New York Trip Day 5 and 6

Ok, so I'm going to cheat and combine days! Ok, so yesterday was day 5 and we had a looooong day so I never got online to blog about it.

We got up in the morning and went to Valley Forge, which was fairly interesting. We then headed for Philadelphia where we drove around and looked at various sites and then stopped at the Philadelphia Museum of Art where the kids raced up the steps like Rocky and then we had our pics taken by the rocky statue. Ok, so actually I was going to take Colt's picture by the thing but then he paid some homeless man 2 bucks to take a picture of both of us. ai yi yi

Then we went to see the Liberty Bell, Franklin court and Independence Hall where I knocked my camera to the concrete and broke it. Very unfortunately it was on so the lens was out and now it won't go back in or come on. So that was pretty much the end of the pictures for about 24 hours I did take some with my phone, just got to figure out a better way to get them off it. That evening we went to the Phillies/Marlins game where the home team lost....badly. we then meandered back to the hotel where we arrived about 11 or so.


Now we are to Day 6. We had to be up exceedingly early to head to New York.
Once there we went to Liberty Island to see Lady Liberty then rode the ferry back to Battery Island where we browsed then headed for a walk through New York to South Seaport for lunch. then onto the Empire State building where Colt actually made it up to the observation deck level. we didn't stay up there long but he did make it up the elevator ride and into the glass room Still no camera so sorry no blog pictures. While we waited forever for the rest of our group to get back downstairs we went next door and found a lovely replacement camera. It is another cheap one like the original just much newer. I thought it would work with my dock, but apparently something has changed in the last 5 or so years. sad. The memory card and rechargeable battery works though.

After the Empire State Building we walked to Times Square where we wandered around awhile the highlight was probably M&M world . Oh wait, Colt and I also shared a black and white cookie ala Seinfield. And stopped at the bar above Bubba Gumps for a drink (blueberry lemonade) then on to The funky restaurant Mars 2112 where we had dinner. We then had the choice to go to another Baseball game or come back to the hotel and we came back to the hotel. Tomorrows leave time is not til 9 so we get to sleep in! yay.


Ok, so it wouldn't let me post last night so lets see if it will go now!
