Day 13 - South Manhattan Skyline

Last day of sightseeing, so headed right down on the bus to the bottom of Manhattan and grabbed the (free!!!) Staten Island Ferry.

This gives some great views of the Statue of Liberty (too obvious for a Blip).

Coming back, we got a great view of the South Manhattan Skyline.

Jumped on a subway train up to 20th street for one last ballet shop. Then walked (22 blocks!) up to Grand Central Station.

This could also have generated another 10 Blips!

There was a brilliant food court in Grand Central Market.

It was getting late in the afternoon - so time to head (yet again!) to Times Square. KT and K got tickets for Pippin.

The boys gave that a body swerve (with the excuse of saving money:)).

Dinner was at John's Pizzeria which had some pretty huge pizzas (we only managed 2 between 4 of us!).

The next trip was down to 34th street to let he boys see one of the biggest Music Shops in NYC.

There was a drum kit on display with 4 bass drums, 3 snares, 16 toms, 8 octabans. I wonder if this would do Mr KillerQueen for his 50th?

They also had Jaco Pastorius' custom Hartke Speaker Cabinet (same make as my current bass amp).

After that we split and let the girls go to their musical, and the boys headed to BB King's Blues Club.. There was an interesting list of recent bands. We had just missed Phil Keaggy 2 weeks ago and Stryper. Who knew they were still going.

The boys then took a last walk up to times square to see it in the dark, then headed home to the hotel. The girls arrived an hour later.
