Ground Zero and Battery Park

So My mom admits that she can only do one thing a day,because I had this huge list of things to see in New York today and she was like "lets just do one or two and then go from there" LOL. So today we went to Ground Zero where it was just a big construction site,but still neat to be there.

We then went to a 911 tribute memorial, which was so packed that it started not to be enjoyable, but then I complained to the front desk and they suggested to do the tour backwards and that turned out to be perfect. It was an indescribable feeling that was there. There were pictures of all the people that died in one room, like a big collage. In another room, tons of stuff they found in the mist of the rubble, two that caught my attention was an airplane window that made it and a stuffed animal lamb from a child.
We then walked to Battery Park where you would get on a ferry and go see the statue of Liberty, but my mom's stomach didn't feel so good so I could tell she really didn't want to be in the heat on an overcrowded ferry, so I told her "not a big deal" I could see the statue of Liberty and get the gist of the whole thing. It's cool to see it FINALLY, after all my life hearing about this thing and the meaning of it all, regardless how small it looked from the park.
