Statue of Liberty and 9/11 Manhattan Memorial

On my last trip to the Jersey Shore, I discovered that we would  be close to New York City.  The Statue of Liberty has been on my Bucket List for a few years. My big problem is, after years of watching Law and Order, plus Blue Bloods I was a little apprehensive to go there.

I tried to find a hotel in Jersey City that would shuttle us over to the 9/11 Memorial or Battery Park so we could take a ferry to Manhattan. I looked into the subway, I heard the stairs were terribly steep. I also looked into taking a ferry over to Battery Park. It turned out that the hotel I booked in Jersey City was very close to the Holland Tunnel. After a long debate DH and I decided to use the Holland Tunnel.

With a map of where to park and how far it was to the 9/11 Memorial we took the tunnel. Found that it was fairly easy ride into Manhattan and just as easy going south. We found the parking lot and walked to the memorial.
