Ground Zero


We went to the site of Ground Zero, but I was a little disapointed. You can't really see anything now, they have fence up all around with "blanket" type things all around. You can peek through, but you have to stand on road blockers and climb the fence. I would love to go back when they finish whatever it is they are doing.






This is a picture of the fire fighters that were first on scene. This fire departmen is directly across the street from where the towers stood.

Central Park


We had dinner at Tavern on the Green in Central Park. It was a nice resturant, not sure it would be one of my favorite places to eat if I lived in NYC, but it was a nice one-nighter.




The giant gorilla made of plant stuff


When I made the reservations, I ordered this cake for Jeremy


Our waiter, nice guy...don't remember his name..


On our walk in Central Park we found a cute little raccoon

Empire State Building...Limo Ride back to the hotel

It was so windy up there. I am glad we went at night, there was no line and the view of the city was awesome. The pictures did not turn out as good as I had hoped but it was kool. I do not recommend paying the extra money and going to the "next observation deck" it is closed in and nothing big. Jeremy surprised me with a limo ride back to the hotel, which was really kool. You can get just about anything at any time in NYC....lol





How high we were

New York...Yankees Game

We had a great time in NYC. We went to a Yankee's game the first night we were there. Heather and I got awesome seats that had a "waiter" that came and took our order, we handed him our credit card for payment, and the food was delivered in about 10 minutes. You can 't get that kind of service standing in line :)

Catch-up


Me and Niki at her 8th Grade Drama Banquet. She had a great time hanging with all of her friends.


Niki and Bailey, they have been buddies since the 6th grade. They are not going to high school together but they will keep in touch through text I am sure..

Today is the day....it is Jeremy's last offical day aboard Roosevelt...I will be staying on as Ombudsman for a while to help out during Cheif's initiation, however Jeremy starts leave today as well. Which works out GREAT since Kevin is now in football and has practice 4 days a week and games every Saturday. Which is really going to cut into my Bama Football watching...but I am a dedicated mommy...I will work through it..
