Very first on all of our lists, of course, was to say a big "hi-ya" to our resident two (almost three) year old.
The three hour Circle Line boat ride around the entire island of Manhattan is a great introduction to this wonderful city. And here we go!
One of the popular cruise lines had a ship in dock today so thought we would take a photo of it. These ships seem to get larger and larger.
The photographer and the photographed captured by Dad.
On a balcony in the seaport. Taking in the view.
And here is Mom acting like a sightseeing guide (or trying to).
In Times Square with her Dad.
We found Wall Street and DeaSha found the best part (?) of the famous Wall Street bull.
It was warm today and someone was enjoying sipping on her soda. (pretty isn't she?)
In the background is the Brooklyn Bridge. Under the bridge is one of four man-made waterfalls that are part of a public art exhibit. The falls are lit at night and will be up until October.
This photo is at the Fulton Market/Seaport area. We visit there often and wanted to show it to DeaSha.
Our Circle Line cruise took us past the Statue of Liberty. We learned that the sculptor used the body of his mistress as a model and put his mother's head on top. Interesting!
There are a variety of street performers around town. Some are the Statue of Liberty, one is a bronzed angel with huge wings that open up but this bronze cowboy caught our eye. He, as all of the others do too, had a wooden box in front of where he was standing for people to put in a donation. When you put money in the box he moves. One time a small boy put money in. The cowboy gestured for the boy to come near and they then had a slow motion draw down and shoot out. Well, DeaSha put a dollar in his box and then walked away. He ran after her, caught her arm, tipped his hat and posed for the photo below.
DeaSha was a little surprised at this photo opportunity but reacted graciously.
This is inside of Toys R Us. In the background is the operating 3-story tall ferris wheel.
DeaSha does not appear to be concerned about being under this giant dinosaur inside of Toys R Us. He is automated, roars, opens and closes his mouth and moves his head side to side.
