Dereck "surprised" me for my 30th birthday and took me to NYC! What a man! I hate surprises so I squeezed it out of him before we went. We had a wonderful time! We stayed with Dereck's friend, Steve L., a couple of nights and took the train into Manhattan. The last night we stayed across the street from the Rockefeller Center, which was way cool.
We packed as much as we could into 2 1/2 days. We took the subway and walked everywhere, which is pretty easy as the island is not very wide. We really wanted to take the ferry over to the Statue of Liberty, but the line was a couple of hours long and we didn't want to waste minutes, so here we are at Battery Park where we could gaze across to the Statue. Can you see it?
We made the mistake of going to the Ground Zero Memorial Museum in the morning, which left me crying all day. There were two large walls lined with photos of people who had died.
But the thing that really got me was this photo of a police officer and right next to it a photo of him with his kids.
Here's a photo of Dereck reading a list of all whom died:

I think Ed wanted to see the Stock Exchange as well. I found Ground Zero emotional too.
