We have been teasing it for a few weeks, but it is now official. After the Quiz Meet, next Saturday (Sept 27) we will be traveling to Ellis Island for the afternoon! This historic site was the gateway to America for Immigrants for decades and holds thousands of stories of the American Dream. There will be NO Pizza Lunch this time around, but teens should plan to bring their own bag lunch instead. We will be taking the Ferry, so expect to go through security (NO pocket knives!) and to take a brief boat ride.
Costs: $6 for gas + $12 for the Ferry = $18. You may wish to bring some extra for souvenirs or snacks.
What to Bring: (In addition to your Luke scripture portion.) A BAG LUNCH (no large coolers will be allowed past Ferry security), a jacket (it is windy and cold on the ferry)
Cameras are also welcome for the trip, but the usual papparazi will be along to cover most of it.
