A Friday afternoon Manhattan skyline. Central Park is the most beautiful sight in New York, in close competition with five floors of Barnes and Noble across from the Lincoln Center. This view was had from the fourth floor of the American Museum of Natural History.
This was the view inside. Doesn't he have the friendliest face? I felt right at home.
Things like this help keep long days in perspective.
This was my first viewing of a real t-rex! Who doesn't love dinosaurs? They make you feel excited like a six-year-old again.
The sky was blue and the sun was shining on Friday while I visited a school and a museum...
...and when it was time to play outside on Saturday, it snowed! South end of Central Park, just past Poet's Walk.
Clint is a true New Yorker - he doesn't even look like he feels the wind!
Chinatown, where we enjoyed a meal whose authenticity cost us our appetites. However, never underestimate the power of cheap, plastic memorabilia, Skittles, and getting lost on the way to the Brooklyn Bridge to salvage an experience.
The pedestrian walkway on Brooklyn Bridge. Two tips: 1) don't look down between the wooden slats. 2) Wear cleats when it snows, though it's pretty funny if the person walking next to you doesn't. :)
Forgive all of the skyline shots. They're breathtaking! I woke up Sunday morning and here this one was waiting.
The city north of Central Park was surprisingly quiet - no honking, just sirens.
5th Avenue on its way up into Harlem. I think.
After New York I quickly jaunted up to Boston to visit a school. If BYU built as beautifully as that, they too, could charge $40,000 for tuition!
What is it that is so appealing in old, stone things? And religious things, even if they don't belong to my religion. These reliefs stood for Faith, Family, and Country.
It didn't cost anything to walk around Boston College and enjoy the beauty of it all. It's the only college aside from BYU where I've seen a dad pulling two kids on a sled across campus.
