Grand Central Terminal New York City

Finally we landed in grand central terminal in New York! I slept like a baby but before I fell asleep I noticed that Aaron was on his computer probably playing games, Shelby was flirting with the male flight attendants, and Cheyenne was gazing out the window.

Final day of NewYork City and we didn't know what to do. There were hangovers and others were worn out. So we took it easy. Had some breakfast at Bathazar in Soho, then took the subway to 62nd street so Nate could take the Illustrators museum off his list of things to see. The Illustrator from Mad was the feature collection. Sorry I forgot his name …

Today we purchased tickets to visit the 911 Memorial for a 10am booking. The ticket office was a couple of blocks away from Ground Zero and was a little tricky to find. The memorial consists of two enormous pools surrounded by cascading water and the engraved names of all the victims. The pools are on the exact footprints of the twin towers. There …
