Day 4 - Brooklyn and Manhattan
We get to sleep in!!!!! Breakfast at 6:45 this morning at a Brooklyn diner a 2 min walk from our hotel. After breakfast we head for the subway station for the ride to Manhattan.
We exit in the financial district and head for Ground Zero and St Paul's chapel, the oldest building in Manhattan. A lot has changed at Ground Zero now that construction has begun. We headed towards Wall Street to see the NYSC. Then it was down to Battery Park to catch the ferry to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. We had lunch on Ellis Island, then took the ferry back to Manhattan for a little shopping around Battery Park.Took the subway back to Brooklyn(by now the kids are experienced subway riders).
Had some time for some hotel pool time before we had to get ready for dinner and Broadway. Had dinner at Gossip Restaurant on Ninth Ave then to the Palace Theater for the revival of West Side Story. After the theater we went across the street to Time Square for a group photo.
We had a wonderful day, topping off with the Lakers winning the national championship. It's now 12:35 a.m. the kids are in their rooms getting ready for the NBC Studio Tour, and the Today Show.
