NYC Day 2 and Rhode Island/Boston Day 3


Day 2 in New York City was spent going down to lower Manhattan to see the Staten Island Ferry.


We also took the Liberty Ferry to see the Statue of Liberty. It was pretty amazing.


Here is the New York skyline as we left to head to the Statue of Liberty.


This was on the wall by the fire department down by groud zero. It listed all the lives lost from the fire department.


This is the current construction at ground zero. There is still a lot of work to do.
Later that evening we saw our 2nd musical, Billy Elliott. Steve and I were pretty impressed with Mama Mia the night before so we went to a second show on our 2nd day in the city as well as having a very nice dinner at Ruth Chris' Steak House.



Day 3 we left New York and headed to Boston but made a stop in Newport, Rhode Island. We watched some crazy surfers in the ice cold water of Newport Bay.


We then took a hike to see many old mansions from the late 1800s.
