Side Street Sunday: Liberty Park – Statue of Liberty
The Lady herself the Statue of Liberty.
It was a beautiful scene watching the ships pass by the statue as we cruised along the ferry to meet the impressive Lady of Justice.
Due to the time of day we had a choice to go to Ellis Island or go to Liberty Island, we chose Liberty Island.
Added to the WP Photo Challenge: Change as people came from all over the world to Ellis Island to make a change in their lives.
We are planning on going back soon to tour Ellis Island.

On my way to get information on the wild horses in Corolla my niece and I came across a lighthouse.

Some facts:
- There are 220 steps to the top
- 1,000,000 bricks
- Base of the lighthouse is over 5 1/2 feet thick
