Day #201 - Into New York City
The boys had never been to NY, so we surprised them with a quick trip into the city after we arrived in NJ Friday evening for a quick look-see. Unknown to them, we would be going back the next day for some real sightseeing that would include ...~ ~ ~
Day #202 - Statue of Liberty
Ellis Island as seen from the ferry on the way to Liberty Island. 
The Lady herself. Not only was it a first for the boys, but for Lew and I too. I'd only seen her from afar aboard a ferry crossing the river before this trip.

New York City from Liberty Island
Brooklyn Bridge from Liberty Island
The original flame held aloft by the Lady before renovations in 1984 replaced it with the gilded one she now holds
A replica of the Lady's face in the museum, it was made using the same process as used on the statue. I don't know the kid picking her nose!! :D
The Statue of Liberty in all her glory...
...truly an awesome and impressive sightAfter spending most of the day on Liberty Island, we went back into the city for a closer look at
The Empire State Building
The United Nationsand a lot of other buildings. All in all, it was a successful surprise and we had a great time. As you can see, the weather was spectacular too!

Glad you're back! Looks like you had a wonderful trip. =)
Wow, those are all just awesome shots! :)
Great NYC photos, Marianne. I've been once, but never had the joy of seeing Lady Liberty, unfortunately.
Happy 1st Birthday, Winston!
