Days 6&7- NYC! and HOME!!

    I had never been to the “Big Apple” until Saturday. What a great way to cap off an amazing week. From One World TradeCenter toCentral Park, 5th Avenue and a look into Tiffany’s, Times Square (crazy!) to the M&Ms store- we ended our day with “Anastasia” a musical on Broadway. We at delicious gyros and biryani from street vendors & saw so many iconic sites, I just have to say what a blessing to see things I’ve only heard about.
    After the craziness of Saturday- we ended our journey fittingly with a trip to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the Museum at Ground Zero- the 9/11 Memorial. God is with the USA in good times and He walks with us through evil as well.
   There are stories from each place, broken elevators, hiking down 18 flights of stairs, a life sized Pikachu, a bus stuck in a too short tunnel, wedding crashing, left behind on an island, and so much more. Those stories will have to wait. I’ve got lessons to prepare, fifth graders are waiting!
