Empire State Building

After dinner we took the subway over to midtown Manhattan and walked over to the Empire State building. They had some displays and interesting facts about the building on the main floor. 
We took the elevator to the 84th floor.  It is crazy how fast the elevators move, especially compared to the one at our hotel.  On the celling of the elevator they had a video playing that made it look like you were outside on top of the building.  
The 84th floor was inside.  You had to take pictures through a window, but the views were amazing. 
We walked around and looked at the view from each side. 
We finally realized that we could go up two more floors to the 86th floor that had an outdoor observation deck. 
I'm glad we did this one at night.  I loved the view of the city lights. 
I keep saying this, but it is crazy how many buildings they fit in New York City. 
I'm not sure why my camera turned me red. 
We could pick things out, but I couldn't capture them in the pictures.  It was fun to see the Statue of Liberty from up here. 
The weather cooperated with us all day.  It was cold on the top of the building, but there wasn't the cold wind that made it miserable.
I love the view of the water surrounding the city. 
We walked by Macy's on 34th Street on the way home.  We were so tired when we got home.  We fit in so much sightseeing that day.

Wow! That city is packed with buildings and I loved the pictures at night with the lights! I'll bet you were tired that night since you did a lot that day!
