Spring Vacation


Zac and I just went on our spring vacation to New York and Washington D.C. We went with two of our friends Trav and Melissa Story. We arrived in New York early Saturday after flying all though the night. Once we arrived we went on a city tour since we could not check in until 2:00. Once we checked in we were so tired from traveling all night, we crashed for a couple of hours. Once we had rested we went to Times Square for Dinner. After we ate we asked the waitress where we should go to for New York Cheese Cake. She sent us to a place called Juniors; once we got there we decided to get a small cheese cake since it was cheaper than buying it by the slice. Once we tasted the cheese cake it ruined us it was the most wonderful piece of cheese cake we have ever tasted, even better than the Cheesecake Factory.

On Sunday we went to see the Yankees play the Mariners we only made it through three innings. The weatherman said it was going to rain, but he was wrong it was HOT and SUNNY. So I was burnt to a crisp. After we left the game we decided to stroll through Central Park. Everyone was out in the park since it was such a lovely day and we just enjoyed the park. After our stroll we went to the Met and sat on the steps for a bit and were entertained by the street performers. We also went on a night tour that night to see all of the city lights.

On Monday we went the museum of natural history where the movie the Night at the museum was filmed. We had lunch at Carnegie Deli Melissa and I shared a sandwich and Zac and Trav shared a sandwich. The sandwiches were so big, and the meat was so yummy. We also went shopping and then over to serendipity where we were able to get a frozen hot chocolate YUMM.


On Tuesday we went to see the Manhattan Temple, Lady Liberty, Battery Park, and the New York Stock Exchange. We also went to get Pizza at a yummy pizzeria on our way to the pizzeria I saw a Pinkberry soft serve ice cream. I said oh we have to go there after the pizza. Once we came back to get our yummy treat at Pinkberry I had strawberries and kiwi on my ice cream. Ohhhh let me tell you it was devine. Zac had one with fruity pebbles, pineapple, and strawberries. We all kind of turned our nose up to Zac’s combo but he loved it and wanted to go back for another. After all of the yummy food we just eat we decided it was the perfect time to walk the Brooklyn Bridge it was really cool to walk across and see the view of New York City. That night we had tickets to see the Broadway musical Little Mermaid. It was good but not as good as others that I have seen.

Well that was our trip to NYC we had a lot of fun. I will have to do the DC photos next and write up that experience.

What an awesome trip. The frozen hot chocolate looks so good and the cheesecake--can you tell I love food? What'd you think of the Glass Castle? I'm flattered by the choice but you'll love it!

We go to D.C. every year and Lisa gets so mad because I never want to see the sights but I was never interested until I saw how much fun you had. One thing you'll have to see next time is the Holocaust Memorial Museum, you'll never look at life the same.
