Tuesday found us with plans to go to the Crown of the Statue of Liberty. Mind you I had to buy these months ago as they only allow a limited number of people up per day. I checked online to make sure the blizzard wouldn't be causing problems still and from the internet it looked like we were good to go......WRONG......We go to the ferry and there was a silly little sign stating the the Lady was CLOSED for the day. Thanks for letting me know people......Grrrrrr. On to Plan B which we didn't have but turned into playing in the snow and walking Wall Street with all it's Blizzard blanketed splendor. I love this town.
This was the most surreal hour and a half of the whole trip. We made our way out to Howard Air Force Base (which is no longer an AFB) and found our old house. Just looking at the photos I get emotional all over again. Not that I broke down crying or anything but it was really weird standing in a place that holds so many memories. Here is me freaking out that we found it!!! Our old Street! Coffey Avenue! Exploring the old digs! This stairwell led up to the door in the kitchen. It was a little creepy so I just filmed from where I was. :-/ I don't do creepy. Here we are in front of 60A Coffey Ave! That "hill" behind my mom seemed so much bigger when we lived there. I remember my dog running down it and tripping, which led to a head over heels tumble that still makes me laugh when I think of it. And that fence used to be a favorite spot for three toed sloths to hang out. ...
