We also got an up-close view of the Statue of Liberty at night.

It was a little cold out on the boat.

On our last night in New York, we took a harbor lights boat cruise. The building lit up red and white is the Empire State Building.

This is Belvedere Castle. 

Here we are on top of Belvedere Castle, which overlooks Central Park. 

Shelby enjoyed getting out and finally stretching her legs. 

We let Shelby roam around at the Turtle Pond which is next to the Great Lawn. There were actually turtles in the pond, who knew? 

Shelby spent some time feeding the ducks. A lady was there with bread for the ducks. She gave some to Shelby. After Shelby made two attempts to throw the bread in the water, she ate it herself. 

We spent this morning in Central Park. This is the Jackie Kennedy Onasis Resevoir. Central Park is huge with lots of trees and several small lakes. 

Here is the New York Stock Exchange. The area is mostly off limits to vehicle traffic. This is on Wall St. These streets are extremely narrow. 

We went by the Police Musem again. The musuem is a converted old police station. 

The ferry ride was free and gave us great photo opportunities. 

On day three, we hopped on the subway and went south to Battery Park. We then caught the Staten Island Ferry for a closer view of the Statue of Liberty. 

I'm sure glad that I've never had to drive a baby blue police car. 

I never thought I'ld ever be on that side of the booking numbers! 

Maybe too good of a time. 

After the girls took custody of Shelby, Rick and I went to the Police Musem. We had a good time. 

We all met back at the hotel so Shelby could get a nap. She was feeling under dressed so, after a wardrobe change, she looked more like a local. 

Denise, standing in front of the Friends apartment building.

Look familiar? It didn't to me until Denise told me that this is the front door to the Huxtable home from the Cosby Show.

This is the Empire Diner. It was used in the great TV show, Third Watch.

Denise and Cathy went on a movie tour, stopping at several locations used in TV shows and movies. Here is the Trump Tower. After visiting it, Denise told me, "Your fired!" I quickly pointed out to her that she couldn't fire me. She immediately recanted!

Shelby and me on the deck of the aircraft carrier. 

Rick next to an F-4 Fantom, the type of plane he used to fly in the Navy. 

On day #2, we ventured out separately. Shelby, Rick and I went out to the USS Intrepid museum.
