Have I mentioned recently that I love NYC?! Well I do. First thing Saturday morning Melinda and I (the two birthday girls) made our way to lower Manhattan where we took the Staten Island Ferry so that we could see the Statue of Liberty from afar. We would have gone to it but it was closed due to the government shutdown. (Kara and Stephanie were awesome and waited in line (while we went to the ferry) to get matinee tickets for that day for all of us.)
I liked this building near the entrance of Staten Island Ferry.
Lady Liberty!

Manhattan!
If you look closely you can see the Statue of Liberty in the background.
We had a bit of time after the ferry ride before we had to meet up with Kara and Stephanie, so we went to Battery Park, which is super close to the ferry landing. I really liked the park! We didn't get to see it all, but the part we did see was pretty cool! In the picture above is the Navy memorial. The walls on the sides have names of Navy men killed in action.
I have never seen a statue like this before. It's the American Merchant Mariner's Memorial dedicated to those American merchant marines who lost their lives at sea.
Battery Park!
Our matinee show this day was Once with Arthur Darvill and Joanna Christie. (Another blogpost to come later about the shows we saw while there.)
I also love Central Park! On this trip we went to a different part of the park than I have been to before and I loved that part too.
We saw Belvedere Castle in Central Park.
The view from the castle!
Central Park!
Still Central Park!
Look how large that bubble is!
To end our awesome second day in NYC, we saw Newsies, which I absolutely loved! What a lovely end to another day in the Big Apple.

New York is so fun! So many things to do there - and so much history.
