Today was the last day of my mini-vacation. I had a week off from my internship and I spent it with my family down in Jersey. It's been amazing. I've been spoiled with good food, drinks, nephew and niece, wii-playing, shopping, and lots of fun. The parents were sweet and decided to drive me back to Elmsford NY and as a fun stop we went on a tour to Ellis Island and Liberty Island. Seeing how people traveled before really amazes me. So many people packed everything they could fit into a suitcase and traveled for months over the ocean to an unknown land and future.
Although my trip over wasn't that dramatic, I think I know what some of them felt leaving everything behind and starting over somewhere new. It's thrilling, exciting, lonely, and sometimes scary, and for me it's one of the best things I've done :)
