After walking forever to find ground zero we headed back. So many workers were trying to hand us brochures for bus tours. I FINALLY listened to one of them and found out we could take a night trip plus the tickets were good for Friday and Saturday!!! Jack and I enjoyed a nice tour on top of the bus and it felt good after walking all day. The tour took us by the Empire State Bldg, the flat building (where Spiderman was taped) and guess what.....Ground Zero!!! It also took us down by the Staton Island Ferry, near the Brooklyn Bridge and all over. We saw China Town and so many other things. The bus even took us over to Brooklyn for a short visit over there. It was so nice.
Friday morning we grabbed breakfast and got right back on the bus and went to the Staton Island Ferry to see the Statue of Liberty. That was the closest we got to it, but it was a nice view. After that we walked to see the New York Stock Exchange (although they won't let you in) and Wall Street. We were also able to get closer to Ground Zero. Even though they are building, you still stand in amazement of what happened there. We rode the bus some more and then went to Shake Shack. It's located in Madison Square Park and I heard there is always a line. Sure enough, at 3pm we still waited for 45 minutes. I'm thinking "this better be worth it...and it was. Best cheeseburgers and fries, plus the chocolate milkshake tasted like Dove chocolate. They also have a flavor of the day and it was some type of blueberry....out of this world. So good that I had Jack take a picture. We ended the night by going on top of the Empire State Bldg. It was very cloudy, but I'm still glad we could go. More about Saturday and my favorite pictures tomorrow. 
One of my favorite movies....Cary Grant. You have to see it!!!
