New York City Day 3

Thursday we went downtown to the financial district. We saw Ground Zero and walked part way across the Brooklyn Bridge. Then we ventured into China Town and had some great Chinese food for lunch. After that we went to the Statue of Liberty. That night we met some friends from College, Matt and Kendra Cope and their 2 girls, in Central Park. It was great to catch up with them. Tanner, Garret and I went back to the apartment while Kirt and Katie had a date in Times Square. Katie wanted to go souvenir shopping. They also had hot cocoa and found a Toys R Us that had a ferris wheel inside it.

Ground Zero
Katie was so grouchy, we just had to capture the moment
Brooklyn Bridge
The Empire State Building is in the background. For some reason Garret decided that he wanted to be a "Statue of Liberty" in a lot of these pictures.
Katie and Garret didn't want Chinese food so we bought them a hot dog from a street vendor.
