Thirty-ninth Post Ever...

"LUCY! I'm home!!!"

Well, here I am, back at home. (For a while, until we leave again next saturday to go to 3Hills) Anyways, I had SO much fun in New York! It was crazy fun! The first day we were there, we shopped, and shopped, and ate some extremely yummy pretzels that tasted like hot dogs if you dipped them in mustard. I bought a pair of shoes, two hats, a t-shirt, a magnetic frame, and two belts. We saw the Empire State Building too, but we didn't go up because there was ZERO visibility that day, and really, who wants to go up the Empire State Building to look at fog/smog! We also saw a "show" on Broadway...if you could call 'Over the Hedge' a show. Never in my life have I heard so many people laugh at one movie. It was quite funny just to listen to these people laugh. Second day we went out to Battery Park via subway, and we got on the ferry and went to Liberty Island. We figured eating hot dogs on Liberty Island was a good touristy thing to do, so eat hot dogs we did! And then we got back on the ferry and went back to the hotel. Then we figured we could use a little more shopping, so I bought boots at the Manhattan Mall, and we had some more REALLY delicious pretzels, and I bought a game for the Gamecube that Nicole and I got for Christmas. We also went into Daffy's: The discouont store for Millionaires. We then had a fantastic supper at some Mexican restaurant by the hotel. Then we had this super long day trying to get home! We were up for something like 22 hours the day we came home, 'twas crazzzy!

And yeah, that's pretty much our trip in a slightly large nutshell.

I figured that I could kill two birds with one stone on my pictures for NY and put them in this fun album that Dad has set up for me on the Computer!
