New York day 3

Boy my feet are tired.  Today started at the 9/11 memorial. We timed things just right, we got there at around 10 which is exactly when the memorial opens up. We got through the line and security pretty fast and spent about an hour and a half salmon around checking out the memorial pools and the grounds. It was something to see. 

From there we went for lunch at a small diner nearby and then caught the subway to check out the High Line which was really neat (and not to mention cold and windy - definitely not shorts and sandals weather which was what I was wearing). 

From there we made our way back to the hotel to change into some warmer clothes and rest a bit. Then we did some souvenir shopping and explored the toys r us at Times Square. 

We also went and grabbed some fries and a shake at the Shake Shack which always had a lineup outside but today there was no line. The fries were great and my Fair Shake (milkshake with fair trade coffee) did not disappoint. 

Now we are in Rockefeller centre again scamming some free wifi while we wait for our studio tour at NBC. 

Tomorrow will be a long day of driving. I hope to leave as early as possible (ideally at 7am) to get off the island before it starts getting too busy. Hopefully we can get up early enough...

Here's a photo from the High Line:
