We were lucky enough to be able to enjoy a few more sites in the city before the weather turns too cold. After September 11th, they no longer allowed visitors to go up inside the crown of the Statue of Liberty. Starting this past 4th of July, they opened it up to visitors again, but you have to get your tickets months in advance. So, on July 4th we got on the website and got tickets to go up inside the crown in the middle of September. We were originally planning on carrying Ethan & Gavin up the stairs with us, but decided that might actually kill me. So, Dallin, Tad and I enjoyed it without them.

Tad, Dallin and me inside the crown.I have to admit that climbing all of those stairs made me a little claustrophobic, as they are really steep and tight, but it was worth it.

Tad and me with "Mr. Met".Some friends in our ward gave us some Mets tickets, which we all know Tad will never pass up. It was a great date night!

Tad, my mom and me at Jersey Boys in Broadway.My mom, my Aunt Deanne and four of their friends came to NYC for the weekend to see the sites and see some broadways. Tad and I met them for dinner at Carmine's, then to see Jersey Boys. It was really fun to see my mom and my aunt!

Love you blog Melanie! I'll have to get our family some tickets to visit the crown (maybe next spring).
how fun that you can just go there sporadically! I also love it how aunt Muriel travels so much...come to think of it.... all of you guys do! That is definitely something I want to strive towards when ia m older and have grown kids!!
You are SO lucky!! I've always wanted to go up in the crown, but never had the chance while I lived there... Maybe someday. Also, you look GREAT!
Looks like so much fun! I'm glad I could see what it looks like in the crown through your pictures. BTW, love the new family pic on your header!
That's awesome that you got to go up into the crown! I would LOVE to do that some day, although I'm sure that climb might kill me too (even without kids)! ;) What a fun date night. Marcos LOVES going to any sports game. We should be better at planning activities without the kids. Note to self. :) Looks like lots of fun!
So much fun!
So amazing that you got to go up the crown! I'm am so jealous you live so close!
Okay, I really want to move to the East coast. You guys are always doing the FUNNEST things! What a fun opportunity for you guys to live somewhere that is so close to so many big attractions! Also, I love your family picture. Your boys are adorable.
