So today we all took a train down to the Ferry terminal, to see about getting on the Statue of Liberty. Tickets were not available to go inside the statue. All the street hawkers had them they said. Louis and Marie visited the outside. Ollkie didn't want to go on the boat, so in the end we took a PATH train out to Jersey, and saw the Science Museum, which Ollie loved, but I wasn't big on. For example, they had monkeys, and a huge bird spider, which are great but something that's more for the zoo. I was expecting parabola whispering dishes, inertia experiments and the like. We didn't get to the other sections, as Marie called and we had to run.
We got the bus back out to Jersey to visit Alicia. This time we got out at the right stop, which was in the middle of a big car park. At one end of the car park were a hand full of shops. Little box, big car park seems to be the standard.
We picked up the kids from school, drove home. Alicia had some pasta sauce cooking, which was very good. We hung out for a while, chatted etc, then belted out at around 6 or 7pm to get the train back again to Penn Station, I think it was, then a subway, then home, then pack for the following day with an early early flight! Luckily we'd done the walk to the subway before, so we knew it was 5 minutes plus time to battle 2x20kg bags down the stairs, plus carry ons.
