In a touristy change of pace, Sissy, Rachel and I went to visit Lady Liberty in all her glory this morning. We woke up at the crack of dawn to beat the crowd. After we saw the statue we headed over to Ellis Island. It was awe inspiring to imagine all the elated immigrants arriving into America after such a long journey. Talk about a relief! I couldn’t help myself; I had to get some snapshots of our adventures! I did resist the urge to wear a fanny pack and tube socks, though (close call). We ate brunch at Pete’s afterwards and did a little shopping. Successful weekend all in all!
Model of the statue’s actual foot size. No Pradas for Lady Lib…poor girl!
The original torch!
