Got up early and headed to Ground Zero. Took the subway and went to the Trinity Church first. No matter how many times I go there it takes my breath away. Walk pasat ground zreo and headed for the promenade on the Hudson. Got word from the cruise director last night to go to the second floor of the financial building and you can see into ground zero. Pretty impressive. Oh yea there is also a new museum across the street that shows what the Freedom Tower will be like. Made our way out to the plaza where everyone was eating lunch...it was packed and a beautiful day to eat outside. After walking aways on the beautiful promenade we stopped at Steamers for lunch. We sat on an the patio and had seafood....yum....I have the clam chowder and Adam and Katelyn had the mussels...finished the walk and went over to Wall St. from there we walked up to SoHo. Quite a long walk but worth it to see the city. We got our shopping in and then decided to go over to the meatpacking district to go see Highline Park. The Highline (as they call it) is an old elevated train track that is no longer in use. The city converted it into a park with a pathway down the middle of it. We ended up taking a cab there because it was way too far and we never would have found it..We strolled along and found a cart that sold gelato and sherbet......yum....the milk chocolate gelato was scrumptious.....nice treat on a hot humid day.
On ward on our marathon walk....I think my son just loved to wear us out....we were pretty tired....jumped on the subway at 34th and 7th...and it was home again....We decided to stay in and have left over Carmines from the night before....did I say we had take out!! Some stuffed artichokes and penne a la vodka.....great the second night too....til tomorrow :)
