Our Class Trip
Our first day in New York,
we met our tour guide, Bruce, and went on a walking tour of 5th Avenue.
We made our way to the Top of the Rockefeller Center; the view was
amazing! After a quick trip to Times Square, we had supper at Buca di
Beppo. Following our meal, we all headed back to the hotel.
The next morning, we ate breakfast at the hotel and then
headed into the city. We all got on a ferry to take us to the Statue of
Liberty. It was a rainy and windy ride! After visiting the Statue of
Liberty, we went to Ellis Island. Both places were very interesting to
see. For lunch, we went back to a deli in Lower Manhattan. The food
was awesome! Following lunch, we visited the September 11th
Memorial and took a little tour of St. Paul's Chapel. After that, we
went to Ground Zero to see the memorial and plans for future buildings
and the new museum. Our class headed back to Times Square for a little
more shopping and we ate our evening meal at the Bubba Gump Shrimp
Company.
Day 3 in New York, we took a bus tour and Bruce pointed out
points of interest such as where certain movie stars reside. After
that, we went to Chinatown to do some shopping. That was fun!
Following Chinatown, we spent some time at the Grand Central Terminal
and ate lunch there. We even tried riding the subway~ In the
afternoon, we went to Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. Our dinner was at
the Hard Rock Cafe that evening, we did a little last minute shopping
in TImes Square, and walked to our Broadway Show "After Midnight." It was great! :)
Our last day in New York was a very full day! We started off
by visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Next, we walked through
Central Park and ate at the famous boathouse located within the park.
We continued our walking tour to the American Museum of Natural
History. After all the planned tours, we went to Macy's Herald Square
for some final shopping. We headed back for our 21 hour trek to Lester
Prairie that evening. It sure was a busy week, but we enjoyed our
class trip to New York!
