The Statue of Liberty (July 3, 2010)
It is time to go back to the Statue of Liberty. This time, we have a different agenda. We have tickets to climb up and see the view from inside the crown. The tickets were reserved months in advance. You can’t just show up and get the tickets. We were at Battery Park early and made the first boat to the island. Once off the boat, we found the Ranger Station and got our black wrist bands. There is a special line and access for the trip to the crown. Only 240 people per day are allowed to the top. There were lots of stairs through the pedestal to the base of the statue. The staircase from the statue base to the crown was a double spiral, one path going up wrapped around another path going down. We finally made it to the top! It was a hike, but worth it. We were the first group to the top this day. This gave us full access to the view.
