It's interesting when you learn something while you are on vacation. Now for those of you that no me know I am from Jersey. I have been to NYC plenty of times to see family and go to games. But the thing is a lot of the sites that the city is no for I have never seen that is until this trip.
When my wife and I had a conversation about this she was surprised to know I have never made it out to see Lady Liberty. Then when she asked me why I told her that it never was a priority. Not a priority to see one of the great landmarks of this great country!
I don't know if that was the way I was brought up or just one of those things that we just took for granted. I knew that needed to change and didn't want that to be the same for my child. So it took me 38 years to finally get out there to see her and it was worth it. It was also one of the highlights of vacation for my daughter.
Now the thing that makes this even more interesting is that a lot of the people I knew were the same way and never really thought about seeing it an other things also. I did this for the Empire State Building and the World Trade Center. Got to see at least one of the two of them.
So, I am curious if those of you that are reading this believes the same thing. Do we take what is in our backyard for granted? Do you want to change that for your kids?
