I made it to NYC!

I lived 5 hours away from NYC for 16 years and never had the opportunity to visit. I was so excited to go with Ami! Ami was a super tour guide and I have lots of good pictures to share. I won't comment on every picture since some speak for themselves!


Lots of taxis in the streets!
The picture above shows that we were in the fashion district! I thought this was great!
Below, this picture was taken at Mood. This is the store shown on TV. It was overwhelming how much was for sale there in the store.


Above, a city view including the Dow Jones prices for the day.....


The two pictures above were taken on Time Square. It was so little and just a regular intersection. I was surprised. The big ball drops on New Year's Eve just above where I was standing in front of the police station.

Toys R Us had this Ferris wheel inside the store. I loved the Little People chair the best. It was so cute!

I felt very safe in NYC.....



I'm at the Rockefeller Center and the ice skating rink is in the background. This ice skating rink is about the same size as the ice skating rink in Portland at the Lloyd Center Mall. The picture below was taken at the same location.



The picture above shows where the Today Show is filmed each morning. It's the room on the bottom floor. Again, this is just a small room and not nearly as big as it appears on TV.


The picture above is for Charity since she loves this store.

The Empire State building above.
I loved the advertising for Macy's below with the huge shopping bag!







Men were waiting for someone to come play
chess with them.































The subway...............













Walking on the streets of Chinatown... I bought a watch and some jewelry.








Chinatown - a typical store!





To go to NYC, we left at 6 am and returned at 10 pm. It was snowing as we left NYC. We had a full day and a great day. We saw the sights shown in this blog posting and also went to a book store. I had a terrific time. Thanks to Ami for making it all happen! One more of my dreams came true last week!

Great trip. I've been to NY but didn't see all that much. Did you see Central Park?
