Cameron in the Big Apple.

Cameron  joined us and had a marvelous time in the Big Apple.  We dined at Sardi’s Restaurant and saw the Phantom of the Opera on Broadway.  Hurricane Arthur gave us a light show in the Atlantic on July 4^th, and it cleared just in time for a spectacular fireworks show at the Statue of Liberty.  Hearing all the people cheering and the boat horns after the show is something I will not forget.  

  We have now left the city and are anchored next to Hook Mountain on the Hudson River.  Sing Sing prison is across the river from us.  We are now officially on the inland part of the Loop, and will not see the Atlantic again on this trip.  We have to get use to river cruising, locks and bridges again.  The anchorage next to Hook Mountain is beautiful!

 We saw three plays while in the city, had many dinners, and took in the sites.  It was time to move on, as NYC is not cheap!!

They both fell asleep on the ride back.

Arthur gave us a great sunset that reflected off Freedom Tower.  

The New Jersey 9-11 memorial.  Two walls that line up toward where the Twin Towers were.  The names of the New Jersey residents killed are engraved on the walls.  

Fortunately a cold front moved through and pushed Arthur offshore.  

It was chilly for the Fourth!
