The weather could not be more perfect for our trip to Liberty State Park- hot in the sun but with a lovely breeze coming off the Atlantic. The park is situated near Jersey City, just across the Hudson from Lower Manhattan...
Ellis Island, and the Statue of Liberty...
With such a beautiful location, and the best view there is to get of Manhattan, it's no wonder the park was very busy. I spent a great time with my cousins, Allison and Natalie, teaching them football (soccer!), and enjoying a tasty picnic.
Another feature of the park was the 9/11 'Empty Sky' memorial, a simple yet striking monument.
From there, we headed to an Italian restaurant where Stephanie, my aunt's niece, was a waitress. I ordered the meat lover's pizza (what else) and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere where every customer seemed to be personal friends with the manager. Another good day.
