My sisters family had hosted a party and all the children were expected to put up a performance .
We were very proud of the performance the girls put up.
And Tanya sang "A Whole new World"
This blog is all about little details as life unravels ......all in my own perspective....

What to see in Washington DC?
We headed to Washington DC next morning ....Its a great city .....Its a must see.
It looked very different from all the other cities we had seen so far.
We took a HOP ON HOP OFF TOUR.
It was a fabulous tour every 15 minutes and we saw as many things we could.
If we had more time we would have spent a whole day at Smithsonian museums but with limited time we just browsed through the museum and didnt do any of the regulars events they had.

We took AMTrack train back to Baltimore from where we headed back to New Jersey.
The girls enjoyed it too and it was a pity we could not spent more time at the museums...

Family Day
After 4 days of sight seeing we decided to go slow as it was my nieces birthday.
The girls did "build a bear workshop "and we went back to Manhattan to do Circle Line Tours which gives a sightseeing cruise on Hudson.
We also walked through Wall Street and surrounding in Downtown Manhattan.
We went to the Grand Central Terminus too.
We headed back to go to TGIF for a birthday dinner..

What to see in Niagara Falls?
Well we took a tour bus and went and in retrospect I dont think it was good idea at all.
If I had researched more...we would have hired a car and driven down and possibly visited Totonto which is an hour away on the Canadian side.
As we had not planned there is only so much you can do with a group.
Its a great experience.
Its best to take a pass.
Enroute we also visited Thousand Islands which is part of a package bus tour.
On our way back they also take you to the Corning Glass Museum- one of its kind in the world.

Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island
A bright sunny Saturday morning we set out to Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty...
As expected thanks to the great weather there were large crowds...
One tip to the furture traveller ..always books your tickets in advance.
Only advance tickets allow you to go up the monument...
Since it was a clear day we got an awesome view of Manhattan Skyline..
The photos will reveal how clear the day was
Her is the link
