As some of you know I live in North Jersey a mere 30 minutes from the George Washington bridge & New York City. I've only been to the statue of liberty probably once in my life so today while my Ex-Gf's cousin from France was visiting I thought it was a good opportunity to have one SUPER Patriotic day. I started off my day with at 9 am, and headed to Jersey City's Liberty State Park, to see the Liberty Science Center, Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island. The weather was beautiful, and the crowd was perfect for a Saturday morning.
The pictures are pretty self explanatory! The tan guy is my best friend Sal, the brunette is Ali, and the other black haired girl is her French Cousin. I'm mostly behind the camera except one picture.

I took a ton more but these were what were important to me!
I hope you enjoy them!
