Really, this is the New York Update, but it feels so good to say I only have 10 more days of school. Today, one of my students that is out in the general education class decided to jump up as entering the classroom and hit the exit sign at the beginning of 7th period. Not the best idea, as the sign sparked in many directions, and led to the power going out throughout that wing of the building! When the teacher asked why he did that, he said, "Because you never said we shouldn't." Duh. We'll have to deal
with that on Monday - funny and stupid all at once!*
So New York City... We arrived at Jennifer and Jason's apartment about 10:30pm or so. I was very tired. We went to bed not long after arriving; thank goodness! The next morning we woke up slowly. We talked about what we wanted to do on Friday. Somehow, going to Macy's made it to the 
top of the list! So, we took the train to Mahattan and joined the millions of people already at Macy's. You can see Jennifer, Jason, and I outside one of the entrances. The interior shot was taken while going up our first escalator. This is the first floor craziness. We continued to travel to the 8th level where the toys and the North Pole were. Jeremy and I were able to get our picture taken with the moose man :) We also went to Rockefeller Plaza to 
see the very BIG Christmas tree and ice rink. It was pretty, but not what I pictured in my head. The one picture is of us with the tree in the background. We headed back to the house after eat lunch at a little Italian eatery. We cooked up Thanksgiving dinner for the evening. You can see the tables where we ate; there were eight of us with Jason's friend and Jennifer's boyfriend. It was good, and obviously filling meal. We managed to get to bed quite late Friday night.

Saturday, started about the same as Friday - getting up slowly and deciding what to do. We decided to try to take the ferry to Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. This ended up being what every other visitor in town decided to do. So, we changed our minds and headed to South Side 
Bay (I think that was the name). They have small shops, big, tall ships, and a museum. Jeremy, Jason, and I walked past the previous site of the World Trade Center, since I had never been there. It was all under construction and there was not much to see. The one picture is of Jeremy with the Brooklyn Bridge in the background. The other picture is of Gloria and I with the big, tall ships in the background.
