"The Great Lawn" at Central Park
An entertainer in the middle of Central Park...these little girls were fascinated by it! I was too! I stopped to watch for several minutes!
Central Park...an green oasis in the middle of all that noise! Here's the famous boat pond...scene in many movies.
The Great Lawn as the sign said...a huge green area including a baseball field, all right in the middle of Central Park. This is were New Yorkers do their sunbathing apparently! We saw lots! Apparently pools are hard to come by in NYC!
The VERY top of the Empire State Building! Lights up red, white, and blue!
A picture of Manhattan at night from the top of the Empire State Building. What a sight! You can see the Chrysler Building in the background.
Here she is...what a surreal experience to see her in person! WOW!
View of Manhattan from the ferry on our way to Liberty Island to see the Statue of Liberty!
Lady Liberty in the distance on 4th of July. We had to wait in line over an hour for ferry tickets and then for several hours to get on the ferry to go to Liberty Island. Well worth it though...what a way to spend the 4th!
NBC News in Rockefeller Plaza...apparently New Yorkers really do get their news this way!
Another shot of Rockefeller Plaza...
At the heart of Times Square...we never did find out the importance of the red, guarded, seating; however, in the background, you can see advertisements for all the shows that were playing on Broadway while we were there. My friends and I saw Jersey Boys (the story of The Four Seasons) and it was PHENOMENAL! Probably the highlight of my trip, if I had to pick just one!
This is where the ball drops in Times Square...pretty cool! I've seen it on TV so many times!
I don't think I would ever get used to the hustle and bustle of the city that never sleeps! All those people! An AMAZING trip that I'll never forget! But, all in all, I think I'm a country girl at heart!
