But Wait, There's More...Walking

Might I also add that Big N' Tasty's DON'T EXIST at McDonald's here in New York!! What the heck is up with that!? Disappointing to say the least. But on a happier note. We have managed to hunt down Dr. Pepper in the city. It didn't exist in Chicago.

Yesterday, Taylor, Jayson, and I made the trek down to Battery Park and Ground Zero. Taylor saw the Statue of Liberty for the first time from a far. I had a heart attack almost having a personal encounter with a couple boa constrictors in Battery Park. I thought I was in the clear then I had second heart attack running into some more creepy snakes. I vow never to go to Battery Park again...maybe. For those that know me, its my BIGGEST fear ever! I'm getting anxiety just writing about it.

Moving on. We walked over to Ground Zero to see the progress they are making on the Freedom Tower. They are giving that whole area a face lift - its looking great. When I was there eight months ago there was still a big hole in the ground, but its all filled in now.

We took a break from walking and sat in chairs that over-looked the Hudson. It was absolutely a beautiful day. Probably high 80s and blue skies. It was a nice break from work.

On our way home, Taylor got eye balled up and down by some chick.

We wanted to dine on a rooftop, but after looking for hours on the Internet where to go we gave up and just settled for some Chinese food.

I was worn out from all the walking (we walk miles and miles every day) so I went home, but Taylor and Jayson went to Times Square. Not sure if you heard, but there was a bomb threat that shut down Times Square last night. No one was hurt and Taylor made it back safely :)

One last thing, Taylor and I are proud to say we attended all three hours of church today. If you were just walking down the street you probably wouldn't even notice the church building - its like the Leaky Cauldron in Harry Potter. Its just in a regular New York building, but looks like a Mormon church inside. We were disappointed that we only have 40 people, maybe 50, in our ward. I'm use to 300 people!

After church we went into a coma for four hours then took a walk over to Central Park. Its been a lovely Sunday.
