Seymours Take Manhattan!

After the birthday parties were over (well, for this weekend, anyhow!) Dad, Mom and I jumped on the boat and headed for Manhattan. Dad took Monday off so we left Sunday morning (early!!) for the city...as you might notice from the shot above, we didn't have the best weather but the scenery more than made up for it. Here is daddy driving our boat past the Statue of Liberty...so AWESOME!!

We docked the boat in Liberty State Park at Liberty Landing Marina... great location and a fantastic view of lower Manhattan. By chance, the All Points West festival was going on that weekend and we were able to check it out by walking along the boardwalk adjacent to the festival. And later in the evening. Mom and Dad listened to Coldplay playing live...and the didn't even have to leave the boat!

Here I am with daddy on our walk...check out that view in the background. Earlier in the day we took a ferry into Manhattan for a little shopping and lunch, which was a great way to spend the rainy party of the day.

Now it's mommy's turn to pose with me. If I seem a little distracted it is because daddy was so wonderful and bought me a new doll, which has not left my side since we bought it on Sunday. So mommy is holding onto her here and I'm just making sure that she is OK.

This was really the highlight of our weekend: up close and personal with Lady Liberty. We pulled the boat up really, really close to the statue and took some fantastic photos. For more of our photos from the weekend, check out our online gallery. Thanks so much Mom and Dad for a wonderful weekend!! I hope I was a good girl on the boat. Love, Charlotte
