Today we started a our day at 9:00 AM and we will not be back tell 11:30 PM. What a busy day we have, with the first stop at Rockefeller Center. We arrived at about 10:00 AM, and headed to the top of the Rock.
Cyndy even made it up to the top and this is what we got to see.
How would you like to live down town New York and look out over Central Park. It is about the only green patch here, they have a few other smaller parks but this is the main one.
Empire State building is the center, a lot of concrete in this city and people everywhere.
The view from the Rock is great, it is hard to explain it, but we spent over and hour just walking around and looking at the view. It is breath taking. We went down and had lunch and walked around looking at some of the shops here in Rockefeller Center.
This is a chandelier that is 3 floors high and takes 5 works 8 hours to clean.
we went on a hunt to find the subway so we could see what it looked like, they wanted $2.50 to just go down to the platform to take a picture, so this is the best I could do.
Some of the shops in Rockefeller Center.
Then at 1:00 PM we head to Radio City Music Hall for a Back Stage tour.
We headed inside for the back stage tour. This theater has been here sense 1932, and is now on the Historic Land Mark. They have keep it the same as it was back in 1932.
This is as it was in 1932.
We were not aloud to take any pictures inside of the theater, because of the show that is going on now.
Rocketts gowns
We walked down the street for a short visit of St. Patrick's Cathedral.
These is were they had the memorial for all the firefighters that were killed in 9-11, 10 years after.
These pictures inside the Church shows how beautiful it is.
We have really been busy so far to day and we haven't even got half way done. Our next stop is Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.
These are some of the planes that flew off of the Intrepid.
This was a great display of the USS Intrepid Aircraft Carrier.
We got to spend about 2 hours here looking around and see how this fine ship spent its time making the USA a free country.
We then loaded the bus went for a short drive to a place were we could change our cloths for the New York Dinner cruise.
Yes we all clean up well.
The city lights up real good at night, we went up the Hudson River to see the city at night.
Our last stop was back down the Hudson.
The Statue Of Liberty at night and she looked beautiful. We got in late tonight and tomorrow we are heading out on day 13 to Philadelphia West Chester KOA.
It wasn't a bad drive today, 136 miles of mostly freeway driving. We got to the park and had a potluck meal. Everyone had a great drive today.
