Three weeks later and I still haven’t tired of looking at my totally tourist-tastic pictures! Our final destination while in the Big Apple was to see one of America’s most well-known landmarks, the Statue of Liberty! I love visiting places with a lot of history because there is sure to be tons and tons of [...]

The Great Wall of China photos
