Vacation Part III: New York, New York

N&A: Next stop, New York City.  We took the bus from DC, arrived at the Port Authority, then schlepped our luggage seven blocks to Penn Station, where we could pick it up the next day before heading out on the train.  We spent the afternoon dodging rain showers, but we managed to check out the progress on the World Trade Center site and stop in at St. Paul's.  We also took a peek at the Statue of Liberty from Battery Park.  In the evening we caught up with Ann in Brooklyn.  The next morning, we checked out Central Park and then hopped on the train to Vermont. 
 
N:  I was fascinated by the heat and noise coming out of these subway vents, even though there wasn't much to see.  Actually, there were trees growing to just below the surface in a couple of these, but not too many trees anywhere else in this part of town.
 

A&N:  Sampling New York cheesecake.  Good stuff.


A:  Central Park is great!  Noah loved the huge rocks, and I liked this playground.  This was the only place we really saw any other kids in Manhattan (Brooklyn was a different story).
