New York August 2011

In the last part of Captain Kidd's August trip he went to New York for 3 days. 

He first went to Times Square the first night he was there.

He went on a boat ride around Manhattan.

And got to see the Statue of Liberty.

He saw the Brooklyn Bridge from the water.

And hung out at Pier 14 for a little while.

He went back to Times Square.

And visited the Rockafeller Plaza.

He went to the Top of the Rock at the Plaza.

The subway was his main way of getting around the city.

He walked through Central Park.

Visited the building of the new World Trade Center.

And walked across the Brooklyn Bridge.

He visited Chinatown

And Little Italy too.

At the Staten Island Ferry Terminal.

Wall Street.

The Stock Exchange.

The Trump Building.

Grand Central Station!

A bridge in Central Park.

At Pier 14 again.

At the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square.

And this thing.

Outside Carnegie Hall.

And outside of Tiffany's! Alas, it was closed for the day. 

Selma, Alabama

i went to visit my grandparents who live in Selma, Alabama for a few days. The Captain enjoyed himself along the river front but of course the day I show my boyfriend around is the day I forget to bring Captain Kidd.

A small history lesson for those who aren't sure what has happened in Selma. Selma was a big contributor to the Civil Rights movement that happened in the 50's and 60's. Martin Luther King Jr. hosted a march that began in Selma to Montgomery for voting rights. (Selma is 50 miles away from Montgomery by the way). But the Selma police force stopped them before they could cross the bridge to leave the city.
Selma was also a big spot for the Civil war. This is where all the weapons, canons, canon balls, and bullets were made for the confederate soldiers. Also a vice president is from Selma. (This I didn't know until this last time I visited.) He is the only man to be inaugurated outside of the US.

Anyways, enough with the history lesson. Here's the Kidd's adventures.
