We were all finally well enough to have a family adventure!
We had heard that we should see the Statue of Liberty from the New Jersey side. There was no crowd, even on a beautiful day, and we had a pretty awesome view while we waited.
Peter took his camera and had a grand time taking pictures. He was really well behaved, in part because he was focused on being a photographer and not on making mischief.
Sophie was a trooper. She spent a long time in her stroller and only got fussy as we were heading home.
Bryan was there too! He manned the camera for most of the day, so he's not present in most of the pictures.
Our first stop was at Ellis Island. It was inspiring, even with many of the exhibits still being repaired from the damage they sustained during Hurricane Sandy. And this is one of two pictures I took while we were there. The other one is almost identical.
There she is!
We all listened, at least for a few minutes, to the audio tour.
She is tall! The kids thought it was funny that we called the Statue of Liberty "she" and "her." Well, she is the correct pronoun.
On the ferry back to New Jersey Bryan captured this beautiful picture.
We all loved seeing the Statue of Liberty. Peter said it was the best day. Hooray for family adventures!
