Dear T. J.,

Grandpa and I are having a wonderful time in New York City. Yesterday we took a ferry to the Statue of Liberty. As we were eating our lunch near the statue, a seagull swooped down and stole Grandpa's tomato sandwich right out of his hand! We laughed while we watched him gobble the whole thing. We took lots of photos to show you.

Love ya, Buddy!
Grandma
