New York is one of my favorite places. One of my favorite things to do in NYC is to ride the subway. Maybe it is because I don't get to do things like ride public transportation often but I love it! Central Park is less than a block from our hotel and that also makes me happy. I think a huge park in the middle of a city is always a good idea. It is also a good idea to have Kelly Clarkson come sing in said park! It was way cool to see Kelly(I refer to her as Kelly sometimes because we totally would be friends if we knew each other!) on Good Morning America. I also found it neat to see all thar goes into taping a live show. It rained a lot on us before the taping of the mini-concert and between breaks. For some reason, the rain seemed to stop for the show!
We also visited Liberty Island and Ellis Island. The Statue of Libery is phenominal close up. I saw her from the Staten Island Ferry years ago but being so far away from her lost the magic. Ellis Island was awesome and I was touched by the stories of families reuniting in America while I listened to the audio tour.
We also went to Times Square tonight and ate at the Hard Rock Cafe. It was way fun and I had a delicious burger. I still eat slow due to my tooth(or lack of) but the time it took to eat was well worth it!
I am tired and should now sleep. Getting up at five is hard. Getting up at five in a different time zone is even harder. So worth it to see the concert but nonetheless I must now sleep. Later!
