We Made It!!!!

 
 
Friday July 5th
 
WE MADE IT !!!!!
 
 
We slept in again and there is something to say about getting caught up on our sleep. Wade and Sara, especially Sara, has had a hard time getting adjusted to the time change, not sleeping on the plane didn't help either, and just being on the go has finally caught up.  We went to find a little something to eat since we were still kind of full from the big clam bake the night before,  Then Tommy picked us up and we were off to the big city of New York. 
 


 
 
We parked the car, then started straight to the place we were having lunch.  It was Churrascaria Plataforma, a Brazilian restaurant, and it was wonderful.  Then we headed out to shop and see the sights.
 
 
Our first stop was to take a picture of us in Times Square, the starting place of the East tour of the Lincoln Highway, and our goal to end our trip from the west.
 
 
We had made it, our goal of driving across country from the west coast to the east coast!  Time to celebrate, time to shop!!!!
 
We walked several blocks and could not believe the amount of people, how tiny the streets are and how bright the signs were.
 
 
 
We even got  pictures of some fun characters
 
 
 
 
 
After doing quite a bit of shopping, we finally arrived at our next destination.
 
 
 
 
YES! It was finally time to go the  Winter Garden to see a Broadway production!  One of my favorite movies was Mamma Mia!  And now we were going to see it on Broadway.  This theater is beautiful, and the pictures don't do it justice.
 
 
 
And the production didn't disappoint us. It was wonderful.
 
 
As we were walking to the parking garage, we took a few pictures of Times Square at night. Beautiful!
 
 
Actually, this one was taken earlier
 
 
 
Then we drove to the site of the old twin towers and got this wonderful photo of the Freedom Tower
 
 
 
 
 
Spectacular!!!
 
And this ended our wonderful day in New York.  We arrived back to our hotel about 2 am, and that is why this post is being put on the blog today! 
 
We sure hope you enjoyed your trip with us. If there is anything you get from this blog and trip is hopefully the desire to get out and see AMERICA,  because our great country ROCKS!!
 
 
Sincerely, your weary travelers
 
 
Vaughn and Nelda
