It is spectacular but only takes ten minutes.
Can't beat the Staten Island Ferry IMHO

Staten Island ferry is certainly a bit cheaper than our ferry over to Vermont which costs $12 or $13 one way..

That's a fun one but my god some of the locals come across as a bit menacing.
Last spring we were on there and a tiny girl, around two came up to my little son and smiled at him. His Mom yelled out, 'get the f*** over here!' and roughly yanked her away from us! I tried to smile at them to reassure her it was ok if our toddlers interacted but frankly I was scared. My kids had never seen anything like it, I'll never forget it.

No we are 150 miles north of the finger lakes; St. Lawrence Valley, north of the Adirondack State Park. Finger Lakes are beautiful though; we spent a few days down there this summer, Hammondsport, Corning etc.

Oh nice...must be a long, cold winter in those parts I'd imagine? Maybe even more frigid than Maine.
