We passed a man and we heard him say, "Looks like we have ourselves a field trip."
Yes, we are a field trip. However, trying to take pictures on this field trip WILL get you into trouble. An usher caught me...he was all neck. I was scared enough to put it away.
The service was amazing.
The tourists all left when the pastor started preaching. I guess it got a little too intense for them.
We then went to Union Square to have lunch at Whole Foods and look at the debt clock:
It has grown 20,519,049,809,490 since March 2012. I can't even fathom. It makes me really thankful that we have spent some serious time getting our finances in order...
We then took off to the Staten Island Ferry Terminal. We took the ferry over to see the Statue of Liberty. The sun was setting...
We then went to Chinatown to wrap up any shopping that the team wanted to do. This was the first time Kent got to see gang members hanging out on the corner. I don't point the gangs out, I generally wait for the team to see them, I don't really think they are an attraction....I'd rather point out the Statue of Liberty or Brooklyn Bridge. They are less likely to freak the team out....
I had my meltdown with Kirsten and Kelly in a little shop in Chinatown. I told them about how much I missed them--how hard leaving them behind was..
Then Jamie had an amazing idea. Let's just get the shopping done, take the team to Forever 21 and let the girls get their stuff done. It was a brilliant move!
I don't like shopping and I wasn't feeling good. I was nauseated and headache-y. I went down 2 floors and found a bench to sit on...the floor was shaking so hard I got a little freaked and went back to McDonald's for the free wifi and to wait out the shopping--I met up with the girls at 9.30 just like we had planned and they were already getting through the line up to pay.
We went home and packed up for our departure in the morning.
