Almost Over

Yep, Anthony's trip is almost over. Today is the last full day they have. He called both last night and this morning. This morning to ask what our relatives names where that came through Ellis Island. I got the last name right but not the first. How many Silvas can be on the list. lol

He says the Empire State building was very cool and New York is really busy. He cracked up at the guy on the corner yelling "I am the black Jesus." At Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, he bumped into what he thought was a wax person. He turn around a grabbed her so the figure wouldn't fall only to find out he was grabbing a real live person. He is very impressed with his hotel room. It has a computer, plasma tv and a view of the Brooklyn Bridge. The kids all thought that the Liberty bell was a fake because it was a lot smaller then they thought it would be.

His day today: Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, US Customs House, Trinity Church, Federal Hall, Wall Street, Ground Zero, St. Pauls Church, Broadway to see "Wicked" and Rockefeller Center.

Tomorrow: Midtown Manhattan, Rockefeller Center, St Patricks Cathedral, NBC Store, Fifth Ave., Trump Tower, Tiffanys, NBA Store (where the bulk of Anthony's money will be spent) , FAO Schwarz, then to the airport and home.

What are we doing for the last couple of days? Who cares, it's not as exciting.
