9/5 NYC

After a short rest with the Hubbard's in Connecticut, Carrie, Emily, Summer, Rhonda and Jeff headed to New York. We drove to New Haven then took a train to Manhattan. Then Jeff, Summer and Rhonda took a subway and ferry to the Statue of Liberty while Carrie and Emily went to the Metropolitan Museum. 

We climbed hundreds of stairs to the top of the base of the statue. 

Next we rode the ferry to Ellis Island and learned about the immigration experience for millions of people. 
We met the girls' moms in Central Park and dined on NY style pizza and cookies. The kids climbed rocks in Central Park. 
We shopped at the Corner Bookstore and played at a park before heading for home.
We were late getting to the train station, but fortunately our train was late!

8/23 Little Big Horn

 We left our free campsite west of Yellowstone, drove across Montana and visited Little Bighorn Battlefield and visitors center. Summer earned her 3rd Junior Ranger badge. Then we camped in another free site nearby. Summer relaxed while the rest of us bathed in the river. The cicadas were very loud.
