Home again, home again, jiggity-jog! We got home yesterday around supper time. We had a really good time!! Ashley was NOT ready to leave.....& can not wait to go back again. It was so much fun showing her around & watching her reaction to everything.
We stayed at the Teaneck Marriott at Glenpointe in Teaneck, NJ.
We stayed on the 8th floor & had an awesome view of the city.....although from this picture, you would never know. It was so overcast until the morning we left. We could see the Empire State Building right straight in front & the Freedom Towers down to the right of the photo.
 |
| Our first night in the city, we took Ashley to eat supper at John's Pizzeria......where we ate back in March. It was kind dark inside for picture-taking, but we were sitting right here next to the big ole brick oven. |

| The Statue of Liberty made totally from Legos.....in the Toys R Us store. |

| After supper, we took the subway (Ashely's first subway ride) down to the Staten Island Ferry |

 |
| Tuesday morning while Clay went to class, Ashley & I took the bus back over to the city & grabbed some bagels & coffee so she could have her picture taken in front of Tiffany's......for her 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' shot. I didn't get that picture with my camera......took it with her camera......she got TONS better pictures than I did. But anyway, we sat down at these cute little tables right outside of AFO Schwarz & ate our breakfast before the rain started. Then we headed INTO the stores. |

I didn't realize you all were going again so soon. It sure looked like fun and yes, you all do have a beautiful view.
There's nothing like coming home again is there?
