Walk with a view

They say that a true New Yorker has never been to NYC famous sites – Empire State Building, Top of the ROC, Statue of Liberty, etc.   As a former New Yorker I agree with that – the only time when I’ve been to the Empire State Building was when I was showing around the town to out-of-town guests.  I never made it to the Statue of Liberty either – although Victor and I took a trip to Governor’s island once (during pre-kids days).   This weekend was the closest I’ve gotten to it – during our trip with the girls to the Liberty State Park.

Mia and Alexa absolutely loved it – they were pushing their wagon and admiring the views – well, as much as 2.5 year olds can really admire anything.  The views were simply spectacular – having seen downtown from many different angles, I have to say that this one was my favorite – you can see the Statue of Liberty, Manhattan Skyline, Brooklyn and Verezano Bridges all while walking on a pedastrian walk-way along the bay.  Right now it is hard to believe that we used to live right there among these skyscrapers just a bit under 2 years ago!
