On Sunday, we got up and went to the One Tower and the 911 Memorial. We spent over 4 hours there and still did not see it all. It was amazing. The exhibit was overwhelming and heartbreaking and awe-inspiring. I could have spent all day there, at the same time I had to stop looking at the items found because it was so sad.
After the 911 memorial and museum, we went to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. I absolutely loved the Statue of Liberty. It was every bit as magnificent as I would have imagined. We also had a great time on the ferry ride there and back.
Ellis island was cool. It was neat to think of our Lebanese ancestors coming over and starting fresh. It was a beautiful, historic site.
Then we ate dinner in Little Italy and headed back to Times Square. We took a night tour of NYC and hit Brooklyn and several other areas. It was cool to see!
After the night tour I stopped in the M & M store to get the kids a souvenir and I ended up knocking over a huge display of hard plastic cups with hard straws. It was so crazy and I was freaked out! I ended up calling it the "M-sident" and didn't walk back in the store for the entire trip!
