From where we are in NH, it was about 5 hours drive to NY, but with a gameboy and a dvd player it was even for Noah 'I hate long car rides' Sietsma do-able!
We arrived on Thursday afternoon in Jersey City. This is just across the Hudson river and it has an amazing view of the Manhattan skyline. The boys instantly clicked again and it was like they had never been separated. Best friends again!
After our arrival Liesbeth took us for a ferry ride, a walk and we enjoyed the stunning view of Manhattan and Statue of Liberty. At night we had a nice dinner at the apartment with Maurice.
Friday was one fantastic day! In the morning Holland beat Brazil..against all odds....in the quarter finals of the World Cup 2-1! We were all so excited!
After the match we took the subway to Manhattan. Looked at the WTC site, we had an outdoor lunch at a park, played soccer, watched another amazing world Cup quarter final match ( Uruguay-Ghana)in a pub, played more soccer in Central Park, had dinner at a nice pizza restaurant and came back at the apartment at 10PM. July 2, 2010 had been a day to remember!
The next day we slept in, the boys played a bit more, we watched the Germans slaughtering Argentina and headed back to NH.
Best Friends!
We have missed Liesbeth and the Bloems so much!
