Battery Park

Today we had breakfast with Carol's friends Todd and Tameron. They of course wanted to see Caden. After that we walked down to Battery Park because I've never really spent much time there and I really love the old streets in that section of town.

the first pictures is of you on your new stroller. Both you and Caden can fit on it.

In the pictures you'll see we walked by the New York Stock Exchange which has a big American flag on it. Next to the exchange is the Federal Hall National Memorial building. This is the building where George Washington (there's a statue of him out front) took the oath of office as our first President, and this site was home to the first Congress, Supreme Court, and Executive Branch offices. It's quite pretty down there. It's quiet compared to the rest of Manhattan and the streets are at oblique angles and are very small.

We also saw the bull sculpture. The bull is a symbol for Wall Street. Everyone likes taking pictures from the back side because all his naughty bits are there.

Then we headed to the park where you ran through the water. That was a lot of fun and I got a lot of nice shots of you. It was a hot day so the water helped cool you off. Daddy unfortunately was burning up. We walked a little farther down to the Staten Island Ferry building so mommy could feed Caden and I could cool off. After that we made our way home. What a fun day. Oh yea we had Bon Bon Chicken for dinner!

Oh and one more thing. Something very weird. When we were in the fountain area a Japanese lady asked mommy if she get her picture taken with you. I assume she thought you were very cute. Pretty strange though.
