Kendall blessed us by taking photos of the trip ... you'll notice a different artistic view of things :) ... We visited Ground Zero and Trinity church ... Headed to the awesome World Store at Build-a-Bear, shopped at American Girl and Journey and Quiksilver ...Jean and I got pretty good at hailing two cabs at once to haul our crowd around ...We visited Time Square and had an yummy lunch at Hard Rock Cafe ...
