statue of liberty

i didn't have a chance to finish our day yesterday. we did the today show in the morning and the statue of liberty took pretty much the rest of the day. we waited in line for 1 hr. 45 min. to get on the boat. there were many "entertainers" while you waited, most of which were just annoying trying to get money out of you. it was worth it to see once in your life though.

            the ferry that takes you out, i took this of another one once we were on the island

we went to ellis island after liberty island. it was neat to see where hundreds of people came to this country. it was like a little city there when it was up and running. very interesting, i might  post a few pics later. we were there so late in the day we just ate lunch at ellis island. good thing we got most other things in since this was almost all day but the books had told us 5-6 hours so we expected it.
