Today we thought we’d check out Governor’s Island, off the tip of Manhattan.

So we drove into lower Manhattan and got the ferry across from Battery Park. Governor’s Island was just a few minutes away by ferry and a kids paradise. After being devastated by Hurricane Sandy, it has been completely remodeled – it is now filled with a military base and green spaces.

It is full of historic monuments & buildings…

…interesting sculptures…

…Fort Jay…

… numerous fun playgrounds dispersed around the island…

Plus the food trucks come over on the weekends to feed the hungry crowds – yummo!

There is even a quiet grove with hammocks spotted around it for recovery time.
(to keep the peace – only one person per hammock)

Not to mention the awesome views back to Manhattan and of the big lady.

A final stop at Castle Williams
(by then some of our feet were a little sore)

It was a fun little excursion!
