27th - today we divided and conquered. The kids and I went to the Statue of Liberty and climbed into the crown. It was sensational!! It was one of those perfect days - warm, sunny, slight breeze, just perfect. We could see for miles and we climbed all the stairs from the base right to the crown. Just the four of us were in there. It is quite a small space and they are very organised with controlling the crowds. I was very impressed.
We could put our hand outside the crown and touch the statue itself, and from the staircase on the way down we could see the inside of the face.
Once we were down, we had an icecream and the. Walked around the base of the statue, looking at the views of Manhattan and up at the statue. Then it was back on the ferry to come home.
We then met up with Adam and Kate and family to walk around Central Park. We had lunch at the Loeb Boathouse, then walked up and around the park.
We came home for a quick rest, and then off to Times Square for dinner with the Reids.
James agreed to look after our kids while Mark and I went out for a night on the town. We went to a rooftop bar which overlooked the Times Square Ball.
A great day.
