On our second day in NYC we went to see the Statue of Liberty. We started on the NJ side and got onto a Ferry Boat.
Our First stop was to Ellis Island to learn about the thousands of people who came to this country through this building.
This is the main room where all of the people would stand in line to see if they could finish their long journey and enter the US. It was fun to see all of the stories first hand and learn more about why people left there homes to come to our wonderful country.
Once we were done inside the museum we went outside to see the Statue on the near by Island.
We had to get back in line and wait for another ferry to take us to the Statue.
It's so amazing to see the Statue of Liberty getting bigger and bigger the closer we got.
When you first come off the boat you get your first chance to see how big the Statue really is, it's amazing to see in person. You first come to the back side of the statue and then we made our way around the Island.
It was a cool and overcast day but we were still able to see the city across the water, how beautiful to see the city from afar.
We had so much fun waling around the base of the Statue and we were able to snap a quick picture before it stated raining. What a morning we had it is wonderful that we are able to go and see this beautiful Statue.
