Yes - we have seen and done so much in the last week or so!
Boston tour of the city, Plymouth, where the Mayflower landed, New York City where we visited the American Museum of Natural History, Central Park, Battery Park, Ground Zero, Broadway, saw the Empire State building , the Chrysler building, hung out at Times Square during the Yankees game, ate in Chinatown, and walked a long way! We took the water taxi the first day and the subway the next day. We were in an RV park in Liberty Harbor, so the New Jersaysubway took us to 33rd St, and we transfered to the NY subway up to 81st. Cool to think you are underneath the Hudson River! The water taxi was great and went right from the RV park to Wall Street. We walked so much that all of us had very sore feet!
We spent one day at Ellis Island and Liberty Island, touring the Statue of Liberty, whose actual name as I learned is 'Liberty Enlightening the World' We were the only ones waiting at the Ranger point, so we got a private tour, just the 4 of us! I learned a lot about the statue and I have learned that Americans love their monuments, especially those depicting liberty and freedom.
Yesterday we toured Washington, and saw all the must see spots - the White House, (including a mototcade which kept us on the curb and traffic stopped for over 15 minutes. The motorcade was returning to the White House and was heavily armed and consisted of at least 10 vehicles, the caboose being an ambulance. We took video, and I may have to figure out how to post it.)
the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, Reflecting Pool, Korean War Memorial, Smithsonian, Capitol Hill, The Potomac River, I am sure I have missed things. Very cool to be all the places you have only seen on TV and in the news!
Right now, we are in Virginia Beach, sitting in a Starbucks, feels a bit like work days, but then again not quite! I have to get a few groceries, then cook dinner. Damian is doing school and Dillon is in the RV with Todd doing the same. Todd is watching a football game as there are quite a few channels where we are now.
Take care everyone and Happy Birthday to my Mom!
