Now while he didn't exactly get the "key" to the city, Cale did do some impressive things, see some cool sites and meet some familiar faces!  It was a whirl wind trip of four days and by the end of it Cale was exhilarated and exhausted but not so sure he was happy to be home!  Could there really be a city boy lodged deep in them thar country roots? Let's begin this journey with Cale through the streets of New York City!
 

Larue County High School Principal - Paul Mullins vowing this trip will be fun and safe!  Each child is duly warned what will happen if they don't obey, yada, yada, yada!!

It started of course with a bus ride from Larue County with a bunch of graduating seniors!  Hence, Cale was a chaperone for his daughter Aletha's Senior trip!  Cale and Teens to me (Karen) spells major trouble!  Anyhoo, let's see how it went...
This is the Ball that is dropped every New Year's Eve!  Blurry but proof enough he ain't lyin to me!

Cale had an opportunity to stand on the very ground we watch weekday mornings!  Rockefeller Plaza in New York City for the Today Show! 

How cool is that?

Jenna Wolfe and Lester Holt of the Today Show waiting for

their next camera appearance.

Aletha (Cale's daughter,)  a WNBC Weekend Weather Girl

and fellow class mate Brittany.

The Mounty was hired to keep Cale and his group in line!

Cale says it's all about getting the Today Show crew to notice you!  This guy here seems to have the girl next to him a bit creeped out!

Okay, she's (Jenna Wolfe from the Today Show) wide awake and our beloved Cale can barely keep his eyes open!

Oh the beauty of shotgun trips!

 

Remember "Night at the Museum?"  Cale got to go into the museum where the film was made!  As you can see, there's Teddy on his trusty steed.  What?!  You haven't seen it yet?  Well get on it. Meanwhile let's take a walk inside to see if you recognize anything or anyone....

Dum Dum Want Some Gum Gum!?

If it transmits a radio frequency...it's got Cale's attention!

way to get a cute girl in on his pictures!

The next time I tell Cale to take a camera with him and get some pictures...shoot me! Hope you enjoyed his pictures as much as he enjoyed his trip! Thanks Cale for sharing! Some of us may never see these places in our lifetime. Until next time...see ya!
