Today Alexander, Rebecca, Nicholas, (and Olive) took their first ferry trip! Our destination: the Ellis Island of the west, Angel Island. It is where most Asian immigrants entered the U.S., along with Russians, Australians, and other ethnicities. It was open as an immigration facility from 1910 to 1940. It was really great to learn a little about this part of our nation's rich history - not to mention to see how super excited Alexander was to be on the boat!
