My dad and I went to New York for fun a few weeks ago since I had a free ticket there that I had to use. Here are some of the highlights if you're interested...
Can you spot me? We were there for the oldest and longest parade in America, the St. Patrick's Day Parade. It's like ten years older that the Declaration of Independence. This is a picture from the viewpoint of my dad who was actually marching in the parade with some other firefighters from Hayward.
These NY firemen each are holding a flag for a man lost on 9/11, there were about 343 of them.
Dad and I met up after he finished marching. I was so proud.
Down in the Battery Park area we found this sculpture that used to be at the World Trade Center. It was pulled from the wreckage and is now on display to show a piece of the destruction from that day.
One of the coolest things I saw was this little tavern. Its the place where George Washington himself said farewell to his men after the Revolutionary War.
We saw all of the city thanks to this awesome hop-on hop-off bus tour. It was a little chilly on top though.
We stayed with my cousins who live in Harlem just down the street from the world famous Apollo Theater so we went there for Amateur Night which was definitely an experience. We got to boo a few people off stage. I felt kinda bad about that but it was too fun to stop.
For a 360 degree view of the city we went to the Top of the Rock, it was FrEEEzing!
In conclusion, I really love New York. Everything that happens, happens in this City. There's always places to go, people to see. I really don't know when people sleep there, but I love it.
Were else do you get to hear such acts as the Ebony Hillbillies, only in New York.

What a nice daddy-daughter trip to NYC. What a nice tribute to firefighters. What nice shots of the city and you. What did Brady do while you were gone? Missed you, of course. What nice memories. We can see why you like NYC.
looks like an awesome trip!
