On Saturday, Sept. 17th, we took the downtown tour bus
to the pier so we could get on the two-hour boat tour.
The tour ended in Brooklyn, so we trudged uphill to
hop the bus for the Brooklyn tour before meeting
the family at the Queen restaurant for supper!
This is Brooklyn...there was a large Lebanese
Community here in the early 20th Century!
We added to it on Saturday night with our Shalala,
Smith, and McGann (Irish side) family!
Bud, Bob, And Donna at the restaurant
Claude, Leon, Jennifer, and Michael John
