Depart from your area this morning en route to New York City. Upon arrival, you will visit the
9/11 MEMORIAL. The Memorial is a national tribute of remembrance and honor to the nearly
3,000 people killed in the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 at the World Trade Center, the
Pentagon, and United Flight 93 that crashed near Shanksville, PA. The Memorial design is defined by two
reflecting pools, a grove of trees and the names of the victims inscribed in bronze panels edging the Memorial pools, a powerful reminder of the unprecedented loss of life in an attack on U.S. soil and of the iconic Twin Towers. You will then travel 7 stories underground to the newly opened 9/11 MUSEUM. The museum will be broken down into two sections, leading visitors through the events of September 11, 2011. The historical aspect of the museum will include the events leading up to September 11th, the story of September 11th, and the world following the terrorist attacks. The memorial aspect of the museum will focus on the victims of the September 11th attacks and will share their stories. The Museum's growing collection of diverse materials includes artifacts, photographs, audio and video tapes, personal effects and memorabilia, expressions of tribute and remembrance, recorded testimonies and digital files and websites related to the history of the World Trade Center, the events of September 11, 2001 and the repercussions of these seismic attacks.
This afternoon, we will enjoy a late-afternoon lunch at the famous Italian restaurant CARMINE'S. Your meal will be served family style.
