We visited the Statue of Liberty and it was a visual feast and a bit drizzly towards the end! Nick and Wyatt were surprised it wasn't bigger based on what they have seen in movies. They have a new museum that took things from inside the pedestal and put it in one spot in a museum. It opened in 2019 so I hadn't seen it before! I like how they showed the pieces in the museum. There was so much more light and it was easier to see and interact with them!
I asked the park Ranger Pheona about her memories. She shared her brave climb to the top of the torch and how she couldn't stand up because she was so afraid and she felt the sway a couple inches either way. She described the climb down the ladder in the dark and also felt the swaying! She said once was enough! She took a nice photo of us and we got a picture of her too!
I also made sure to get to the front of the statue for a pic this time. Last time I visited with Corinne Valentine we spent our time climbing the pedestal and forgot to walk to the front! The skyline was beautiful. It was drizzling just a bit and we got nice and wet. It was a bit chilly in the rain.
One thing I find incredible is that the celebration of the Statue of Liberty excluded women who had to watch from the NYC shore. We have come a long way baby!
Love this view
This statute of Liberty is without trademark and the image is available for anyone to use

I was allowed a selfie! I am not that much shorter- I was leaning down to make it look like it wasn't a selfie!
The Skyline - I didn't look close up because it was raining and I didn't have 2 quarters!
The people clamoring to get this pic made me smile ! I
Was enjoying sitting on the swaying boat!
Look at the WWI soldiers that made up this pic!
The detail pics of people!
This shows the museum a bit more and my handsome sons! Look at those beards and stashes!
This always amazes me as someone without many tall buildings and this much water surrounding the skyline!
This shows the symbols of liberty on the sign!
Look at the inspiration for lady Liberty!
Just hanging out- this was a different bird that the white seagulls
The kind park Ranger - love her name!

Symbols on WWI helmet.
The original torch had lightbulbs that the keeper of the light manually changed- he must have been fearless!
