NYC

We went to New York City this past weekend. I had Fall Break (best thing ever!) and Stephen wanted to go out to network. I kind of tagged along. We had a lot of fun seeing the city, it is so different from our life now. It's a HUGE city on a tiny island

Mary was our tour guide for the morning - THANK YOU!

Cool sculpture at the Met

Central Park then city

 The 9/11 memorial is really nice. They have about 17,000 visitors each day! It was packed. The new tower is HUGE, bigger than the Twin towers.

There are two of these memorials, one for each tower

times square

Manhattan

(see the Freedom Tower, HUGE hu?!)

This friend of Mary's makes patterns - so cool!

Stephen wanted to know if I could live there -

Yes, because the Rack is closer to me there than here in Utah
