New York!

I am never going to get caught up on my blogging if I don't finish blogging about my summer vacations!

After I went to Duck Beach I drove up the coast in a car with 5 strangers for 9 hrs! It was very very very long! But I finally made it to NYC!

The first day I was there Mallori had to work so I was on my own...

I decided to go to Statton Island because there are pretty views of the city there.




There is a cool 9/11 memorial over there and when I got there the Fire Department was there looking at it. It was cool to see them there remembering their friends they had lost.





When I got off the Ferry in NYC I just walked around. I found the Trinity Church and Ground Zero. There still isn't a lot there which is sad after almost 10 years. But the plans look really cool for what they want to do.


The rest of the day I spent in Bryant Park, which is now my favorite park. It is Small and there are tables and chairs throughout with grass in the middle. I spent a few hours there and could have spent a lot longer.

Then I met Mallor and we went to Queens and went to a Mets game. I love Baseball so this was awesome!




The next day we went to the bronx zoo. This was the hottest day ever! We seriously almost died. The heat + humidity could have killed us.



That night after we had cooled off we went to see the play Cast Me if You Can. It was fun to see it but the songs weren't as catchy and the acting was just ok, but I am still glad we went.


The next Day my friend Ashley, who works for Delta and flys for free, came and hung out with me!
We walked A LOT and just saw the sights. We went Bouchon Bakery, which is so yummy. Carin loves it and has brought me stuff from there so it was fun that I got to go there in person.


Then we spent like 10hrs in Chinatown. Ashley bought so much stuff and I just bought some purses and a "Tiffany" ring. I love chinatown!

Then we met Mallori for a yummy italian dinner and then we went back to Mallori's apartment because we were so tired and I had to wake up early to catch the train to Delaware!

It was such a fun trip and I love NYC! I really feel like it would be fun to live there for a year after I graduate... Just what my mother wants to hear!!!

I forgot how hot it was I tried to block it from my mind. On Friday last week it was even hotter 103 + humidity + subways (no AC) = one hot lady! I'm impressed by how many pictures you took when you were on your own.
