New York City Spring Break

What is the point in life if you cannot have fun with National landmarks? I'm definitely sure (according to a Mike/Katie Bates Christmas letter) that there are other people out there who goof around in front of these notable monuments. I know that they represent something sacred and that we should not behave in a manor that takes this away from them, but Jenny and I cannot help it because we are inherently goofy. We have our Mom to thank for that one. Jenny shows her strength and her cool while standing beside Lady Liberty, and I think that we should all respect her for voicing her opinion.

I quickly reference Liberty before creating an homage to honor her. See, I at least am respectful with my presentation even though some one somewhere will insist that I am mocking perhaps the greatest symbol of our country. To whom it may concern, a homage is a special honor or respect shown or expressed publicly. My actions were in the utmost respect to the greatest lady that I ever have been privileged to spend the morning with. She has taught me so much, but I have yet to repay her for her wisdom. I hope that this presentation is a step in the right direction towards repaying her for her contribution to American culture.

When I looked over towards the Jersey shore, I noticed something that I had seen before. It was in fact the Bayonne Bridge, which had a bit part in the 2005 movie War of the Worlds. You'll read more about that on Day 3 when we visited the Garden State.

I put a quarter into one of those binocular viewing things so that Jenny could look at New Jersey. I know what you're thinking, what a waste of a quarter, but hey, I'm on vacation. I can splurge a little bit.

Two great American symbols are represented in these pictures, and I even took the time to properly frame them so that I could sell them to time magazine of the price was right. Something about being here made me proud to be an American; it truly is the greatest country on Earth. If anyone from another country is reading this, I apologize by my boisterous outburst of homeland pride. You too must feel a certain respect for the country from which you came from, so you can certainly understand my outpouring of love for the U.S.A. Yipee!!!
