On Labor Day (today) we took the boat to Liberty Island to visit the Statue of Liberty. Did not snag tickets to visit the crown (only 240 people a day can get up there, and tickets are reserved into December), but we got to see all the exhibits in the pedestal. Then it was on to Ellis Island, which we visited for only an hour and a half because our energy was flagging and we had to get back to the hotel for our introductory reception for the cruise. My college roommate Paul Rosta was able to join us for the duration. We got lots of photos.
Weather was again great: mostly cloudy but breezy and warm. We had a late dinner of grilled halibut at a place called Smith and Wollensky's (actually, their adjacent grill). I'd never heard of them, but apparently they're an exclusive chain with franchises in a number of big cities across the country. Basic great food -- steaks and seafood -- done simply but very well.
Our vacation is going great!
