There are only two lasting bequests we can can hope to give our children. One of these is roots; the other, wings. -William Hodding Carter, Jr.

Ellis Island
Diana and I spent the time at Ellis Island pretty much on our own. We enjoyed exploring the building were so many immigrants entered our country. Diana found both Beattys and Denneys. I have no idea if we're related to any of them, but it was still cool. The upstairs rooms were filled with items brought by immigrants. There were so many photos, pieces of clothing and personal items. It was fun to look at them all. Outside is a wall covered with names of immigrant families who contributed to the restoration of Ellis Island. Amazing to walk through such a historical place!

Ellis Island was my favorite! I could have been there about 5 hours longer.
