State #2 = New York!!

The next state we went to was New York. Here we did so much stuff. Our time in New York was jam packed full of stuff. It was so much fun, but very busy. The first day we took a 2 hour train ride from connecticut to New York. Once we got to Grand Central Station, we walked a couple of blocks to our hotel and left our bags there. Once we dropped off our bags we headed of to the theatre. At the theatre we saw Wicked. It was amazing! I would have liked a lot more dancing though, but it was still excellent! After the play, we walked around and enjoyed Time Square. That night we went to dinner at a place called Juniors. I had a hamburger and the biggest onion ring I had ever see. It was so delicious! The next day we made our way to the Statue of Liberty. It was freezing the entire time, and Jackie spilled all my Hot Chocolate on me, but we still had so much fun and was very thankful to be there. After we got back from the statue we went and saw ground zero. It was all crossed off because they are doing construction for all the new buildings and memorial that they are planning on doing. We also went to the History of Natural Museum, and walked through central park and went to the Central Park Zoo. I wish I had pictures of the Museum, central park, and the zoo, but my memory card got left in Brittneys computer. We had so much fun in New York, and I am so very very thankful and greatful to the Lancasters for allowing me to go with their beautiful, amazing, wonderul, kind, caring, and courageous daughters! It was the best thing I have done in a long time. So, here are some pictures of what went donw in the big apple!

5 state tour! First up, Connecticut.

I am back from my wonderful wonderful trip.I went with my two best friends/sister Donna and Brittney, and their foreign exchange student/little brother Jackie who is from Hong Kong. On this trip we went to 5 different states. So, instead of writing one really long post, I am just going to do it state by state. I can not say enough how wonderful and needed this trip was. Thanks to the amazing, kind, and generous Lancaster family, it was stress free:)! So, the first state we enjoyed was Connecticut. Here is where Donna and Brittneys aunt and uncle lived, and they took us around every where. They were our tour guides the entire trip. They were so cute and so very very generous. They kept telling us that it was our trip and we could do and go where ever we wanted. Thanks to Roberta and Joe, our vacations was fun and stress free. So, what did we do in Connecticut? Well we went to the aquarium the first full day we were there. We went with Roberta, her daughter Christina, and her grandson Ricky who was adorable. We had so much fun watching him and watching our selves. While at the aquarium, I got to pet a shark and a stingray. The shark was smooth, but the sting ray was very slimy. Connecticut is so beautiful. There are trees and little rivers every where. Roberta and Joe even had a little spring/river in their back yard. It was too early in the year, so nothing was too green, but it was still beautiful and unfortunatley really cold the entire trip. So, here are some pictures of our time in Connecticut:
