Even though we had pre-scheduled our visit...(since they make you pre-schedule your visit for crowd control reasons) ... the crowd was out of control!! There were 3 lines that all went to the same place at different speeds for no apparent reason... Chaos!! Brayden would have been furious with the disorganization in these lines!! After the separation, merging, re-separation, then remerging of the lines we finally got into the memorial.
It is very serene and beautiful - although the museum is NOT open yet...
The memorial fountain is amazing. I can't wait to visit again when all of the new WTC buildings at built and the museum is accessible! It will be amazing. This is the "survivor tree". They found the stump at ground zero and the replanted it. After it was replanted it was damaged by a storm but survived that as well! It's in good health and re-rooting at the new WTC complex.
We followed up the WTC memorial with a trip to Wall Street! Since it was Sunday it was pretty dead.
After Wall Street we took the obligatory bull photo! Except the line was HUGE!!! Ps... Who knew that people actually lined up to take photos in New York! :-O
So I took a random photo with the head...
And brad took a random photo with the bum...
Yeah... We were done with lines for the day.....
We were pretty tired from our long day but headed to battery park to check out the Statue of Liberty from a better vantage point!
We also discovered it is impossible for me to move my hands as directed...
Time for a nap!!!
