Took a trip to Liberty and Ellis Islands today to get up close and personal with the Statue of Liberty.

Despite the cold there were still plenty of tourists out.

The security was tight, just like at the airport. I had my leatherman on me so got stopped and got told I either throw it out or turn back. My brother gave it to me as a gift so couldnt throw it out (!) so I went back outside and hid it in the snow and proceeded threw through the security check.

We're going back for it now. Hopefully it's still there...
