Historic Eastern Seaboard Day 11

It is hard to believe we are on day 11 already, and we only have 15 days left, where is the time going.  Today we car pooled it to Liberty State Park to the New Jersey Ferry dock.  We were on our way to Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
Here we are loading the ferry for the Statue of Liberty.
What a view as we approach the Statue.
As we were heading to the dock to unload.
That white tent is security for the Statue, you would of though we were boarding a plan.  Take everything out of your pockets, no water bottles, no backpacks, oh, yah, don't for get the belt. 
They had to rebuild the torch, and they put the original here in the lobby of the Pedestal.
This is a mold of the statues face.
This is looking up from the Observation Level in the Pedestal.
Looking up into the statue from the Observation Level at the stairs going up to the crown.
If you look real close you can see two of our guest waving at us.
One more thing marked off of our bucket list, this was a great visit here at the Statue of Liberty.
After a short boat ride with over 300 people we arrived at Ellis Island Immigration Museum, now I no what it was like as a immigrate came to this new world.  Cyndy and I went to the American Family Immigration History Center looking for relatives that came through here.  The only problem we couldn't find anybody.  It had to do with the way we spell their names I think.
Now we no why we didn't find them, we are at the American Immigrant Wall of Honor.  The next few pictures of the wall are what we found of Cyndy's relatives. 




This is some of the wall, it goes on forever.
Looking from Ellis Island towards New York City.
And this storm moved over the city and really dumped a lot of rain in a short time.  Back to the RV and relax before the start of one more long day in New York City.
