New York

Flew to New York and stayed in Morningside Inn, Manhattan for 6 nights. We were right next to Central Park, which was great for getting lost in. We checked out what New York had to offer including; the Empire State Building; Times Square; Madison Square Garden; The Flatiron Building; Brooklyn Bridge; and Ground Zero.
The fire station next to Ground Zero was open and we got to see the memorial to the fire fighters and the Liberty fire engine as it was backing in.
We walked all around Little Italy and China Town, and Wall Street. Took the ferry over to Staten Island and got great views of the Statue of Liberty. We even tried to get on the David Letterman show as part of the audience.
On Saturday we went to the Mermaid Parade on Coney Island. We made a day of it, enjoyed the parade and walked along the boardwalk checking out all the rides.
We also caught up with Amanda’s Uncle Steve, ate loads of American food and did a bit of clothes shopping.
