After leaving D.C. we were supposed to have a hotel stop to be able to change and freshen up before our dinner and show. Unfortunately, predictiong traffic is tougher than the the weather and we didn't get to do either. Traffic was so bad on our way into New York that we needed to skip the hotel stop and didn't eat at our ncy resturaunt before the show. Instead, we made a pit stop at a rest stop and people got changed in record time.
It took 15 minutes or less to get everyone off the bus, dressed, and back on(which is impressive considering some of the girls had some fancy new dresses to wear to the show).
The Blue Man Group put on a great show. We were "off Broadway" a bit in Little Italy in a small theater called Aster Place. The students had "poncho" seating because they were in the first five rows of the small theather. A few students even got involved in the act!
The students were excited before going into the show
Notice the ponchos we had on and that the girls sat by "Justin Bieber"!
Andrew looks a little unsure of the Blue Man!
Since we missed our dinner date before the show we called and found out that Dallas BBQ was opened until 1am so we went for an after-show meal! It was excellent and we had a super view of Time Square right out the window by us. I know that I wasn't hungry when I went in because of snacking earlier but somehow I still at all my chicken, fries, and an ice cream bar for desert! Luckily the bus still had room for all of us so we could get back to the hotel.
Great food with a view of Time Square at Dallas BBQ
Freedom Tower is under construction at site of the late World Trade Centers
Great Picture from Liberty Island
The tour at NBC Studios
The Liberty Bike as featured on Discovery Channels "American Chopper"
We're happy to show that she is not in the back of the squad car!
Two of New York's finest in Central Park
Neat bridge in Central Park. (Those are our students on it too!)
After shopping and sight seeing on 5th Ave. we met up at Rockefeller Center to tour the "Top of the Rock". We went up 70 floors and got to walk around on top of the building and take in the nighscenes that New York had offer. Only a few students (and adults) were leary of standing too close to the edge but a good time was had by all. After all that we loaded the bus and headed out of town for the long journey home. The day in New York was a great one to remember!~Mr. Bell

Great Picture from Liberty Island We got to take a small tour of NBC studios where we saw the set of the "Dr. Oz" show and the set for Saturday Night Live. A couple of students even got to be part of a mock taping of the news including an anchor and a weatherman(or woman)!!

The Liberty Bike as featured on Discovery Channels "American Chopper" After our visit to NBC studios we went to eat at an Italian sandwich shop off of 5th avenue. It was great little place to eat and thankfully they didn't complain when we hung out there for a little while so the rain storms could pass. Finally the rain let up enough for us to take a walk up 5th Ave. to Central Park and from there we split up and did our own sight seeing and shopping.
