New York day 2

Day 2 we headed for the Statue of Liberty. Greg and Gavin joined us. Greg had yet to do much sight seeing so off we went. We got a late start and ended up waiting in line for about an hour. We did finally get a decent pretzel from a street vendor. We took a boat over and enjoyed watching Greg wrestle with Gavin, he wanted to swim with the ducks. Once the boat started Gavin settled down and enjoyed the ride. The Statue of Liberty is amazing. On a side note, in order to get inside her you have to make reservations at least 3 days in advance. We were unaware of that so we stayed on the outside. After lunch and a few souvenirs we headed back and met up with Natasha. We stopped to get a purse for Heidi on Canal street and then headed to Macys so Corbin could pick up something for his prom date. Oh yeah he's going to prom. We didn't do to much walking this time and took the subway. Greg was a trooper and carried Gavin and his stroller up and down all those stairs. Our last stop was Rockefeller center. The kids had no idea what I was talking about as I tried to describe the place to them so we had to stop.




We also went to see Cheryl and Joe. We had a short visit with them because Cheryl was not doing well. Seeing her in bed was an eye opener for me. I did not see my mom get that sick when she had cancer and it was hard to see Cheryl so fragile and small. Cancer is an awful illness and I hope never to experience it myself or with my kids.

We couldn't agree on a place to eat so it was back to the subway and a stop at Mcdonalds and Subway on the way back to Gregs. We had a great time and a wonderful visit . We have to go back and head to the top of the Empire State Building at night to see all of the lights. Next time we will have to stay an extra day or just plan to rest after that overnight flight.
