My, oh my! Ellis Island, ♥
"Climb aboard!!" Although the immigrants trip wasn't all that great, they finally arrive in oh so amazing Ellis Island. Ellis Island was a big thing for them. It was a big place, with many windows, and very fancy. They probably felt like royalty in a ballroom. It's better than what they are used to, so when they arrived they were very much excited to step a foot in Ellis Island. I know this because they got all fancy just for their arrival, aha. They experienced things like getting a mental test, or having to be checked if they had a sickness. If they were clear, they would let them through, and if they weren't, they would send them back home. Ellis island was a big deal to immigrants back then and it actually made them happy to be here. Now, it's part of history, or should i say US World History. :)
