Zach loves Lady Liberty

Zach loves the Statue of Liberty. He wanted to pose for a picture last week, complete with a book and a miniature light saber for his torch!

So if you can't get to New York, or Las Vegas, how about...Red Robin??? Yup. We ate at Red Robin this past summer and Zach remembered their version of the statue. There is a hamburger for a torch and a menu for the book! He settled for us finally taking him to eat there again to see this Lady Liberty. A grilled cheese sandwich and a chocolate milk made the trip even more worth it for him!

At least it was much cheaper than a trip to New York or even Las Vegas for their small version at New York, New York Hotel/Casino. I remember being fascinated with the Statue of Liberty when I was a child. I was able to go see it in person 10 years ago, and it really is spectacular! A childhood dream fulfilled. I would love to do the same for Zach someday. He really wants to go to "Yew Nork" someday! He really CAN say it correctly, but haven't you ever gotten tongue tied and said it that way? I have.

Here I am heading out to the Statue of Liberty in August '98

Me & Meg at Red Robin

What a lucky boy!

I love it! I can't recall ever being fascinated by the Statue of Liberty, but I have been touched by what it represents many times. You have a sweet boy there!

That was cute! I love Red Robin! You must have a scanner? I need one of those for older pics.
