New York

When the four of us arrived home we were greeted by my mother and uncle. The next day back we drove to New York to visit Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. This was the first time Emily and I have been in New York since the twin towers. Over the next few days my mom, sister, and I went to see some much-missed family. 

Old train station, it looked like a scene straight out of a post-apocalyptic film.

Took the ferry from Jersey to Ellis, then to the statue, then back to Jersey.

My great grandpa's name on the wall. Carl Lundgren came over to America from Sweden in 1924.

Statue and the skyline. If you look closely you can see the construction of the new World Trade center in the background.
