NYC here we come!

In NYC we went to the Empire State building
Here is the view from the North

Here is the veiw from to the South. This
main buildings in the back is Wall Street. There are two islands on the right, you can sort of see the Statue of Liberty.

Here is Times Square. We stayed in a hotel right on Broadway overlooking Times Square.

Shopping at Macy's

More Macy's
Gyros from the street vendors (behind him, behind the railing)
M&M store

Can't walk the streets for too long before you succomb to the cartoonists. The picture turned out pretty good and serves as a good memory. It is hanging in Mikes office now.


This is Mike wondering if he wants to join the ranks of the NYPD when he grows up.

We went to White Christmas on Broadway, it was awesome.


Ground Zero memorial



Street fish markets

Shopping for a scarf in China Town

We rode the subway everywhere and actually got pretty good at not getting lost.
Central Park

Still Central Park

A spontaneous bubble show in Central Park

We ran into Rocky Anderson (former Mayor of SLC) in the restaurant Dallas BBQ (of all places)!

Rocky invited us to a party for his organization "High Road for Human Rights". The owner of Nu Skin was hosting the party in her apartment which was the entire top floor of the Time Warner building (seen below). It was a very interesting party.

St Patricks cathedral, very beautiful. Don't be alarmed by the greeter at the bottom of the pic(or her hair). She was actually very nice.
The temple!! That we have always heard so much about. You can ride the subway to it which has a stop right across the street from the temple. It was awesome.

Wow, how fun is that! I loved visiting New York, lots of good memories. One thing I wish we did when we were there is go to the top of the twin towers, we were staying in the Marriott hotel that was RIGHT THERE!!!! Oh it's to late for that.
