NEW YORK CITY - OCTOBER, 2013

When I went to visit Michael and Brooke we took a weekend trip to New York City. We stayed across the Hudson River in Jersey City, New Jersey. The hotel was a short walk from the river, and we could see Manhattan from the window in our room.  A short walk to the PATH train station, and we were just one stop away from downtown New York. These are some pictures taken from the New Jersey side, across the Hudson River, with New York City in the background.

On the night that we spent in New Jersey, Michael and I went to a hockey game. We took the train to Newark and viewed the game between the New Jersey Devils and the Vancouver Canucks. It felt strange not cheering for the L.A. Kings at the game.

The next morning we all took the train to Lower Manhattan, then walked across the Brooklyn Bridge, and then walked to Brooklyn Heights where we had lunch, then caught the subway to Battery Park where we took the Staten Island Ferry to Staten Island. From Brooklyn Heights you have a terrific view of the east side of Manhattan Island, and of course on the ferry ride to Staten Island you have great views of lower Manhattan, and of the Statue of Liberty.

 

 

I had a great time on our trip to New York City, and I always enjoy the time I am able to spend with Michael, Brooke, Mick and Zoe.
