Ellis Island

Yesterday I went to Ellis Island with my dad's parents for the day and had so much fun!  First they picked me up at our apartment at 11:15 ish in a taxi and we went to the harbor, in a taxi.  When we got there we asked someone that worked there if we could get on board early but they said that we could not get on until 1:00 or get in line until 12:30!  Crasy!  So we had to wait on the bench till 12:30 to be the first in line :-(.  When we got on board after security we took the chair seats on the bottom and had a great view out of the open window behind us.  We took a bunch of pictures of The Statue of Liberty on the way and then we finaly docked at Ellis Island!  When we got there we took a bunch of pictures of the beutiful building and then went inside.  When we got inside we vary quickly went to a movie on Ellis Island and what the people had to do there.  Then after the 45min. movie we went to go rent some tourphones.  A tourphone is symylir to a  tiny radio that you type in the station and it will tell you about that station AKA something that will give you a mobile tour.   In the old days the people that came through Ellis Island had to take a medical check, a knolage test, and a bunch of other examines.  I need to go to bed now so that's it for today :-)!  See you tommarow for more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
