Day 1 in New York

Here we are in Grand Central Station, ready to start the day!  The train ride in from our campground takes about an hour and  a half, but it is the closest one that is still open.  The train station is as impressive as it looks on TV shows!

We walked around Manhattan and came across Rockefeller 

Square where they have just recently put in the skating rink that they have in during the holiday season.  Well, what else can good Canadian kids do, but go skating??  

Of course, Sean was the only one on the rink wearing shorts!!  Skating along side of women in business suits with skirts, and old Chinese men who shouldn't even be on the ice.  And of course no one is wearing a helmet!

We also took a bus tour around the city to see all the sights.  It was a beautiful fall day, around 20 degrees, and it was so cool to be in New York City!!!!

Times Square at night is a site to behold!  Lights and people everywhere!  They have a section of stadium type seating, lit up with neon lights, that sits right in the middle so you can sit there and watch the traffic and people go by.  We just sat there, amazed to be there and experiencing it!!!
