New York City...

Yesterday we drove to Manhatten and spent most of the day seeing the sites in New York City. We didn't have time to go to the Statue of Liberty though, so Mr. Bevis dropped us off for a few minutes at a park that has a pretty good view of it. Getting to be in New York City was such an amazing experience. I have never seen so many people on one street corner, or for that matter on the sidewalk in my life! There were thousands of people, and the traffic was horrendous. Mr. Bevis drove us by Times Square, Madison Square Gardens, The Plaza Hotel, and through Central Park. We stopped at Ground Zero and got out to see the memorials. I think the best part of the day was getting to go to the top of the Empire State Building though. The view was incredible! Again we were thanking the Lord for a beautiful sunny day so we could see a long ways. The last time Christa got to go to the top two years ago, it was a little foggy and one couldn't see very far out.
