First trip into New York City (outside the womb)

Benjamin did great on our trip into the city. We took the ferry over to the statue and Ellis Island, saw the new Yankee Stadium, saw ground zero, and even saw the mayor speaking in Battery Park. It was the first day of his life Benjmain did not take a nap. Poor guy was so tuckered out by the end of the day--not to mention the rest of us!



Freedom from the backpack! (This was taken on Liberty Island, where the Statue is.)


"Yeah Yankees!" as Benjamin would say. This is in front of the new stadium. We also saw the old one--they're starting the demolition process. We saw a jackhammer, and a forklift truck there--huge highlights for one member of our group!
