More from NYC




view of the Statue of Liberty from the Staten Island Ferry



We decided to see the Empire State Building at night. I took this picture as we were walking toward it. Can you spot the blimp in this picture?


Some beautiful views from the top of the Empire State Building





The net you can see is for a driving range that was out on a pier. Eric was impressed by the boat

I was fascinated by their parking ramps. Instead of a ramp they lift them up and park them on top of each other
Flatiron building
Everything in New York is big. Check out this billboard!



We found Homer Simpson in China Town

At Rockefeller Center the skating rink becomes a restaurant in the summer



We didn't realize Lady Liberty was going to charge us $3.00 for a picture, so this was the best picture we could get for free!

This is an Apple Store that is underground
FAO Schwarz candy
Trump Tower

Beautiful Bethesda fountain in Central Park(Eric googled the fountain from the TV show Friends and that fountain was located in Hollywood California).

We got tickets to see Mamma Mia and sat in the 5th row. We really loved the show!
We had dinner at Tavern On The Green. There was a wedding reception going on while we were having dinner. We were looking for celebrities, but we didn't see any:-(


We went to the Hershey store and wanted to buy everything, but we were too afraid it would melt, so we didn't buy anything. This was an actual candy bar that weighed about 10 lbs. The syrup was a bank.

Our last day in New York we visited the Brooklyn Bridge. They have a nice walking path that goes between the lanes of traffic.
There were some workers inspecting the bridge. I wouldn't want that job!





You can see the Staten Island Ferry and the Status of Liberty from the Brookyn Bridge.
This was probably the only famous person we saw in New York and we don't even know who she is. She is a model that was getting her photo taken on the bridge with the city in the background.
We happened upon this interesting museum that seemed to be attracting some attention from people passing by.

Greetings from New York City

Well, Grandma Shirley's watching Evan while Mommy and Daddy are busy seeing New York City. We found a bed and breakfast on Staten Island and our room overlooks the Financial District of Manhattan. Today, we saw the financial district, Chinatown, Little Italy, Soho, and Greenwich Village (where we found this Cyber Cafe). Evan - We love you, we miss you, and we'll be home soon!

More Evan

Here are some recent pictures of Evan! Eric decided to give Evan a funny hairdo before bathtime:-)
Whenever he sits in his rocking chair he turns around and sits backwards.

Vikings season opener

It doesn't look like the Vikings will pull out a win for the season opener, but Eric is still a loyal fan. Evan and Eric put on their Vikings shirts and watched the game(I'm wearing a purple shirt out of coincidence). Nice job on the self portrait Eric! Well Evan is very much on the move now so he doesn't want to sit still to watch the game like he did last season(when he'd pass out for the whole game).



A look back to when Evan was less than a week old watching his first Vikings game.

A look back at December 2nd when he was a little bigger, but still barely able to stay awake for a game.
GO VIKINGS!!
