EMPIRE STATE BUILDING
Last year I won an all expense paid trip to New York City for two. It included hotel room, Broadway theater tickets, dinner at Carmine’s, dinner cruise on the Hudson River and more.
This was my daughter’s first trip as an adult, so we did the typical tourist things. Our schedule was so booked that we were unable to visit the observation deck of the Empire State Building, but I was able to capture it on the outside from different views around the city. I hope you enjoy the photos I took.

BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!

Amazing engineering to design a building that high and not have it fall down.

There are cities like this where I really enjoy to do the typical tourist things over and over again. But I’m still waiting to win such a trip 😉
