New York City, Day One

As I mentioned below I finally got some of the pictures from our NYC trip uploaded this weekend. I whittled my massive 500+ photos down to a Reader's Digest 90+. Here are some of my favorite's from Day One, which we spent at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Ellis Island was one of my favorite parts of our trip, and I literally photographed almost everything up to 3/4 of the way through when I realized my battery was almost dead! Don't worry, I'm not posting all those, ha. I plan on posting more on the rest of our trip this week, but if you're impatient you can view them all here. Side note- the postcard featured is for the S.S. Celtic which is the ship that my family came over on in 1909, and the names shown includes my great-grandfather, Thomas Tumilson.
