Thanksgiving in New York City

Well, this morning the alarm went off at 6am. We almost never rest on vacation.
The children are even exhausted!


We got on the first cruise to the Statue of Liberty.


It was a cold trip to the Statue of Liberty.

We took a carriage ride through Central Park.


It was cold but relaxing. We were all tired from walking all over the city.
