Day Two - Empire State Building

Hi there - What a busy Saturday we had - Central Park - Fifth Avenue and finally the Empire State Building.  We arrived there late afternoon, queued up as we were already booked to go in and off we went.

 

We first spotted this when we were wandering along by Madison Square Garden -

How excited was I?  So on we walked

 

 

The closer we came - the more excited I got

 

Right let's go in

 

 

W O W

 

 

Look at the floor

 

 

Snapping these whilst waiting for the lift up to the 80th floor -

I was so excited to be up there (although my stomach didn't like it too much)

I just went back and forth snapping and snapping and snapping

 

 

Some of the costing of  building the Empire State Building

Construction started on 17th March 1930

 

 

Completed and opened on 1st May 1931

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So after snapping away for ages - up we went again.

The 86th Floor had an open air observation deck which was so

windy that you were totally blown over and your breath was taken away,

so we hurriedly made our way back down again

for some more photo taking

 

 

 

 

The sun was starting to go down and night time was drawing in

 

 

 

 

Then New York started to come alive as lights appeared

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After an exhausting day we finally left with one final look back

 

W O W - W O W - W O W - W O W - W O W

 

I had my fitbit on all day and I clocked up a total of 28,972 steps,

 which was 12.42 miles

  total walking for 285 minutes. 

Every step of it was worth it and I had the best day ever.

 

Thanks for popping by and there

is more to come
