A few weekends ago, we traveled over to the East Side of Manhattan and took the tram to Roosevelt Island. It's a small two mile long island that is part of Manhattan. It historically housed the penitentiary and then the mental hospitals. The penitentiary was moved to Riker's Island and the mental hospitals were moved to Ward's Island which is also in the East River but a bit further up. Now it is a very expensive place to live as well as housing two of the city's skilled nursing facilities (meaning they're like the hospital I work at in that they service all people regardless of insurance). And now for the pictures:
You catch the tram on the East side. You just swipe your metro card to get on.
It was a fun family day.

This is looking out the window toward the island. The descent down onto the island is pretty steep. It doesn't feel like your falling down quickly, but visually it's a bit strange.
They're stabilizing one of the original mental asylums that was on the island. This one was at the southern end right before the Franklin D. Roosevelt memorial at the end of the island.

Oh man I love this face
How can you resist?!
