With Esther in New York City

We had a great trip with our granddaughter, Esther, in New York in celebration of her upcoming 13th birthday. She has just finished performing in a production of a musical "Alice in Wonderland" done by a local performance group in Santa Cruz where she lives. So, part of the trip included seeing "In the Heights" a wonderful Broadway Musical about Latino immigrant experience in NYC . It seems like she really enjoyed it. We also took a Ferry Boat ride around the Statue of Liberty and spent some time on Ellis Island. We got to search their computers for her great grandmother - Dina Rozin - who emigrated back in 1923 from Minsk, Russia. We stayed with some generous friends and spent one night in a hotel just off of Times Square. Esther enjoyed some time in the huge M&Ms store. Times Square at night is quite a sight! We also managed to spend some time at the PRADA store - quite an experience. Naomi looked at a $2500 blouse - before she realized what the price was!Esther and Grandma Naomi on Ellis Island at the Memorial Wall, where the Tannen family is recognized, with the view of the Lower Manhattan Skyline.
