Liberty enlightening the world



We did one of those touristy things that you never do because you're from the place and visited Lady Liberty yesterday.  Riley got really into it and being up close with a statue that large really is pretty amazing.  Hannah preferred the wide open spaces of Ellis Island.  Perhaps she can relate to the "immigrant experience" :) Got to admit that seeing the history of how open minded and welcoming our country has been to foreigners in the past gives me hope for its future.
