The H's saw Wicked lastnight on Broadway and stayed in Manhattan. The kids and I drove in this morning and picked them up at their hotel, then we drove down towards Battery Park and parked for the day. We enjoyed a beautiful walk along part of the Hudson River (very near to where flight 1549 landed a few weeks ago) down to Battery Park.
We were able to get Monument passes with our tour which meant we got to inside Lady Liberty. Pretty amazing experience. I hope the kids will remember this when they get older. They had a life size replica of her face (not the most attractive lady) and her foot in the museum (in the base of Lady Liberty), and the kids got a kick out of it.They even tried to pick her nose and tickle her toes....
New Jersey on the left, Manhattan in the middle, Brooklyn and Queens on the right. Pretty amazing view!
"Mom, it's toooo bright!!!!" We had the front of her all to ourselves for quite a while. I tell you what, February is the time to visit her. There is nobody around!!
And this view of Battery Park and Lower Manhattan greeted us on our return. Pretty incredible, huh? I know I keep saying that, but it was such an incredible day!!
