Okay...here are the some of the best pics from the city. We did not have near enough time here...so it was a CRAZY whirlwind! We arrived around 6pm on Friday. Friday evening we went straight to the empire state building, then we took the subway to canal street & ate dinner in Little Italy. We also did our souveneir shopping there. We were both wearing the wrong shoes for walking so we headed back to the hotel relatively early. Saturday was crammed full: 3 hour boat tour around Manhattan in the morning, Times Square, 1.5 hour 'lost in the city' time, Yankee Stadium tour, Central Park tour by bike, & then dinner. We were both so exhausted...we called it a night at 9:30! Whew!
Derek turned on his 'texas charm' to the lady at the reception desk to score us this corner room. 
Views from the top of the Empire State Building
Our first subway riding experience. Derek adamantly wanted to ride the subway everywhere! I was all about the taxi's...even if they were more expensive. However, we did see some EXTREMELY interesting people & things!
On the boat tour. It was in the 30's when the tour started...so with the wind chill on the boat, it was booty cold!!! But, I loved every minute of it. I especially loved wearing my big winter coat that usually collects dust in my closet.
Manhattan skyline...
The UN building (green one) & our hotel Millenium UN plaza on the right
Statue of Liberty & the moon
The twin towers were right behind these buildings. The building on the left is having to be torn down one story at a time because it did not survive the attack.
View of the Manhattan & Brooklynn bridges
Times Square. I decided that times square is equally as interesting as it is scary. It was just a little too much for me, not being a city girl.
This guy with the feathers on top of his head, kept imitating bird noises REALLY loudly while walking around. Not something you see in Friendswood everyday...
The 'Friends' fountain at Central Park. The buildings in the background are the ones from the Ghostbuster movie.

Another fountain at Central Park. It was getting really dark by this time, so I was not able to take very many pics. So, I had to put the camera down & just enjoy central park at dusk...it was lovely. You really need a full week to do New York city justice & not kill yourself trying to see EVERYTHING in a day & a half!
