I lived in the New York area until I was 22, yet I never visited Ms. Liberty. Tara and I took an 8:30am ferry from Battery Park to Liberty Island. We went very early because we had tickets to take the Immigrant Hospital Tour and wanted to make sure we arrived early on Ellis Island.

It was an extraordinarily beautiful day and the ferry ride was wonderful. Take a look at the short video and view the gallery of the majestic statue and Liberty Island.
