lady liberty

so we spent friday walking around downtown manhattan, eating fantastic chinese food {i wonder if they'll deliver to brooklyn?} and eventually catching a ferry to liberty island. unfortunately we got there too late in the day to visit ellis island as well, or even to get up onto the platform of the statue, but it was nice nonetheless.

we had beautiful weather the majority of the day and made it back just before it started to storm...i even aquired a little sunburn. any color is good color at this stage in the summer. i was getting translucent there.
