One World Trade Center Observatory

Back to our old touring ways.  C is in upstate New York with his parents on a week long vacation.  He went hiking and swimming today, so he's in high cotton. 

Drake and I are also ecstatic!  We get a week off - after our first time to keep C overnight, and for the weekend.

We thought about taking a cruise to Bermuda, but that's four days on a BOAT and three days on land - not my idea of a good time.  We also thought about going out onto Long Island, but instead we decided to play around Manhattan.  Believe me, you never, ever run out of new things to do.

Monday, we just rested and puttered.  Today, we took ourselves off to TKTS - the discount ticket outlet for Broadway shows.  There's one at the Seaport (far south Manhattan island - the Battery area).  It's also the World Trade Center area where the 911 Memorial and the Observatory on top of One World Trade Center.  We'd already been to the Memorial, so we decided to take in the Observatory because it was a bright and sunny day.

The Observatory is 1200 feet up.  100 stories above the street. 

There were wonderful views of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island  

as well as the Brooklyn Bridge

Of course, the observatory is all about the views of Manhattan, New Jersey, and Brooklyn.

Oh, and we scored half price tickets to Oklahoma! at TKTS.  The show is a hot musical revival on Broadway.
