Today we took the Ferry ride from the NJ side over to Ellis Island, spending two hours there. Note: if you go, don't buy ice cream on Ellis Island, but wait for the Statue of Liberty as you can get a larger waffle cone for less than Ellis Island's soft serve ice cream cone :) That was the only thing we were disappointed in. Then four of us (all but Amy and Jamie) climbed the steps to the highest point they will currently let us go to (which is to the top of the foundation), as they closed the climbing up inside the statue of Liberty in 2001 after the attacks on 9/11.
The kids bought the funny hats and wore them around taking some silly pictures. We had a good time.
After the ferry ride back to NJ, we ate our picnic in the grassy area of the parking lot while Todd chased some pigeons, I guess those steps were not enough of a workout for him! Most of us took some Dramamine during dinner since we still felt like we were on the ferry - not very sea worthy legs :}
We came back and did laundry in the nicest coin laundry mat Amy or I have ever seen.
