Another return visit. Amazing as always and this time we got to share it with our Granddaughter. We did not get crown tickets as there is a 6 month wait now; we will have to plan the next trip sooner.

This was a return trip but this time we spent more time at Ellis Island due to the Statue of Liberty being closed for remodeling. This site is a must visit site with so much to take in.

This is such an inspiring site to visit. We spent our day exploring the Statue. We got to take in the views from the crown. We will have to come back to take in Ellis Island.
