near some really loud New Yorkers which entertained us for most of the ride. We didn't get to see Ground Zero, but yes, they are going to be building a high rise there again.
