The UN building was the scene for our Social Studies lessons in globalization today! Many of these lessons are not pleasant to learn about, but are important none the less.The kids were probably more excited when we participated in a KFC taste test for the new grilled chicken that they were doing across the street. They even filmed us!
We also went to the top of the Rockefellar building today. The view was incredible, but the boys found it a bit nerve wracking; the girls were having a great time! We were not able to go up into the Statue of Liberty on the day we went, and the Empire State building tour had long line ups. This building has much better views of Central Park, anyway! The elevator, which goes up 67 floors, has a glass roof, and there
are small lights up the elevator shaft so that you can watch as you go up (and down) in 54 seconds!

It was a relatively clear day so we could see most of the city. There was a bit of smog, but we have seen much worse in L.A.
We even managed to get a picture with David & I instead of the kids!!!!
The view is so worth it. Luckily you don't have to have lunch on the scaffolding, like they did when they built it. I love that photo!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics of New York...I have always wanted to go there.
ReplyDeleteIt will be even more exciting there now with the World Series!! I am sure you could get scalpers tickets for around $500.00 each.....
