NYC - Day 4



Once again Mom, Dad and the kids hit it early. This time they headed down the south tip of Manhattan. They started with a walk down Wall street. From there they walked along the pier to the Staten Island Ferry.

The Staten Island Ferry goes by the Statue of Liberty, so the bipeds got to see the symbol that so many immigrants longed to see. On the ferry return trip they got a great view of the NYC skyline.

After the ferry trip, they took a stroll through Battery park. Here they saw street vendors and street artist selling their goods. From Battery Park they headed North up Broadway. After a bite to eat for lunch, the kids got an ice cream and mom and dad tried a Gellato. And they fell in love with the icy goodness. They also stopped by the site of the World Trade Center. While moving the experience was cheapened by all of the street vendors who were hocking their cheap merchandise.

They continued up Broadway to City Hall park. After a quick rest they continued on hitting a few stores on the way then calling it a day.
