The Big Apple!


Shauna and I headed to New York City this weekend. Shauna is an upstate New Yorker, but she has never made it to the big city. I was so excited to see the city and so many famous sites I've always heard about. Of course one stop was the Statue of Liberty. Here I am standing in front of the Lady


We also walked through Central Park for quite some time Saturday and Sunday. Some of the trees still had their fall colors! The park is huge and really beautiful. We saw ponds, fields, sports complexes, trails, bicycles, numerous people jogging, horse-drawn carriages, ducks, swans, dog walkers, and even someone riding a horse.



We waited for 45 minutes to take a ferry out to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. After a security check and x-ray machines, we were crammed onto the ferries and ushered to the two islands with a grand view of the city in the background and the Lady in the foreground.
