Luck be a Lady

In the spirit of our unseasonably warm weather (80 degrees today!) we decided that as self-respecting New Yorkers, we should pay a visit to one of the icons of our great nation! No, it wasn't the Pope (who just happens to be in town), our beloved Senator (don't really know where she is, but just follow the mudslinging), nor even our self-liberated Governor (God bless his cheatin' heart)...

It was the real deal, Lady Liberty. And, we discovered that for about $100 a family of four can enjoy a nice harbor cruise with spectacular views of Ellis Island and The Statue of Liberty. Or, you could do what any self-respecting New Yorker does...and take the Staten Island Ferry that basically follows the same route, for FREE!!! Keeping along the cheapskate lines, here is a miniature travelogue of our adventure:
Hold me close up, tiny dancer...

If you build it, they will come. Or go. You know. Whatever.

Jessie & Wyatt lovin' the Lady.

All jest aside, no matter what politics you subscribe to, she won't be denied...

Team G enjoyin' the ride.

We stopped to sniff the Tulips across the street from our house and, Wham! These two cute kids came outta nowhere and stole the show!

Home again, home again jiggity jog.
