On Saturday we went to the Statue of Liberty, a place Jim has wanted to visit since the second we landed at JFK. The weather was a little dreary, but our trip was anything but. We ate some lunch by Lady Liberty, and enjoyed her goodness!
It was a day full of awesome chance meetings. We were in line for the ferry when Jim saw an old friend from the MTC. In talking to him (and his fiance...they got engaged YESTERDAY!), it turns out that he served his mission with one of our closest friends here in NYC, Jon. AND, it just so happened that Jon and Diana (and baby Dabid) and her sister, husband and kiddies were at Liberty Island also enjoying a much needed relief from law school. We all met up and had a blast spending time together. Diana's niece, Livy, is such a doll and played so well with T. By the end of the trip he was calling Lady Liberty the Statue of Livy!
Jim sang these words ALL morning "people all around the world, we're going to America!" 
Ellis Island was remarkable, but unfortunately we were a little bit tired (and T was a little cranky after not having a nap two days in a row) so we just did a quick walk-through and then headed out. Someday we'll go back there and really soak in all the coolness ;)
