Our New York Trip....was AWESOME!!!

Mike and I just got back from NYC for a vacation that we have been planning for the past few months. It was our graduation gift to ourselves. We were there for 5 nights and we visited everything on Manhattan. We only rode the Subway, I am now a pro at subway riding. It was awesome. We went to the United Nations Building, St. Patrick's Cathedral, St. John the Divine's Cathedral. We walked all over Soho and Greenwich Village and Central Park. We visited the temple and went to church in the ward in Harlem. Here are a couple of pictures from our trip. There are more on My facebook page if you are interested. THIS WAS THE VIEW from the apartment that we stayed at!!! NO JOKE it was 40 floors up and had a great view of the city. I you want a way to travel try vrbo.com to check out places to rent while on vacation, most of the time they are cheaper then hotels. The place that we stayed at was a small studio apartment.

The First day that we got to New York Mike and I went to the Manhattan Temple. It is a very beautiful temple inside.

Yes this is the restaurant from Seinfeld.

The Brooklyn Bridge we walked half-way across!!! It was an amazing way to see the city.
Mike in front of the New York Stock Exchange building....
Mike and I spent half a day in Central Park just walking around and we only covered maybe a third of it....What can I say we are slow walkers, or the park is just really big.
This is for you Dad.
Me eating AGAIN....This is a Gray's Papaya Dog...this is for you DAD.
Mike took this picture in Chinatown. All the stuff in this Store was STILL MOVING, Including these eels. I guess they mean fresh.

This is the restaurant that we ate at in little Italy....so Good.

We got to see Lion King.....WE LOVED IT. One of the Best Musicals that I have ever seen.

This is the old Harlem Ward Building. We went to Church in Harlem on Sunday, What an Amazing ward that they have there.
Mike in front of Kornets Pizza, an old mission spot. True New York Style Pizza.
