Making history

A friend of mine from the med school (mr tom hays) and two of his friends from dc went to see the statue of liberty on one of the coldest weekends to date (this upcoming weekend is looking to be a close contender though, with negative wind chills and all). Aside from the freezing weather, it was a beautiful day out, definitely one that made for great picture taking, and the company was great, so I had a wonderful time :)

it was so cold out and the wind was so bitingly terrible that we ended up standing behind the big white thing in between pictures

tom spotted a hat a wee ways off the path and decided he wanted it. we all thought it was a park ranger's hat, but it ended up being this felt thing...

catching pigeons underneath felt hats is risky business, but someone's gotta do it
