Today was the only day we had to get up and be somewhere. Of course we were a little late, what do you expect with 3 girls getting ready and the subway train we were supposed to take needing repair! Today we had our tickets for the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island...good thing I got them in advance! We did have to wait a while to get on a ferry. First stop was the statue. We were lucky enough to get crown tickets. Boy was that a climb! The last steps were in a small, spiral staircase. The crown was tight quarters, but a nice view.
Next stop was Ellis Island. How humbling to know the sacrifices my family made to come to this blessed country. How different my life would be had they not. We were able to search the records for family, even though my family has the copies, it was still exciting to find them and see their information and a picture of the ship they came over on.
After the ferry ride back we found a yummy pasta restaurant where we stuffed ourselves...can't let good food go to waste right?
The girls and I went and saw Wicked at the Gershwin Theater while Mark went to watch the Suns game. Wicked was very good! This was my first time seeing it and the girls second time. My aunt got us amazing seats.
