new york skyline, empire state building



People often look in awe and wonder at the New York Skyline. Being a native of New York State, even I can understand the beauty in that image. It's not mountains and lush and green, but the gray concrete meeting the ocean blue holds some wonder that is beyond mere words.

When traveling to New York City, there are some points of interest on the New York Skyline that I have most certainly wanted to visit and see. The obvious would be the Statue of Liberty. When we were first married, my husband and I had the joyous pleasure of visiting Miss Liberty on his son's Cub Scout trip. She is most certainly a magnificant site to see up close and personal. Fortunately for us, we even have pictures from Liberty Island with the Twin Towers still in the background. Now, the site of where they stood is another must-see for those planning a New York City vacation.

I have also had the pleasure on field trips in my school days to visit the Empire State Building. The most important and fun thing to do while at the Empire State Building is to ride the elevator to the top and check out the sprawling city below through the view finders. This is always a treat.

There are several more things to do in New York City, and there are far more sites to see in the New York skyline. These are just the top two that I happened to get to experience first.
