New York City and 9/11-10 years later

So, Jeff had the opportunity to spend some time working in New York. I have always wanted to go to New York and so we followed him along for part of the time. It was a long 2 weeks, and we did a lot (hence the something like 6 posts) and I took about 200 pictures during that time. It was such a great city and such a change from Houston (and even Chicago) in so many ways. But one of the coolest things was that when we happened to go was during the 9/11 Memorial for the 10 year mark. Although we avoided getting too close to the actual Memorial site and new One World Trade Center, we did get to see it. It is still under construction.
But then for 9/11 we decided to go to a baseball game. It was awesome because the Mets just happened to be playing my Cubbies! Too bad it was a late game and Harrison was done after about 5 innings, but besides the Cubs winning (yeah!) we did get to see and participate in some great things before the game.
A moment of silence with Candles lit
The flag displayed with several NYPD, NYFD and NY Sanitation workers as well as others who helped out on that sad day. And Marc Anthony performed the National Anthem.
Ready for the game!


I will always remember that day and exactly where I was and how it all played out. It was such an experience for me to be in NYC 10 years later and see how everyone found ways to celebrate and honor the lives lost and changed forever. It was amazing to see and I will always remember that...along with the million other things we did while we were there, so feel free to read on!
