Lackawanna Coal Mine

Posted on by Posted in Sightseeing .

Today, we are touring a coal mine that has been closed since 1966! We were several hundred feet UNDERNEATH the ground! The coal mine was cold and wet! The mine still had some coal in it, but it wasn’t able to extracted anymore. There were tons of cool things to learn and see in the mine. Not handicap friendly unfortunately since we had to take a tram like vehicle down the old cart tracks and the tunnels are kinda narrow. We enjoyed it very much!

Riding the Staten Island Ferry

Posted on by Posted in Sightseeing .

Of of all the ferries we’ve taken, this is my most favorite! We rode right past the Statue of Liberty! It was cold and rainy but we made the best of it! It was pretty cool and I recommend this place to all of those who visit New York!

Visiting Lake Ontario

Posted on by Posted in Sightseeing .

Today we are visiting the second great lake, Lake Ontario. The water was cold-ish but bearable. The water was also super clear! We enjoyed making rock towers and Amber found her throne. Its great for family to visit but not very handicap accessible. Its great to visit on a warm day and you can swim in the lake. It has a little beach area around the lake, but in some spots its very rocky. Now join us on this adventure.

 

Exploring Ellis Island (Island of Hope)

Posted on by Posted in Sightseeing .

Ellis Island was the gateway to the United States for over 12 million immigrants. It was the nation’s busiest immigrant inspection station from 1892 until 1954.

For the majority of immigrants, Ellis Island truly was an “Island of Hope” – the first stop on their way to new opportunities and experiences in America. For the rest, it became the “Island of Tears” – a place where families were separated and individuals were denied entry into the United States.

Ellis Island is located in New York Harbor within the waters of New Jersey. Ellis Island is accessible by ferry from the states of New York and New Jersey. We visited from Jersey City, New Jersey because parking was free and it was easier to get to.

Although Ellis Island is separate from Liberty Island, it is part of the Statue Of Liberty National Monument.

HOW-TO Replace Battery On A Polaris Sportsman 550 EFI ATV

Posted on by Posted in How-To .

Today, I am replacing our 4-wheeler battery. She sat around in our storage unit for a while till the battery finally gave out. We bought a new one and replaced the battery. We have used the 4-wheeler since then and she runs perfectly, guess I didn’t mess it up, LOL! It was actually really easy to do, I expected it to be harder than it was. I probably wouldn’t have been able to work my way around it if it wasn’t for dad telling me how to do it along the way. I’m so glad the 4-wheeler is working again. Let me know how you think I did the the comments!

HOW-TO Install A Roof Basket On A Ladder Rack

Posted on by Posted in How-To .

Now that we have added the the ladder rack, its time to give one last upgrade. We added this roof basket so we can put some boxes and items related to that on the top of the truck. You have to be careful on what you store up there that way you can still drive under some bridges.

Today we are installing a ladder rack in the back of dad’s truck, Manny. It was hard work and heavy but we managed to pull through and completed within a matter of hours! It was fun and a challenge, but I’m so glad that it is over!

 

Rainy Day At The Statue Of Liberty

Posted on by Posted in Sightseeing .

Today we are visiting the Statue of Liberty. It was a little cold and raining, but nothing we couldn’t handle ;). We had so much fun exploring and learning new things, like that the Statue is run by New York but the island that the Statue stands on is in New Jersey waters!

DISCLAIMER: if you want to walk inside the Statue (like into the crown) you have to reserve your tickets MONTHS in advance……we did not, lesson learned.
