Thursday we went to the Statue of Liberty. We took the subway from Times Square to Battery Park which the kids always love doing. There was a long wait to go to the statue, but it was definitely worth it. I've seen it before and have actually been all the way to the top back in 1999 with my cousin Mia and now they do not even allow people up to the top. I'm glad I took pictures back then too. :) The tickets for going up to the base were all sold out so we just walked around and took pictures. Such a cool site to see. We wanted to stop by Ellis Island (my Dad's name is on a plaque there as he came over from the Netherlands in 1949 when he was 9 years old. We ran out of time so we weren't able to go, but again I've been there before with my Mom and Dad right before John and Sue's wedding in 2001. I have pictures of us standing in front of the Twin Towers and another picture of us across the water with the Twin Towers in the background just 3 months before 9-11.
Old AMAZING pictures:
