The one last thing that I (Brea) really wanted to do before we left was go to the Statue of Liberty and on Saturday we got close. The actual tours cost money- so we took the Staten Island Ferry (FREE!) which goes right next to it. It was so great to be able to see this key image that represents our countries beliefs, freedoms and democracy. It was very special. It was also very cool to see the city from Staten Island- and to be able to see the buildings and skyline from a different angel (rather then from under it- ha). The boat drops off at Battery Park- which has such a great history and story (war monuments, ect).
Then on our way home we went to China town and Little Italy for more Christmas bargain shopping. It was a wonderful day and was so much fun to be out and about- but together. It was great.
