Lady Liberty - My Sweet Home Carolina

I still remember the night we moved to New York…I opened our apartment door, dropped everything I was carrying and ran to the window to see her! Lady Liberty is our nation’s iconic American Beauty. Even now, I am still in awe of her! I’ll never grow tired of seeing her everyday.

My hubby had never seen Lady Liberty up close, so we decided to spend an afternoon with her! My heart was so happy riding through New York Harbor with a ferry filled with visitors speaking every language other than English. They had such enthusiasm and excitement to see our magnificent National Monument. Lady Liberty was gifted from France in 1886, symbolizing friendship established during the American Revolution and she is modeled after the Roman Goddess of Liberty. She has been a shining beacon of hope and freedom to countless immigrants fleeing to America for a new beginning. The American Dream awaits!

Every time I see Lady Liberty I’m always reminded of friends and family serving in the armed forces that have fought & are still fighting to protect everything she represents and stands for…our freedom. It is a luxury often overlooked by Americans and denied to millions throughout the world.

I included photos of our recent excursion and also some of my favorite Lady Liberty photos I’ve taken throughout the year! Enjoy!
