Vacation Part 2: New Jersey Hike & Night 1 in NYC




We hiked around a lake near Elena & Michael's house. We thought the trail went right around the lake, but we definitely got lost and the trails weren't marked very well. Thankfully we got to a place with cell service and downloaded a map and found our way out. We met a few others who were lost too. At least the scenery was nice!


Drove up to North Jersey & parked the car then took a ferry over to NYC. 


On the ferry.


There was a lion statue, just like the ones here in CR!


An air/space museum with a Star Trek exhibit. 




This flag is made up of patches of other flags from different places around the US.


Actual stairs that people used climbing out of the building.



These are all from the 9/11 museum. It was a place I think everyone should go to. 


Reflecting pool.


The new WTC. We didn't have time to go up to the top on this trip.


Someone left a flower by this name. There were other names that had flags on them, too.


So many cool buildings in NYC!


This is the view from our apartment we stayed in. We were in a really great location!


A few blocks down we found ice cream and brownies!


And we accidentally got off the subway in Times Square, which was 3 blocks from our apartment. We got to be masters of the subway system, which is much easier in NYC than other big cities I've been to. Thank God for Google maps--we didn't ever get lost!
