Random pics of New York

Here we are in the Registry Room at Ellis Island.  This is where every immigrant waited for their name to be called to "check in" to the United States. This was the first of many steps.  We did not take alot of pics here.  We searched the Ellis Island Records to find Gram's mom and dad but was unsuccessful.  It may have been a difference in spellings but to no avail. 

This is for my sis! Notice the HUGE Dunkin cup :)!

Times Square at it's finest.

 

This is the "Elvis" blue M & M.  There is a 4 story M & M store in Times Square.  That was our only goal and we found it and bought way over-priced m & m's.  We also went to a 3 story Walgreens.  that was fun.

We salute you, Lady Liberty, we salute you as you stand! At the gateway of our nation, with a welcome in your hand....

Our ferry that took us to Liberty Island

There she stands!

Such a great picture!

The lovely couple. The day was perfect and we were just in awe of her! 

New York, New York

Just entering downtown and headed to the ferry docks.

Waiting in Battery Park for the ferry to Liberty Island.  We were actually watching a group of black men performing tumbling and gymnastics but didn't get a picture. We were a little star-stunned!

Here we are with the New York Skyline in the background.  I believe we were on the ferry coming back to Battery Park.

Camping in The Cape

We are enjoying cloudy, rainy Cape Cod in Massachusetts.  Touring all of the sights and staying dry in the camper. Tenting would not be fun this trip!  Stay posted for more.

Always up for a little mini-putt

Our reigning "Hole-in-one" man!  I think he had 2.  He and his dad were the top two golfers.

It was a gorgeous evening in Ludinton, MI.  Rained only on Friday so we enjoyed a ton of outside fun.

Ludington State Park

Our helpers waiting their turns to crank up the camper.

We got 'er up and what a time we had.  We will be taking our "BIG" trip out east to Cape Cod and Plymouth, Mass for 9 days next week.  We had to take a quick weekend to make sure we knew what we were doing.

It is a 2-mile hike out to Big Sauble (saw-bull) lighthouse on Lake Michigan from the campground, just over the sand dunes.  We walked and meandered our way to the lighthouse and back.  We all made it but had a big nap when we got back.

Here we are!!  We made it!  Now to the top!
