We did all the touristy things today - after breakfast in a local diner we headed to the Rockefeller centre; lovely views. Then we caught one of those open top buses and headed to the Empire State Building, again, lovely views - we were a little ripped off by the guy who sold us a ticket for the ride in a simulator that apparently would enable us to skip all the lines for the Empire State Building - it was pure fabrication, we still had to wait just as long as everyone else!
Then on to Ground Zero - they will be opening the memorial on 9/11 this year - it will be worth coming back to visit that. It was interesting that Lauren is too young to even know what 9/11 is all about - it's hard to believe there are people that don't know much about it.
After that, we waited ages to get back onto the tour bus, but they were all too full, so we ended up all squeezing into a cab (I'm sure that's illegal) - and finally we finished the day with dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. All in all, a great day!
The first couple of photo's are Lauren and Georgia on the red steps at Times Square:
A perfect day!

The squishing into the cab....
...and a pooped Lauren at the end of the day:
A perfect day!
