Saturday
Beautiful day, so we all went to the Turtle Back Zoo
in nearby West Orange--the #1 Zoo in New Jersey. 

Grandma with Greta and Ava, Meridith with Ben
on the train.

Quick trip to Montauk 
Manhattan  
New World Trade Center Building 
Get past all of the big cities and you're out in the country


Montauk -- the Plaza 
Montauk Point Light
Oldest Lighthouse in New York
Commissioned by George Washington in 1792
Completed in 1796




 Block Island in the distance
Lake Montauk  and harbor 
Heading back going through the quaint towns of
Amagansett, East Hampton, Bridgehampton
Took a detour south along the south shore to see
the homes of the rich and famous
And they were there, what you could see of them

Manhattan Skyline

Coming into The Big Apple
Taking the Williamsburg Bridge over

Delancey Street
Empire State in the background
Through the Lincoln Tunnel and back to Short Hills

Time to head south, had a wonderful time with the kids 
and grandkids.

Last pictures with the grandkids before we leave
