Train Jumping

This morning we got up nice and early to take the 50 minute Subway ride downtown to Battery Park. Our goal was to use our passes to board a boat heading out to Liberty Island. About 2/3 of the way there, Leigh pointed to a sign that said we needed to be in the first 5 cars to disembark at the South Ferry stop. We, of course, were nowhere near the front of the train. We spent the next 4 stops hopping 1-2 cars forward and jumping back in before the doors closed. Reminded me of all the movies that show people running to catch the subway!  Finally we had arrived and OOOPS! Leigh forgot her City Pass which would allow us to board the boats. So...we decided to visit the 9/11 Memorial instead. We hopped onto another train and viewed the Memorial Pools. Now we are lunching back at the apartment, grabbing Leigh's pass, and planning the rest of our day!
