Big Apple!

No TURKEY for Thanksgiving this year! We had an APPLE! A BIG Apple. We went to New York. We had such a wonderful time. We went to all the tourist hot spots and even did some shopping too. Some of my family from Kentucky were part of a 4H group that was in NYC the same time we were. This allowed us to spend some time with them. Watching the Macy's day parade with them was a highlight.

Some other highlights... 
     Girls playing on the big floor piano at FAO Schwarz
     Going to the Tiffany Store and buying a few things
     Dylan's Candy Shop
     Eating a hot dog on the street
     Riding in a subway
     Statue of Liberty
     Memorial for the World Trade Centers
     Going to Harlem!  
Yep! That is right....we got off on the wrong stop and ended up in Harlem. It took us a couple of blocks to realize what we had done. Then a nice lady approached us to help guide us back to the subway. Apparently she could tell we were in the wrong area. :) But believe it or not Harlem was one of the cleanest areas we saw.

Here are some pictures to show our fun...
