Vacation... Days 4 & 5

Days 4 & 5 of our vacation were on our cruise. The first day was a day at sea... for us to rest from all our sight seeing in New York. Then we docked in Halifax, a fishing town. Canada is absolutely beautiful! It was cold but the people were warm and friendly. We went Whale Watching but the whales were smarter than us and stayed out of sight. Here are some of the pics I took.....

3rd and Last Day in NYC.....

Our third day in New York we took and "Uptown" tour on our Hop On Hop Off bus. We spent several hours at the Natural History Museum and didn't see most of the exhibits... guess we'll just have to plan another trip to see the rest. After our tour we had dinner and then went to see "Spiderman"! It was awesome! I loved the music, sets, and stunts. It actually took 9 different stunt men to do the stunts of Spiderman. Here are some of the photos I took.

The Museum has one of the largest Dinosaur exhibits in the world!









Then on to the African Exhibit.... looking for a "Gibbon"!




This was the closest to a Gibbon Ape I could find.....


The Native American Exhibit..... Mr. P's favorite.....






Chase and I think we found "Dum Dum" from "Night in the museum"...

The Pecks have returned from our vacation.... We went to NYC for three days and then took a cruise to Canada. You know Mrs. P.... I took over 400 photos! Too many to post at one time... so... I will post them in "Chapters". This is the first "Non-Stop" day and a half in NYC. As you can see, we Pecks know how to cram a lot of sight-seeing in just 3 days!

First stop... lunch at Bryant Park...
