I am officially proud to say I am a real New Yorke...

I am officially proud to say I am a real New Yorker. Meeting many people from different parts of the world I was always ashamed to tel others I had never been to the Statue of Liberty. But I finally did so. If you buy your ticket online you do not have to wait on the long line to purchase the ticket. We went right before 12pm. The sun was not out and beaming yet. So it was perfect for a rooftop boat ride ! Unfortunately we skipped Ellis island but you have the option to stop there while on the boat ride. The Liberty museum is included in your ticket purchase definitely check it out and sit through the short film that talks about the history behind lady liberty. It was an amazing experience. Staff working the route is quick and friendly !!
