a little remembering

 
We spent our evening yesterday at the 9.11 memorial in lower Manhattan.  We got tickets weeks ago and have been looking forward to it since. (See the bottom of the post for how to get tickets to the 9/11 memorial last minute if they are not available from the 9/11 Memorial, website.)  It was definitely no disappointment.  It was beautiful despite all the construction.  Maybe it is just me but I felt a reverence there I imagine because it is a burial ground of so many.  We were really glad we went.  It was a nice little family outing.


//  If you want to visit the 9/11 memorial you have to get tickets in advance.  Its better to get them weeks even months in advance.  There is no stand-by line or anything like it.  However, there is another way to get tickets if you don't have them.  If you didn't get tickets to the 9/11 Memorial Site, you can still get them the day of your visit at the 9/11 Memorial Preview site at 20 Vesey St. (between Church Street and Broadway).  They start handing out a limited amount at 9AM so you'll want to get there early.  I don't know how many they hand out, so get there early!
