New York City Day 3

Morning of day 3 I had to do a site inspection of our first hotel. Pack our bags and head to our next hotel. W Times Square. This hotel was much more to Shane's liking. And in a great location.
I was obsessed with the rugs in the elevator if you can't tell. Luckily I was able to see it for each time of day.

Up next we had tickets to the 9/11 Memorial. Of course it had started raining, but that didn't stop us.
 We of course saw the survivor tree, and the two water fountains dedicated to the people who died. It was so surreal to see.
 Of course we saw the new Freedom Tower being built.
Amazingly Beautiful!
 One of the above buildings is the headquarters for American Express (I think).
 We than headed down to battery park to catch a ferry to the Statue of Liberty. That dot between the two of us is her.
New York City behind me. 
 The ferry ride had some great views of the city.
 Above are views of NY and Holbrook NJ.
 There she is... Lady Liberty.

 We went by Ellis Island, but chose not to get off of the ferry.
 Once off the ferry we had our first and only celebrity sighting.
 Dr. Oz.
 That night we headed out for some drinks.
 Somehow Shane and James managed to get the entire bar to sing happy birthday to me at midnight. A bit embarrassing.
 Me and Crystal decided we have known each other for 17 years. We tried several times to get a good picutre of both of us. I think the first shot was the best. 
We made new friends from Austrila. Who kept buying me shots. And by the end of the night we looked like this. Such a great night.
