The Ratcliffes in North America

We've made this blog so you can see where we are, where we've been and what we've been up to whilst we're away. Let the adventure begin!

Bye bye NYC

So, our last couple of days went like this....

A visit to the Museum of Modern Art where we saw exhibits by Monet, Dali, Picasso, Van Gough, Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollock to name a few. (Harp at us!)

We then did a bit of exploring downtown and saw the Flat Iron Building, Union Square and Chelsea.

 Our final day in New York was spent exploring Brooklyn.  We headed down to Brooklyn Heights, walked along by the water and took in a cracking view of the Financial District.

 For tea we headed to Grimaldi's.  Never have we seen such an enormous pizza!  18" of pure ommynommyness! Check out the rogues gallery on http://www.grimaldis.com/2/Index.htm

We finished the evening with a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge.  Amazing views from the middle!

We left New York on Wednesday 5th Jan by the trusty Megabus, which I might add had free wifi! (No worn out Yorkshire buses here!) After a 4hr trip to Washington DC we arrived safe and sound. Thank God it's a slower pace of life here!
