This morning we set out to take a ferry to Manhattan.
Small problem. We didn't check the schedule. So there was no ferry, but we did get to see amazing views of the city.
There was also a memorial for Jersey City residents that were senselessly killed on that horrible day 12 years ago ...
It was a strange experience to see this along the backdrop of Manhattan knowing that so many of the photos I have seen of that day were taken in this exact spot.
Since there was no ferry, we took the path system. It dropped us off under the World Trade Center.
Here is the new building. I cannot even explain how tall it is It was pretty unreal to stand there and imagine the events that have taken place on that ground.
That was actually a pretty sad start to the morning, but I had to put aside all the emotion and enjoy the day that I had with my two favorite people on earth.
It was a fantastic day and I have about 100 pictures to share but I narrowed it down to a few (or possibly a few too many).
I love passing by all the produce and flowers on the street...
neat buildings...
We let Finn stop in a toy store.
We told him he could pick out anything he wanted ...
He looked around the store He tried to find just the right thing. When he came across this he knew it was it. He grabbed it and said "let's pay!" He got a bowl of vegetables...
And he loves them so.
We walked through Soho which is Tosh's favorite part of NYC.
We went to see what our next place looks like. It is in the West Village and we are very excited to head that way next week. Although, will miss this place. Here is the next spot...
This was a neat looking meat market...
We stumbled across a church where a wedding had just taken place We stopped because it was a neat scene. Luckily Tosh thought to tell Finn it was a wedding because Finn has been talking a lot about having a wedding and getting married. (He got it from an episode of Arthur.) The other night he asked Tosh "can I get married. Can I get married and cry a lot?" It was hysterical. So Finn was happy to get to "see" a real wedding.
Finn napped in his stroller and we got to sit down for a few minutes.
St. Paul's Chapel...
The Trump Building...
Stock Exchange...
Today we learned that Finn has a gene that my mother and I also have. It makes you completely goofy on escalators. Tosh was behind us laughing the entire time.
It was so funny. Finn hesitated to get on. Once he was on, he just couldn't pull it together. He was wobbly. We were a mess.
Tonight we ate a place called Las Americanas. It is a tiny little place. There was something really cool about it It felt like we were in a tiny town. Finn put his sunglasses on his head like me and it was pretty cute =)
