New Jersey and New York :)

In no particular order, pictures from my trip. Some of them, like the picture of the Wall St sign were just because they reminded me of dad. =)  We took a ride on one of the double story busses where you can sit on top and see the sites as they drive.  That took forever, so we decided the subway was the better way to travel while there.
Wall St
City Lights
A Giant Bottle of Daddies Ketchup anyone?

When we were teaching the lessons to the rest of the class, I was nervous, so my classmates wrote this for me and stuck it to my computer for encouragement. :)
