Back to the trip

So finally some time to put up more pictures of the trip. On Thursday July 1st we took the Staten Island Ferry boat over. There is no cost to take the ferry boat, that seems such a foreign concept to me. Great views of the city, it was a nice day and not too much heat again.

After the ferry ride we took the subway up a few stations and then walked over to the Brooklyn Bridge. There were a lot of other people doing the same thing as us. There were also plenty of joggers and bike riders going across. Kent and Erik went up further than me, I just stood around and people watched :)
Next we took the subway up to the Bronx and went to Yankee Stadium. This is only the 2nd season for this stadium. It was nice but actually I think Safeco Field is better,

. We managed to go when the Seattle Mariners were in town. The Mariners won the 2 previous nights at Yankee Stadium but they lost the game we went to. But it was really cool to be at Yankee Stadium though!

In the late afternoon and evening we went back to the Rockefeller Center and looked at the 'Big Apple' that was completed.

We also got into the Lego store and they had a lot of displays with their legos. This 'Monster' ran throughout the store.
