Day 4: Hello, New York

We left Philadelphia today, but not before visiting one last Philadelphia landmark, the Liberty Bell. The Liberty Bell made for a good reminder of all that the city symbolizes, and all that our country has become. The statehouse bell that once rang as a call to attend a reading of the Declaration of Independence, will forever remind us of how important it is to fight for and keep the freedom earned by those who came before us.

After managing the white-knuckled drive into New York City, we found our hotel and hopped on a bus to see some of the city. We traversed some of the famous streets of New York and earned some sore necks searching for the horizon.

Not to be outdone, we splurged for an elevator ride to the top of the iconic Empire State Building. We found the Brooklyn Bridge, Lady Liberty, One World Trade Center (pictured), and yes, the coveted horizon.  It maybe hard to tell, but Katie was not thrilled with our distance from street level.

Tomorrow calls for rain, but here's hoping it is not a washout.
