Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island

The Statue of Liberty has been something I have wanted to see, so it was top on the list when we were in NYC.  We caught the 9am ferry on Wednesday, May 29th to visit Lady Liberty.   

These were the views from the pedestal.  We were able to go inside the statue, but not up to the crown, the stairs just did not sound worth it.  

 A new museum opened 2 weeks before our trip so we were lucky to see the new show and exhibits.  It was a very nice museum.  We saw the original torch and a face that was formed the way the original was.

 Ellis Island was the next stop.  We enjoyed learning a little history and speaking with the Sister Missionaries who serve in the Family History Library on the island.    The picture with the puzzle is an intelligence test that some not many had to complete on Ellis Island.  With Dad's help we were able to complete it.  Way to go Flamms!

Here we are on the ferry back to NYC.
