Adventures abound

The Mrs. has been on another adventure with but a few hours sleep from the last one. Tuesday morning she headed for Maine to spend the week with our friend Amy after a stop for lunch with the Bro, SIL and Niece #2 in Mass. She will fill in with a few posts and photos from her trip. As of now it looks like I'll be taking an all expense paid 2 day vac to Miami next week.

Here are the last of what we saved from the NYC trip......











The posed shot from the top of the world. Now I'm not afraid of heights or anything but walking outside on top of the ESB had me a little uneasy














This is Grand Central Station (or Grand Central Terminal, the REAL name), and was HUGE. GCS is the largest train station in the world with 67 tracks coming in and services over 125,000 commuters each day along with 500,000 visitors. The American flag was placed there a few days after 9/11 and has flown since.









The four-faced clock on top of the information booth is perhaps the most recognizable icon of Grand Central. Each of the four clock faces are made from opal, the estimated the value is between 10 and 20 million.
















Our hotel in between GCS and the Chrysler Building



















We stopped to watch these kids break dancing on a street corner and they were INCREDIBLE
