New York Pictures are gone

I know that almost everyone has given up on me with blogging but for those of you who haven't I have to tell you that we lost all our pictures we took in New York. We actually lost about 300 pictures altogether. I really don't know what happened but somehow the pictures all got erased from the card. I think that our camera has seen better days so I may need to get a new one. Our friends sent some pictures they took of us on the last day but it's really not that cool to see us. I have to figure out how to post them from my email. I know, I don't know how to do that so Brian will have to help me.
We had a wonderful time in New York! Jimmy and Jen were great hosts and were so nice to let us stay. Our first real day there we got up and headed down to Battery Park to catch the ferry to go over to Ellis Island. On the way out to the island we passed Lady Liberty and Brian and I were both surprised that she wasn't bigger. Now don't get me wrong she is still big but not as big as we both thought. Ellis Island was really neat even though I was ready to go after the automated tour. Brian loved it so much and said that he could spend 2 days there. I did like it and it was interesting, but I was done walking around and trying to listen because my little automated device was not working so well. After the tour we headed back up to Wall Street to meet Jimmy and Jen for lunch and to see Wall Street and the Big Bull. I can't believe that there are so many people always there. We saw a little bit of China Town and Little Italy. They were actually having some kind of celebration in Little Italy so Brian was in heaven. That night we saw Wicked. It was awesome! But I do have to say that I fell asleep in it through a couple of songs. It was a long day and I didn't get much sleep the night before so that is my excuse. I tried so, so hard to stay awake but sleep got the best of me. The music was so good though. I would like to maybe get the CD. The next day we went on a tour of the city and that night we went to dinner with the Macfarlanes and the Gedges. It was so much fun. Sunday our last day we just went to church and walked through Central Park which is another beautiful place that is Huge! We also went to the Empire State Building.
We really wanted to see the Museum of Natural History but we just couldn't do everything in 3 days so we are going to go back again someday. It is an awesome place to visit but I could never live there.

That stinks about your pictures! I'm glad you had a good time. I LOVE New York. I've only been once but it was so fun! I'm glad you guys got to go. Isn't Wicked great? We saw it when we were there too and loved it.

I am cracking up that you fell asleep on BROADWAY! So funny! I swear you sleep through any show you watch. It's ok! I am also cracking up at Ellis Island. I can totally see you and Brian there - you ready to go, and him wanting to catch every detail. So sorry about the pictures! That is the pits! Oh, and I can't wait for your next post!
