Ken and Rhonda Go to New York  Over Memorial Day weekend, 1999 Ken took me to visit his family in New York.   Since this was my first trip to the Big Apple, I didn't know WHAT to expect!  I ended up having a blast, of course, as the pictures below will show you....
 
Here I am in front of the New York Public Library.  It was definitely a thrill for a book lover like me!  Notice I am trying my best NOT to look like a tourist posing for a photo.  And I succeed in looking just like a tourist posing for a picture!  Shocking, isn't it??? This is me in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  That place is HUGE!!!!  We spent about 3 hours there and STILL didn't even come close to seeing everything.
Here we are posing in front of the Temple of Dendur at the Museum...  It was a breathtaking sight. Surprisingly, with all the fantastic art in this museum, I think my favorite exhibit was the Arms& Armor section.  It's hard to believe that folks actually WORE these things.  (But then again, they used to ride toward each other on horses holding really sharp sticks too...)
While at the MMA, we found the most amazing spot in Manhattan.  This was taken at the Roof Garden.  It's a sculpture garden that looks out into Central Park.  It is such a lovely, tranquil place in the middle of the city.  The photo simply doesn't do it justice... The following photos are from Day 2 of our New York Adventure.  On the agenda was Ellis Island, the World Trade Center, Fifth Avenue (SHOPPING!!!) and Greenwich Village.
