Last week I attended a two-day conference in Connecticut. Since it was less than a half day drive, my family rode along. They enjoyed the sights in Connecticut while I was in meetings.
On the way home we stopped by Staten Island and rode the ferry over to Manhattan. The ferry traveled right by the Statue of Liberty–something our first grader has been wanting to see.
I had also driven through Times Square, NYC on our way up to Connecticut the first night. So they got to see all the city lights.
Total cost of our NYC sights…$2.50 parking at the free ferry plus several meals (couldn’t go past IHOP without getting pancakes!)
Thank you to Bec’s Facebook friends for the frugal tips to see NYC on a dime.
