Day 2 we started doing our exploring!!! I think we trecked all over this city on this trip, because I didn't want to miss anything. We still didn't get to see everything we wanted to...so I guess we'll just have to go back again to see the rest!!!
We woke up to a gorgeous day for exploring! This is our hotel looking all sunny!
After researching a bit, I learned that the tours of the Statue of Liberty take about 3-6 hours and run anywhere from $12-30 depending which tour you choose. None of us cared to go into the Statue of Liberty, we just wanted to see it and take pictures and go on exploring. So instead, we chose to ride the FREE Staten Island Ferry to, you guessed it...Staten Island! It was only about 30 min there and 30 min back, so we had alot more time to see other sites! To anyone considering a trip to NYC, unless you have a want to go inside, I would highly recommend going on the ferry to view the Statue of Liberty. We had an awesome view at no cost! Although, we froze our butts off! It was so windy and cold on this ride across the river/bay, I had to force myself to go outside on the deck to take pictures of Lady Liberty and the Manhattan skyline, but I couldn't stay out there longer than 5 min at a time!!!

Kolby and I on the ferry, it wasn't as cold and windy while we were at port!

Next, we hopped on the subway and headed over to Ground Zero in the Financial District.
Ground Zero was a moving experience, as I believed it would be. It is unbelievable to see a large block of emptiness with all of those huge buildings towering around it. They have already started construction on the new Freedom Tower 1 that will be built on Ground Zero along with the two reflection ponds that will be memorial to the original towers. The pictures below are of the construction site and a huge bronze mural that was across the street from Ground Zero.
