Our Journey Day 1

We left Salt lake last night at 11:50.  Our good friend Michael Porter drove us through snow and bad roads to drop us off at the airport.  We actually left early and arrived in New York this morning at 5:45. We had a delay for a while as we waited for the luggage storage facility to open up, then we were off!

Max Brenners for breakfast!!  

If you have never been this is a Chocolate Restaurant.  Basically they serve chocolate with everything.  They even give you a nice dish of melted chocolate just in case you have not got enough in the regular course of eating.  It was a great meal, but not something I could do very often.  I ordered the Italian Thick Hot Chocolate.  It seemed like they just melted down chocolate bars and served it.

Battery Park

We then took the subway down to Battery Park to get a look at the Statue of Liberty.  There are some really nice pieces of landscape art that Cindy just loved!

Central Park

What would a trip to New York be without going to Central Park.  This is obviously one of Cindys favorite places in the world as it is the birthplace of modern Landscape Architecture.  The kids had a great time playing on the rocks and just running around.  We are now getting ready to get on another overnight flight, here is to hoping I learn how to sleep on airplanes very quickly!!  Otherwise I will be going on 3 days without sleep. I will post more when I get a minute.
