Statue of Liberty

We went to Liberty Island to vista the Statue of Liberty on Friday morning. We did not get to visit the island last year as it was closed for renovation after Hurricane Sandy. We took a ferry from Battery Park and reached the island after a 20 minutes ride.

This time we get to visit the inside of the statue. It has a museum here. We visited  the pedestal area which is the base of the statue. People can go up to the top until the crown of the statue but they need to walk up more than 300 steps! I don't think I can do that!

Can you spot me?

We stand like the statue

In the museum, we learnt about the history of Statue of Liberty. It was built in 1882. by the French as a gift to the US government. The entire statue was made of copper. I have developed a new hobby which is taking photographs. I know how to use papa's big camera and I took lots of photos all by myself.

After Liberty Island, the ferry took us to the neighbouring Ellis Island. We visited the Ellis Island Immigration Museum. This building was used to be the point of entry for many immigrants who came here many many years ago. Again, I took lots of photos here.

Back to Times Square NYC

We went to New York City on Sunday. We stayed at the same hotel that we stayed previously, Marriott Marquis in Times Square. Last year, it was snowing everyday, but this time, it was raining everyday! But the weather was good, not too hot and not too cold.

In Times Square, we went to our favourite shops; mainly Hershey's, M&M World, Disney Store and Toys R Us.

Miami Beach

We went to the Biscayne Bay after Miami Seaquarium for dinner. It was not as nice as before as it was very dirty. After dinner we went to the famous Miami beach again. We left for New York City on Thursday. We like Florida very much and hope we can come back again in future
