Picture from my trip to New York City & Philadelpha!


Flying to New York City!!


This plane was in a holding pattern with us when we were trying to land in LaGuardia. We circled the state of New York for about a half hour!


Times Square!! Well...a very small portion of it!


Paul McCartney's guitar in the Hard Rock Cafe New York.


Billy Joel's motorcycle at the HRC


The view looking down from our hotel room.


Rockefeller Center on a rainy night. You couldn't even see the top this night because it was in the clouds!


Ann Curry & Matt Lauer!!


Matt & I at the Today Show!


Me & Matt Lauer's cardboard alter-ego!


Facing south from the top of Rockefeller Center. The tall building is the Empire State Building!


Matt & I at the top of Rockefeller Center


New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden.


A piece of skyline from Central Park.


Don't let this fool you...It's not a statue but a REAL PERSON!!


A girl's favorite store...TIFFANY'S!! I didn't go in... :(


St. Patrick's Cathedral


The Winter Garden Theatre where we saw Mamma Mia!


Matt & I waiting to go inside the theatre.


Times Square at night! If you look closely near the top of the billboards in the middle you can see the ball that drops on New Year's Eve!


Matt & I walking around Times Square.


A steel beam from the World Trade Centers.


This is where the Towers stood...


This was the sculpture that was in the Plaza of the Twin Towers. It got pretty beat up when the Towers fell. It is now in Battery Park.


A smart pigeon warming itself by the eternal flame in front of the above sculpture.


Lady Liberty! It was VERY foggy & cloudy that day so we didn't even want to go to the top.


Walking on the Brooklyn Bridge!


The cars below us on the Brooklyn Bridge. This is probably my favorite picture of all the pictures I took on the trip.


The Philadelphia 76ers at the Wachovia Center!


A soldier's hut from the American Revolution.


More huts!


Inside a hut. They each housed 12 soldiers.


The Liberty Bell!


Independence Hall!!


That is the ACTUAL chair that George Washington sat in when they were framing the Constitution!


Benjamin Franklin's grave.


Matt's cousin's dog, Max. He is a deer-type Chihuahua! I want one!

Great pictures. The one looking down from your hotel room makes me dizzy.
