We had to be at the airport at 6am!! Mrs Logg, Isabelo Sicsic, Virginia Logg, Shannon Hoffman (in red), Summer Harden, Jen Diaz, Briana McCord, Heather Woods.


We stayed at the World Trade Center Marriot Hotel. The lobby of our hotel was right next to the lobby of the Twin Towers. Here, Rebecca Holliman sits by the fountain in the main lobby area.


One of the first things we did was go to Battery Park. This is the line to get on the ferry (which I was already on). Everyone in this line got on the ferry!


The first stop was the Statue of Liberty. It took quite a while and a lot of effort to make it to the crown, but we did!


View from the top of the pedestel at the line waiting to climb up the statue. Looks like we beat the rush!


There were beautiful tulips everywhere!! Which would make sense since Manahattan Island was originally settled by the Dutch.

We went to Ellis Island also, but I haven't scanned in pictures from that part yet.


After the ferry, we walked around town, and found Carnegie Hall, where we would be performing later that weekend.
back row: Becca, Eric, Mike, Shameka, Josh, Amy.
front row: Katy, SUmmer, Merry, Shannon, Briana, Isabelo.

We went to FAO Schwarz and rode around town on the double-decker bus, then stopped in Central Park for a while. We were entertained by the polar bears for quite some time. Here, Ida plays with a 5-gallon bucket while Gus swims laps.


For dinner one night, we went to the Jekyll and Hyde Club. Here, Amy happily stands next to a real skeleton while Shannon is just creeped out!


The club was lots of fun, but the scary masks on the wall were even scarier once they started singing to us! Seriously!


Me, Robert, Mike and Eric in the lobby of the Empire state building. We took the elevator up to the 86th floor observatory but it was dark outside so I didn't get any good pictures up there.


We rode the subway practically everywhere!
clockwise from top left:Jen H, Robert, Becky, Katy, Eric, Robert.

There's no boys in here, honest! :) Merry, Shameka, Briana, Becca and Amy, hiding Isabelo, who managed to peek over Becca's shoulder.


We sat in the LaGuardia airport for about 5 or 6 hours. Most slept. Here, clockwise from far left, Becky, Shannon, Isabelo, Amy and Becca play cards.
