Day 4

Yesterday we started in DC and ended up in NYC. We decided that since the DC Mall was going to be full of runners, cars and buses that we should take the DC Metro into town. What a great experience that was. It took about 40 minutes with one transfer to a different train. It was clean and really easy to use. I think all the kids really liked the adventure of taking a metro in a gigantic city.

In the evening we ate at a great deli where the food was amazing. Then we saw 39 Steps on Broadway and Times Square. I don't think the kids could believe the amount of people there.

A full day in NYC! Today was great and jam packed with the sights, sounds, and smells of NYC. We started the day with a guided sightseeing tour centered in Lower Manhattan. The World Trade Center site and memorial moved us to tears.

We will see everyone (carpoolers) tomorrow at the PHX airport. Our flight arrives at 10:30 pm and I will try and update this blog while we are in transit to keep everyone informed.
