New York!!!

One absolutely crazy day!! Started at midnight. Kate, Camille, Kelli and I got on a bus at Union Station in DC. The 5 hour trip to New York was not fun. None of us could get comfortable or really get much sleep. 

Me by our bus as we first arrived in New York!

We walked around for a few minutes and then found some breakfast at one of the only open places.. McDonald's. Not what I would use as my first choose, but cheap and the smoothies are decent.

Time Square early in the morning before too
much traffic.

We walked to Rockefeller Plaza after that. Made signs and stood out in the crowd for the Today Show.

After being there for a few minutes we decided to take a cab to Battery Park. We wanted to get there early so that we could catch the first ferry out to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

From the Statue of Liberty.

Me and the Statue of Liberty!!

Beautiful skyline. I love big cities. They are so pretty and the weather was absolutely gorgeous.

Once we got back to shore we made our way into the city. We stopped by the church on Wall Street and Broadway (National Treasure). That church has a graveyard which happens to be where Alexander Hamilton is buried. Then we made our way to the Freedom Tower and the 9/11 Memorial.

      


Then we did a little bit of shopping. We all got small items. Which was good because then we did have a ton to haul around with us all day. I ended up getting some cute earrings. After shopping we went to Little Italy and had some lunch. The waiter even sang a song for one of  my roommates. We walked through SoHo after that. I brought some sunglasses on the street for $5.

Once done with that we went to Grand Central Station.

We then walked what seemed like forever to Central Park. And it was quite a walk. Once we got to Central Park we decided to take a little bit of a rest... basically we took a nap in Central Park. 

Once a little bit rested and renewed we went to J.W, Swartz. Which is a huge toy store. Then we walked to Carnegie Deli for dinner, which is across the street from Carnegie Hall. 

Sandwich from Carnegie Deli!! Super good!!

After dinner we walked back to Times Square for a few minutes. Went to the M & M' s store and the Hershey's store. Then we walked to where our bus picked us up to go back to DC. 

We got back to DC around 3 am and went home and to bed. Good day to have church at 3 pm because we could sleep in. Awesome day in New York!
