We watched a jazz assembly this week with our buddies.

The students recently toured City Hall in downtown Manhattan.  Here is a view of the oculus inside of the building.

The architecture inside was so inspiring!

We saw a statue of George Washington in the lobby.

We saw so many historical artifacts and paintings at City Hall.
