I am home from NY! I survived and I didn't get lost and I had plenty of money and my plane didn't crash!
This trip was seriously the best trip of my life. It is so different to not travel with kids. I could eat when I wanted. Sleep when I wanted. I didn't have to worry about a schedule. I could do what I wanted when I wanted.
Jen is the best tour guide. She took me to all the cool places and we never got lost. We did so much between Thursday and Sunday--it is just crazy. We went non-stop and I got to see everything that was on my to do list.
When I first got there I hired a shuttle bus to get me to Jen's. It is way cheaper than a cab but now I know why...
They crammed 11 people in a 10 seater van. Yeah. So un-safe. There weren't even any seat belts. I was scared for my life. Seriously. I just closed my eyes until he dropped me off in front of Jen's apartment.
When I got there, the non-stop fun began. The first night we went to dinner and then off to Time Square for The Ripley's Believe it or not museum.
Here are some fun pictures of that....
Which head is mine????
Here it is. Top left. These are pickled heads. Sick!
This was seriously the funniest moment ever. I sat on the couch to get a picture and there was a FART machine. It went off as soon as I sat. I was so embarrassed. This face was not planned. It was just me in shock of the loud fart!
Then off to all the touristy spots in time square. M&M world, Toys R Us places like that....
---------------------------------
The second day we started early.
We went to Ground Zero and toured the whole financial district area over there. What a neat site. Ground Zero was just amazing. There is so much construction going on so I couldn't get too close.
Then, it was off to The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. We were on a ferry and it was so windy and so musty and humid out. You can tell by all the horrible pictures..... We didn't let the weather stop us though.
On the ferry leaving the city behind........
We also fit China Town in this day. AMAZING! It felt like Mexico all over again. Purses, jewelry, lots of people.....
I got amazing Chanel earrings, a Tiffany ring, and a cute head band.....
Totally fake knock-offs but you get the idea!
----------------------------------
Saturday was my favorite day!
It started off with a run through Central Park. Then to H &H for the best bagels EVER!
Then, it was off to Coney Island.
It was about an 1 hour and 20 minute subway ride to get there.
The weather was beautiful! It was suppose to rain all day but it didn't rain AT ALL. It is georgous
We got the famous hot dog's in Coney Island. Way better then AZ's hot dogs...
Then, we rode the scariest roller coaster ($8) that probably should be torn down and built again. I have never screamed so loud or laughed so hard before! Big mistake to eat then ride, by the way.
Then we walked the board walk and rolled up or jeans and walked in and around the ocean. It was beautiful. It was quiet. It was peaceful. My favorite part of the trip...Except for the part where I set my camera down in the sand and BROKE it. It won't work AT ALL! I got sand in it!
Then we walked around and ate some more.....
Then, it was off to Chicago the Broadway after Coney island. What an experience. Now I can say I've seen a Broadway in NY!
