The Statue of Liberty

Our final day of our New Jersey trip was spent at Liberty State Park and touring the Statue of Liberty.

I knew someone had to have gotten a picture of Joe in his suit since I didn't have one. And I was right. So here is my hubby all dressed up. It doesn't happen often. Maybe every 5 years or so. But doesn't he clean up nice?

Six Flags Great Adventure

Day 2 of our New Jersey trip was a surprise for the kids. We had made plans to go to Six Flags Great Adventure for the day. When we got there even CJ was shaking his arms in the air and saying, "Yes! Yes! Yes!" So I'd say that was a good choice. The weather was looking a little iffy for the day with showers in the forecast. However, we made it through with barely a drop on us.
