Trip to NYC with Kate, Dave and Steven.  How nice it was to spend time together.  It was very nice of Paul and Glenda to keep William .  We would have never been to keep track of him in the city!
 The Edison is nothing fancy but it is a half block off times square.

 Journey into the city
 Dinner at Traffic in Hells Kitchen.  So good when Ann and I ate here before, we took everyone back.  Just as good the second time.

 St Patricks cathedral

 Grand Central Station
 Kate and Dave Met their Arkansas Friend Rachel who now teaches in NYC.

 Flatiron building

 Elevated walking park, called highline.   Was old train tract.   Very nice.

 Another of elevated highline
 The Dakota


Public liabrary


 Ellis Island Wall of Honor where Ann and Rass Rasmussen are remembered.  I know all relatives who come to NYC find this exact spot.


 Ann doing laundry

 Steve and I find Grandma Rass on Wall



 After reading this, I decieded that Grandma and Grandpa Rass would have walked up left stairway so I walked in their steps


 This is the three stairways and the picture above is what they saw through the open doors at the top.  Really great to do this.
 Steve, Ann and I drove to Rochester, NY to visit Bryce (Anns brother) and make a trip to Niagra Falls. Also enjoyed getting a $20 ticket for parking in Canada.  This tunnel went behind the falls


Our niece Lily
 Erie Canal

 Best cream pies ever.  Just outside of St Louis on way home.  In Illinois, Called Blue Springs, On food network.






Stopped by Gettysburg on the way to NYC. That is the beauty of driving, if you see something nearby, you can stop.
