NEW YORK! Part 1

Ben had his yearly training early this year and in NEW YORK! How cool is that? We took a red eye out on Saturday night, OUCH, and landed in New York about 6am the next day. The girls had been shipped home with my niece Lyndsie to stay with her, Todd, & Brenda.  Brace yourself for a lot of pictures, I'm going to break the trip up into three parts.
The subway! I was way nervous about the whole subway thing at first, but Ben and I actually got pretty good at finding our way, yes we got lost but it was all good.  It was really hot and humid in NYC while we were there and the subway was always at least 10 degrees hotter and it smelled really bad.

Turtle Pond at Central Park

The Clock Tower at the Central Park Zoo.  I was kind of bummed because they didn't have a giraffe, lion, hippo, zebra, like in Madagascar! I'm a dork, but that's what I expected!
Belvedere Castle in the Shakespeare Garden part of Central Park.  It's huge and awesome!
Times Square where they film Good Morning America, I almost cried! I watch GMA almost every morning.

Times Square, it was so awesome, unreal and amazing to be there, with about a million and one other people!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art! I went one day while Ben was in trainings.  I got lost on the way cutting through Central Park and in the Subway on the way back.  I spent over 3 hours just on the main floor. It was amazing and getting lost wasn't bad, just made a memory!
A New York Tax and just like Buddy the Elf says in the movie Elf "The Yellow ones don't stop!"
