The Statue of Liberty
We went to the Statue of Liberty yesterday.
It's a good thing we bought our "reserve" tickets online. We arrived at the dock only to find a line where the end couldn't be found. We walked up to the area that said reserve tickets and walked right through the metal detectors. Then onto our boat. Had we waited in line we probably would have waited about two hours. It was so awesome to not have to wait in line.
When we got on the island the girls got settled and I got in line for the monument. Just over an hour later I was climbing the steps to see inside Lady Liberty.
The inside is pretty cool. They have some pretty cool glass windows that allow you to see the inner structure of the statue.
This photos proves I was there.

Hannah made me lunch
The other day as I was making packing my lunch for work. Hannah came in and said, "Here daddy, I have your lunch." It came complete with a cooling rack and everything.
I said, "Ok, thank you, please put it in my bag for me." And she did. So when I got to work, I had this delicious sandwich for lunch.
She takes such good care of me. Or at least I'm sure she will when I'm old.

Rokkaku kite
The smaller versions are actually for kite fighting. But if you build them big and change up the bridle they are quite stable.
I wasn't able to hook a camera to it on this day. Sadly it was just too windy for a kite this big. It gave me a workout just holding it. The next day of course there was zero wind.
I was just happy that it would fly, and that the day was so awesome, and that we got out of the house, and that the girls enjoyed the day.

Kite spars
Getting the kites spars ready. The kite being 8 ft tall needs three separate sections to make up the spine of the kite. I have a graphite ferrule that I cut from a longer rod, that I've glued into a couple of the spars.
Epoxy, that stuff's crazy strong.
