photo friday: tavern on the green
Another item on my NYC wish list was to take the girls to Tavern on the Green for lunch. More expensive than most places where we dine, we knew it was going to be a splurge. Watching the snow fall on the park as we ate our delicious meal was a perfect way to celebrate

photo friday: ellis island
The ferry to Liberty Island also includes a stop at Ellis Island. At one point, both of my girls were interested in immigration, but not so much any more. I think we all used all of our enthusiasm up at Liberty Island. We enjoyed seeing Ellis Island, but we didn’t spend much time there. Camille

photo friday: statue of liberty
In the very early stages of planning, one of the first things I did was to book tickets to go to the crown of the Statue of Liberty. I had been trying to take the girls to the Statue for years, but something always got in the way, whether construction or Hurricane Sandy. The tickets
