MANHATTAN 1



Eventful start to the day ... on the way to the airport with Joelene and Olivia ... and Olivia threw up in the back seat of the car. She had complained about not feeling well after eating cheese last night and milk when she woke up to get ready to fly at 3:30 a.m. this morning. So she waited till we all got in the car and were halfway to O'Hare before upchucking it all over. So that was a great start to our Manhattan trip.
Once here though, it was awesome. We took a hike to the Empire State Building, not far from our hotel. That's it up above.

Then we walked around and did some shopping (this trip is in honor of Olivia's high school graduation, so 'shopping' is in the plans - every day). She is snapping photographs left and right - like the one below -but it's good to see she's having a great time.

We had some New York style pizza and hit some really unique and trendy and quirky, out-of-the-box shops - no lack of those here.

We ended the day with a Chinese dinner and then I left the girls at a women's clothing store a block from the hotel and headed back to the room around now (8 p.m.). I'm going to hit the gym downstairs before crashing. We've been up since before 4 this morning.

And be blessed.

The fifth most common phobia is Emetophobia (the fear of vomit, vomiting, and seeing/hearing somebody else vomit). Just a random fact that came to mind after reading the first paragraph.
