MJ-Upbeat Trip To New York 2006/2007

.

We decided to travel to New York City by car to see MJ fan Valerie Tobias. We also wanted to go to Times Square and see the ball drop to bring in the New Year. (unfortunately, by the time we got to New York, we were too tired), but we did see Valerie, Ground Zero, The Empire State Building, (from the outside), the statue of Liberty, (from the outside) and the Dakota where John Lennon had lived before he was shot. We also saw Radio City Music Hall and some other cool things. Times Square was AWESOME!
