Given Scott's career in finance it was exciting for us to visit THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE! Wow...it was there, on Wall Street...it was amazing to see these places that I have read about or seen in movies. To actually walk on Wall Street was just cool!!
Here is Scott....on the corner of Wall Street! Cool!
This was a cool tree outside of the Trinity Church in NY. This was the church that was in the movie National Treasure, so we had to go see it. We like that movie and our older kids have seen it too so it was fun to see the church where the treasure is buried. (In the movie that is!)
The Trinity Church...really pretty in the middle of the busy city!
We were planning to go to the 9/11 Memorial while in NY. Scott thought it was similar to memorials he had been to in DC...however it was not. There was a 2 week waiting period for tickets and there was a lot of security so we couldn't even get close to it! Sad!! So
instead I took a few photos of the new Freedom tower that is being built on Zero.
We drove by the Freedom Tower in our rental car later on so I got a more closeup photo.
It was humbling to be at Ground Zero and to think of the sacrifices made by so many that tragic day.

I love the graveyard at the Trinity Church. That is such a neat part of town. And I don't know if I would call that piece of art a "tree". I would call it, "cluster of arteries":)
