The Big Apple

This past weekend I had the opportunity to go on a New York vacation and to see a broadway play. I had never been to NY before and couldn't believe all the things you could see and do. We started our tour of the city in New Jersey where we boarded the ferry for Liberty Island to see the Statue of Liberty.
What a beautiful sight. To see her in person is so much better than the pictures. Next we board a ferry again and traveled to Battery Park where we saw street performers and venders. We had dinner and then a trip to the Empire State Building for a view of the city at night.
The next day was a bus tour of the city where we got to see Rockefeller Center, Ground Zero and many other sites.
Next was our trip to see Legally Blonde on Broadway at the Palace Theater. Bailey Hanks who plays the lead in Legally Blonde as Elle Woods is from my home town of Anderson, SC. It was a wonderful show and she even came out after the show to sign autographs for her hometown crowd.
Our trip ended with a quick stop in Washington, DC to see the WWII Memorial. What a wonderful trip. I met lots of new friends and saw lots of wonderful sites. I can't wait to visit the big city again in the future.
