New York, New York

Steve has now dubbed New York as his favorite city.

From the airplane ride, to the Brooklyn Bridge, it was alllll good.

Bethy was a fan of the airplane, especially while she slept.

I personally enjoyed watching the newest Star Trek movie on Steve's iTouch while flying. Ahhh the joys of 2010. Remember the Oregon Trail game? The people who lived that scenario couldn't get from New York to Chicago in an hour and a half !

Bethy also enjoyed reading the "Sky Mall" magazine.

The views from the plane were tremendous.

We visited Grand Central Station...

and the Brooklyn Bridge.

Steve especially enjoyed walking the Brooklyn Bridge as he is reading "The Great Bridge" by David McCullough at the moment. He filled us in on all the history and facts that came to mind as we walked it.

From the bridge we saw the Statue of Liberty. I was struck by what power it must have had for immigrants sailing across the ocean to the "New World." I want to be like that statue in life, holding up the torch for those sailing the waters without God, saying "This is the way! Come over here!" It was a neat moment.

And for the Aunt Bos (Kim and Julie), we had to take this picture.
