In between visits to the cookie place, we also saw the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Rockefeller Center, Top of the Rock, the Empire State Building and from the harbor we could see the 9/11 Memorial.
This was my first visit to the Statue of Liberty and to Ellis Island. I was really amazed at the beauty of the Statute but I also learned that no last names were changed on Ellis Island! It's a myth.
The boys were completely overwhelmed by the Lego Store in Rockefeller Plaza but all I could think of was getting more cookies.
It was a short visit but a memorable one. We were also fortunate to visit our good friends who live in Long Island City and I had another chance to practice my rusty Spanish with our friend's parents from Argentina. The boys have great memories of the city and with the impending arrival of the New York City Football Club, I have a feeling we'll be back before too long!
