Liberty

The New Colossus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Around the national park

Sandy Hook is right across from Manhattan--you can see the Brooklyn Bridge and the skyline yet it was almost deserted! Beautiful!!Old Military base with cool buildings all over--

Johns Hopkins Homewood campus

Beautiful campus!! Noah is in love with the school--after talking with admissions people and learning more about their programs--he loved it! They don't encourage early admission before 17 so it would work well with him going to OSSM--

Ace of Cakes

We just happened to pass by charm city cakes on the way back from Hopkins--neat!
