I have arrived in Virginia all safe and sound.
My family picked me up from the flash hotel in Connecticut on Thursday afternoon and we drove to New York City to our hotel. Our hotel looked over Times Square. And it was high enough that you didn't hear all the commotion from down on the road.
While in New York we visited the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building and the 9/11 memorial. The trip out to Liberty Island was quite spectular, seeing both New York and New Jersey state. We went to the 9/11 memorial real randomly cause we kind of got lost trying to find Chinatown and we ended up at the memorial. But the memorial is so lovely. It is a massive cube like hole with water rushing down the sides. It had all the people who died written around the outside of the 'pools'. We also climbed to the 82nd floor of the Empire State Building. Here we saw most of Manhattan and some of Jersey.

We also went to the hit Broadway musical of Spiderman. Spiderman swung around the theatre and he even landed in the aisle next to us. We were 5 rows from the front. This was also on St Patricks Day. New York is Irish madness so we were surrounded by young drunk americans and not-so-young too. It was a great experience though.
We had a 4.5 hour drive down the interstate to get back to Virginia.
Love to you all

That sounds awesome!
