     I have no idea what's wrong with my blog editor, but it hasn't loaded at all in days. I guess today was the right day to write. :)
     Today me and dad took our bikes (which we took to New York with us) to Liberty State Park about ten minutes away. It's a huge park right next to Liberty Island and Ellis Island. Once we arrived, we rode around the whole park, down piers, through the New Jersey Marina and yacht club, pedaled down parking lots, through Jersey City and down it's streets, then stopped and rode a water taxi to Manhattan. Once there, in Manhattan, we rode through the South part of the island, or the Financial District. I rode down the streets, around Battery Park, and right by the new World Trade Center or Freedom Tower (Which is almost halfway built). We then rolled our bikes up to the World Financial Center Plaza next to the Freedom Tower to eat. After we ate, we rode more in the city and back to New Jersey on a Water Taxi. We rode more around the park, helped some people get their bike chain back on track, and called it a day as we rode our bikes back to the truck- joking about our fun day.
     Here are some pix.

On the Water Taxi. Next Stop- New York City! 

After our ride through New York. Back in Liberty State Park.

     I've been everywhere with my new bike I got a few weeks ago! Kentucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York. Uptown by Central Park and downtown in the Financial District. And- in Florida, Tennessee, and Georgia this Summer.
     Anywhoo, after we got back we told our stories to everyone, uploaded our pictures, then ate at Outback. Besides, I think I deserve Outback after riding my bike for more than twenty miles, right? :)
