Quick Trip to NYC

So my wonderful husband made arrangements for me to come out to NYC to meet him. He was already there for business and his meeting on Friday got canceled so he flew me out Thursday and we spend Thursday evening through Saturday late afternoon in the city. It was a quick trip, but just the break I needed.
Paul, you're the BEST! I love you.

This is the view coming away from Ellis Island looking toward NYC.

Paul in the Registry Room. After visas, green cards, etc. started going through US embassies the use of Ellis island came to an end. The buildings and grounds where left abandoned and in ruins for many decades. The main building was restored and Ellis Island opened to tourists in 1990.

The Registry Room is beautiful.

You can see Lady Liberty through the one side of the Registry Room doors and windows.

NYC

For the many times that Paul and I have been to New York City we have never been out to the Statue of Liberty or Ellis Island together. Riding the ferry was nice to have the breeze from the open waters instead of the stifling heat and humidity of the city. (NYC was in a heat wave plus more than normal high humidity.)

We did not go up in the base or the Statue (they reopened the statue just over a year ago), long lines. But it was amazing just to walk around it and be next to it.
WE LOVE NEW YORK CITY!
