RyAn's Trip to NYC

Jamie is making me post about my trip to New York City. I went to New York for a marketing conference at the coolest place's in New York. It was right by the ocean at the bottom of the island (West side) overlooking the Statue of Liberty. I stayed in a Hotel right by the Brooklyn bridge which is on the East side and I walked to the conference each day. I'd walk down Wall Street with everyone else in New York in the morning and by the World Trade Center (Ground Zero). It was a lot of fun living the New York life.



 

Ground Zero. They are going to build the second tallest building in the world. 

This is Central Park right across the street from the Plaza Hotel



 "Grab life by the horns" . . . that's the motto I live by, that's why this picture fits me so well.

The VP of Marketing at my company was a consultant to Ellis Island so he go us on a boat that the employees take over before all the crowds. We were on the island by ourselves for over an hour walking around. My VP knew a lot about the island which made it even cooler. Other than the fact that I had super bad Hay Fever it was a fun day.




This is what some of fore fathers slept on when they got here. I couldn't believe it. The sad thing is that this was probably better then being on the boats.







The top of the Empire State building. I hated every second I was up there.


East Side on top of the Empire State.



The highlight of the my trip. Going to the Apple store on 5th avenue.

Time Square.
