Weekend visit to Statue of Liberty

We visited Statue of Liberty from New York many times, but this is the first time we went from Liberty Center of New Jersey and I think its better from Jersey than NY as there was less crowd and we can park the car right next to the ferry place. No hassle to get into trains and etc... Here are some pictures I want to share with you all
