Trip Home to NY and NJ - Day 2

On Sunday, Chris, Kate, and I drove to Liberty State Park in Jersey City so Kate could see Lady Liberty in the flesh. Or at least her backside. Kate, as soon as she spotted her. She screamed like a groupie. Kate asked if she could see The Statue of Liberty's face, but I told her only New Yorkers get to see it. People in New Jersey get her tushy. A storm was brewing and the wind suddenly picked up. Kate took the opportunity to bust out some Lady Liberty-inspired hip-hop moves. A patch of Black-Eyed Susans. Camera-shy Kate. In the background (the white tents), they were setting up for the All Points West Music & Arts Festival with Radiohead and Jack Johnson. You know you're old and unhip when you recognize a singer because he's on the "Curious George" soundtrack. And because your 3-year old daughter's preschool class plays his music. Kate wanted to be ready in case it rained. Aside from the roadies setting up for the concert, I think we were the only Americans there. Kate and Halabugi watching a "Little Einsteins" DVD after dinner.
