Ethan's parents came to town last weekend for a 4 day visit. Ethan had Friday off and took them up to the top of the Empire State Building and to the Brooklyn Promenade. We had many good meals while they were in town....the best NY pizza we've tasted so far at Lombardi's, some sinful desserts at Ferrara's---that must be why my pants fit a little tighter today. On Saturday, we spent part of the day at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. It turned out to be a sunny, somewhat warm day and we enjoyed ourselves while we learned more about a piece of American history. We had a fun weekend and we only hope we didn't tire them out too much with all the walking and subway riding.
Here are some pictures from our visit:
This is the original torch, now seen in the museum at the pedestal of the Statue.
Ellis Island, with lovely Jersey City in the background.

Hey,
Were you being sarcastic about Jeresey City being lovely? I hope so...
Miss you two,
Pete
Well, we've never actually been there, so I can't say for sure....but it doesn't look very lovely. :) Especially not as a backdrop for Ellis Island.
