New York City: Day 5

Sunday, June 14. The trip to NYC was awesome. It was event packed! We didn't even come close to seeing all there is to see here. We'll have to come back again some day and visit the museums, Ellis Island, see the Statue of Liberty up close, go up the top of the Empire State Building, go to a Yankee game, and on and on!

We boarded the tour bus to go to the airport and I noticed that everyone seemed to be passing us while we were going across the Brooklyn Bridge. Then I realized that the engine was awfully quiet--that's because it wasn't on. The bus had stalled and we were coasting along the bridge. The driver was able to get the bus started again but we had only driven about 2 miles when the engine stalled again. This continued to happen all the way to the airport. We weren't sure if we were going to make it to the airport. I had visions of this large group of children pulling their suitcases along the roadside hoofing it to the airport. However, we did finally arrive at the airport and enjoyed a quiet ride back to Dallas. What a fun trip. I am so glad I was able to do this with Anna. She made me so proud. She did a wonderful job at Carnegie and handled herself very well in the big city!
