We're winding up our week here at Keith's parents. Keith grew up in a small, cute town with an awesome view out the back door.

While here visiting the grandparents, they took us out to eat for lunch where I had the *small* cheesesteak sandwich. Boy, was it good!

The only sightseeing we were able to fit in was visiting the Statue of Liberty.
If you plan a trip and you want to either visit the crown or the pedestal, you have to book the tickets in advance online. The tickets will show a time for you to be at the ferry--ignore it. We found out that it didn't matter what time your ticket said as long as you are there on the right day. A big thanks to the very nice park ranger who informed us that yes, we would have time to visit Ellis Island AND the Statue.
We boarded the ferry on the NJ side--lots of parking and no where the lines and people that were coming and going from Battery Park in NY. It was only about an hour and twenty minutes away and I was surprised at what an easy drive it was.

The wind was hellacious, but the sky was beautiful. I'm sooo glad we were able to go!
