Photo Album - 2001 New York City Vacation

01 September 2002

We visited New York City for 2001 Fourth of July weekend. We were able to visit most of the tourist spots, including spending a bit of time atop the World Trade Center and the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, visited the USS Intrepid museum, joined the crowd at the Today Show, went to the Haydn Planetarium and Museum of Natural History, and from the visitors gallery saw the closing bell on the New York stock exchange. We took the Amtrak train down and liked it, and treated ourselves to a stay at the Waldorf-Astoria. Here are pictures from that trip.
