Site Seeing in NYC

Dear travel diary:

Today I find myself walking around New York City, NY, USA.  The weather is beautiful and is perfect for a day of sight seeing! The drive in was nice, traffic was surprisingly light...even for NYC traffic.

I strolled all around central park again.  I love the statues and art that is all over the park.  The soup downtown is fantastic and with the amount of police in the area, you can't help but feel safe.

I even took the time to see a Broadway show and the statue of liberty!

And yes....you must take a ride on the subway.

Central Park, NYC

Dear Travel Diary:

I find myself strolling through Central Park in New York City. Today it was 72 degrees and sunny. A beautiful day to sun bath or take a carriage ride through the park.  The flowers are in bloom and the smell of the hot dog vender is in the air.

All around the park are wonderful statues; the big elephant is pretty cool.  Any day spent in a park, is a great day!

 

USS Intrepid Aircraft Carrier, NYC Docks

Dear travel diary;

Today I found myself on the deck of the aircraft carrier, USS Intrepid. This world war two ship has a proud history in the Pacific Theater. Surviving a torpedo attack and two kamikaze planes, she continued her service until decommissioned in 1974. During the attacks of 9/11, the carrier was used as a command post for the FBI.

Since the attacks, the carrier has been converted as an interactive museum. With displays on all levels of the ship, you can easily spend all day looking at everything. My favorites are the planes on the flight deck!
