The Statue of Liberty and the Ellis Island Immigration Museum

I have never really thought that I would be travelling to the other side of the world for New York City. It was a dream come true, especially that I've taken the trip with my husband. It was a case of "we'll always have New York City" scenario for me. My succeeding posts wouldn't just be about my art and passion for quotable quotes but also about our memorable adventures. This series would be about New York City through my lens and how it was preserved in my memory.

THE STATUE OF LIBERTY

AND THE ELLIS ISLAND IMMIGRATION MUSEUMThis was the first thing that we saw that made me really feel that we're indeed in America. It wasn't white as I thought it would be. It was a huge chunk of green. My mind went, "so this is Liberty?". We went around the park and the souvenir shop. There wasn't really much thing to do but to take pictures and savor the fact that Liberty is upclose and personal.

SUPERWOMOM'S NOTES
The Statue of Liberty National Monument and the Ellis Island Immigration Museum can be reached through a short ferry ride either on the New York or New Jersey side. Packaged tours abound. We purchased the New York City Pass good for 7 days. It saved us a lot of time and energy since the Pass included 40 major attractions in New York City.
