Nick and I hit the road bright and early and spent our day visiting the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island with his 5th grade class.
Ellis Island was very interesting, lots of history there. To think that some of our ancestors entered this country through the very place we stood today was incredible. I could have spent more time in there but we were on a schedule so we had to move on.
I have been to the city often, but never took the ferry over to the Statue of Liberty...it was defintely something to see! They no longer let you go all the way to the top, you are only allowed up to the base of the statue. Security is pretty tight but it was so worth it.....the view is just breathtaking....what a piece of history!
I am so glad that I took the day off to spend some quality time with Nick, we both had such a great time together. He can't wait to go back, but next time he said he would like to have more time for shopping. Unfortunately, not my kind of shopping. If I know him, he has FAO Schw@rtz on the brain....
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

What a perfect day!! How wonderful that you and Nick got to spend the day together... in NYC of all places! You captured some beautiful photos of your day.
Lady Liberty IS breath taking! We took the ferry ride back in 2004 - it was amazing. Hubby hated the city, too many people - but said we could fly in, go to the Statue of LIberty and fly immediately out - so the kids could see her one day!! LO! Glad you & Nick had a nice time!
HOW FUN!!!!
I was just telling John last night I wanted to go there.
Have a Great Weekend.

Hugs girly..

WOW! THat is a FIELD trip!?!?!? So lucky! I climbed all those SoL stairs when I was 11!! I will never forget it!
It looks like you had a fabulous day! Thank you for sharing the great pictures.
What a fun time you are having together!! Love the pics!
What fun!:) And what a blessing to spend that time with your son.
I hope one day to get to visit New York City. I have been in the airport, but I don't think that counts.;)
I didn't know that you couldn't go to the top of the Empire State Building. Ellis Island sounds like a place I could spend all day at.
Have a great rest of the weekend!
God Bless,
Amy:)
Lisa the pictures are awesome!!! I love that you spent quality time with Nick...they grow up so fast. I never turn down alone time with my boys..and they still ask me to come along with them (it's like a date night) : ) have a wonderful weekend.
That is really cool. What a great field trip! Sure beats the zoo!!
Such special time when it's a Momma and her son, don't you think? I love those days. They don't happen too often when you have more than one kiddo, hu? I love that you had that time and such a great day! The pics are AWESOME! You're both so darn cute! Happy rest of your weekend hun~ Les
What wonderful pictures Lisa! Looks like you guys are having a blast.
Your pics are beautiful. You are so lucky you live close enough to NY to go for the day...I'm jealous! I'm glad you had a great day. It sure looked like you had amazing weather for it!
Lisa,
What a fun trip with Nick. The pictures you took are absolutely FAB!!
Love,
Kim
Great pics! Sounds like you guys had a great time :) What a fun day!
What fun to live so close to NYC! Sounds like a fun time!
What a fun trip for his class to take. I have never actually stepped onto Ellis island only seen it by boat. My parents have a plaque on the wall in there because they emigrated from England.
Oh Lisa, what a wonderful day, so glad you and Nick had some special time with each other and in NYC to boot. ;)
I have the Statue of Liberty on my must see list, incredible!!
By saying you no longer can get to the TOP of the statue.... exactly where could you get to in the past??? Would you be standing in her crown????
We just got back from the thousand islands a mere three hours ago, and I haven't even begun to get photos uploaded... soon I hope.
Sorry it has been a while since visiting... I have been so busy with work etc
Though I have been thinking of everyone...
Love the photos... one day I would like to go to NY... one day I will get there... at least if I have my way
It looks and sounds like you and Nick had a great time! Love the pics!
Looks like a perfect Mother/ Son day! Oh how I love New York - love all of your pictures!
Those pictures are awesome. It looks like SO much fun!!!
