A Tribute to John Lennon

Was listening to the news while loading the dishwasher this morning and learned it is the anniversary of John Lennon's death. I never thought I would make it as far north as New York City, but in March of 2003 we went with my daughter on her school field trip. We started out on a Saturday morning at 6 a.m. from Moody, Alabama. Our first stop was Natural Bridge, Virginia where we spent the night. From there we toured Monticello and Gettysburg. Then it was off to Amish Country (Hershey, Pennsylvania) where we stayed two days. (I love Amish country!) We then headed on up to Philadelphia where we toured the Liberty Bell and independence Hall. From there it was New York City. We toured: Radio City Music Hall, Ground Zero (wow! what an experience!), Chinatown, Little Italy, The Sony Station, NBC Studios, The Statue of Liberty, The United Nations and Central Park. We also went to a Broadway Play which was a wonderful experience also. I took these photos on our tour of Central Park. They are, The Dakota Building where John Lennon lived and was killed in front of. (Maury Povich & Connie Chung currently live there.) And the other pictures are of the section of Central Park honoring John Lennon and appropriately called "Strawberry Fields."
We left New York City the following Friday at 6 p.m. that night and drove straight through to Alabama (on a bus!) and arrived back in Moody at 2 p.m. on Saturday. I still don't think my body has recovered from being on a bus that long...but it was worth it.
