I would add a picture if I could figure out how. I am very grateful for many moments in my life. The best moments were shared with my family. When my children graduated from college I wanted to take a special family vacation, because I knew that the dynamics of my family would soon change. I am so thankful for the time that we spent together in New York City. This is a place that I thought I would never enjoy going to because I thought that it would be difficult to get around. I was right. It is a huge city. However, I was wrong as far as it being difficult to get around it. My family would point me in the right direction and we were off to explore the treasures of New York City. I loved it!!! Jennifer is right about the Ellen Star Dust Cafe. They sang all of the Oldies But Goodies. The girls wore poodle skirts and bobby socks. We got the old time ice cream sundaes. They were so good. We ate in a French restaurant and sat by doors that opened up like windows so that you felt like you were sitting on the street. Seeing the Statue of Liberty was a WOW moment. Wicket was a fabulous play as was Phantom of the Opera. I loved riding the bus with my family and touring the city. The Yankee game and the surroundings of the Yankee Stadium was like going back in time. The vendors selling peanuts, cokes, and beer was like seeing the past. People passed the food and drinks up several rows and across 25 to 30 people before it got to the person who bought it. We ate hot dogs and peanuts. Paul was like a little kid at Christmas. He reminisced about sitting on his grandfather's lap and watching the Yankees play on TV. We met some very friendly and kind locals who helped us get on the right subways so that we ended up where we were supposed to. Time Square was bigger than life. Walking through the financial district and seeing Wall Street and the Bull was an eye opener in itself. The church that was next to the Twin Towers where presidents had sat and worshipped and the rescuers would take a break was another WOW moment. Our family time and the fun we had exploring New York City together was one of my favorite memories. What an awesome family I have. God is wonderful.
