World Trade Center & Long Island

The day after Thanksgiving we headed out into the city with Phil's cousins to walk around. We walked through the financial district and took a walk through the ground zero area to see the progress being made on the new World Trade Centers.

All of the cousins and Calvin (Me, Lucia, Phil, Alex, Lea, Wally and Kevin).
We had to go up some stairs to bypass all the construction. Kevin put in some effort to carry Calvin up the stairs. And then we realized there was an elevator...I don't blame him for the pained look, Calvin's heavy these days...

We passed through one of the financial buildings and Lea and Calvin admired the indoor palm trees.

Where is everyone?

Calvin's first encounter with New York City pigeons.


After such a busy day, Calvin passed out pretty easily in the car.

In the evening we headed out to Long Island to visit one of my old college roommates, Le. She took us to one of the Tanger Outlets near her house to walk around and have dinner. They had an ice rink setup, which seemed pretty nice.

After dinner we headed back to my friend's house where Calvin got to play with Le's daughter, Mai who's 3 already!
Mai is so sweet. She always stops to make sure Calvin is ok.
