Oh goodness!

What happened to the Van A sisters? We all go on this fun trip then disappear!

Since I am the one with the least to do, and all the pictures on my computer I guess I will post a few of them!

While we were still in Toronto we went to see...

...the CN tower!
And that was about it!

The next day we...

...drove to NEW YORK!!

Day One in The Big Apple:

Sunday morning we went and found...

...A Gospel Church in Harlem.
We even got our own welcome song!

Then we went and...

...Walked the Brooklyn Bridge.

And got...

...Some yummy pizza in Brooklyn.
The bathroom was in high demand in this cafe.

Then we walked to...

...China Town! And bought a pomegranate!
(thats not all we bought!)

Then we took the subway to...

...Times Square!
I wish I could figure out how to flip pictures on blogger.

After a almost walking our feet off we decided to walk a little farther to...

...Rockefeller Plaza, which was cool (30 Rock anyone?).

Day Two in Empire City:

We started off by taking a walk...

...Through Central Park.
Kim took this picture with the timer. Isn't it lovely?!

Then walked over to...

...The American Museum of Natural History.
We especially liked the Christmas dino!
And we had fun inside too.
This is me posing with my cave man friend.

We stumbled upon...

...Pier 17.
What a delight it was!
I felt it necessary to take a nap.

Then we headed over to...

...The Empire State Building.
I soon after got in trouble for climbing the fence. Oops!
We saw Times Square from up high!

With two candy addicts in the group, we felt it mandatory to visit...

...(self explanatory I hope!)
It was awesome!

Day Three in The Melting Pot:

First we took a walk in...

...Battery Park (used to be a landfill).
Rather than explain that hunk of metal:

Next we took a ride on...

...The Staten Island Ferry.
A free and easy way to see the Statue of Liberty!

Then went over to...

...TKTS to get our Broadway tickets!
This is a secret booth barely any one knows about, so we didn't have to wait in line.

One last stop before the big show at the...

....Metropolitan Museum.
They don't let you bring liquids in here so we had to drink our drinks.
Those are Van Gogh's Paintings. It was cool.

This is...

...The Broadway show we went to.
The sets were amazing!

Three days. We crammed a lot into it. I highly suggest going for a little longer! Now we just have to go back! Over all, a lovely trip. But now I am tired, and have had just about enough of blogger for one day. So, Happy Christmas everyone, and I'm glad it's a white one!
