We went to NYC this summer and met our good friends,
Vlado and Milé Kanazirev, and their son, Ivo. We walked from
the west side, through Central Park to get to the Art Museum. |
 |
We went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see
the exhibit of Mesopotamian art. |
| |
 |
Judy's sister, Susan, was in charge of 'baby-sitting'
the boys while Judy attended a conference. |
 |
 |
We went to the American Museum of Natural History
specifically to see the Einstein exhibit. There was also an exhibit
on chocolate that the boys wanted to see. |
 |
While Judy is in NYC, she cannot miss heading out
to her favorite clubs. This is the famous Birdland. |
| We also went to the Blue Note in the Village to
see Chuck Mangione. It was a great concert! |
 |
|
 |
 |
While the Kanazirevs were in NYC, we did all the
usual tourist things. We walked around the financial district and
came to South Street Seaport, where we had a lovely lunch. Then we
took a tour on the Circle Line. |
 |
This is the Brooklyn Bridge. The Manhattan Bridge
is next to it, and you can see the Williamsburg Bridge further up
the River. These bridges connect Manhattan Island with Brooklyn, spanning
the East River. |
| There are several boat tours available from South
Street Seaport. We selected one for "old people". The boat
took a leisurely tour. There is another boat tour, called "The
Beast". These are speedboats that zip around the harbor at speeds
up to 45 mph. Susan took the boys on that tour. |
 |
On the day we were leaving to go home, we decided
to take a quick trip to the top of the Empire State Building. This
is a view looking west. |

 |
This is a view looking down to the street. We are
facing north. |
| We like to gather at Helen and Michael's home whenever
we visit NYC. Here are Helen's children, Larry and Jordan Shakeshaft.
Larry just graduated from Temple University in the spring. Jordan
is attending Swarthmore. |
 |
The little Chinese lady is Judy's mom, Ching Ho
Chan. |
 |
 |
This is Frank (Judy's brother) with his son, Christopher. |
 |
John (Judy's brother) and Vino Chan |
| Andrew Chan (in the stripped shirt), John and Vino's
son, with Aaron Waldman (Helen and Michael's son). |
 |
Frank and Pauline with their children -- Joanna
and Christopher, are visiting with Michael Waldman. |
 |
 |
We have lots of little babies in the Chan clan.
You can see Vino holding Leanne. Joey was filming all this activity.
|
 |
This is Andrew at home. |
| This was taken in Times Square, while
we were walking back from Birdland. It was so crowded, and there wasn't
anything special going on! This is normal for NYC, since the Broadway
shows were just finishing and the audiences were coming out. |
