I got Friday off because of the holiday. It was a chance for me to make up for the sleep debt that I have been accumulating the past weeks. It was also a chance for me to reminisce the days when I got to meet "The Lady".
Here are some pictures to commemorate that special day:.jpg)
Confirming our e-tickets at Liberty Park..jpg)

"Miss New Jersey" will take us to Ellis Island then to Liberty..jpg)

Imagine this guy as the Statue of Liberty? This is one of the many designs considered! Good thing this did not make it.
Happy 4th of July!
The crown is open to the public starting today. Too bad i missed it.

Those pics surely bring back some very beautiful memories, don't they? Too bad the crown wasn't open yet at the time.
I'm glad that they didn't approve "the guy" as the Statue of Liberty. One could just imagine what the view above would be if a ship passed right between his legs. Hehehehe
The Lady's Crown will be the destination next time. :-)
hope you're having fun in your trips :)
