New York...OH MY GOSH!

My parents went away to Vegas together for the weekend while me and my sister Belle got to go to Grammy and Grandy camp! Otherwise known as the Double G's Magical Mystery Camp. We had no clue what we were doing until Thursday: WE GOT TO GO TO NEW YORK CITY! It was awesome! Our Marriott hotel was in Times Square and it was great! Read about it now!

We got to the airport and said goodbye to my mom, and we got on the plane. After the 2 hour plane ride, we got into a taxi and checked into the hotel. Afterwords we did a fun little Midnight Chocolate shopping! We went to the world famous Hershey's chocolate store and I got a Statue of Liberty bear holding Hershey Kisses (which I happily started eating) and we went to bed.

The next day we went to the American Museum of Natural History and saw the Hayden Planetarium show called Journey to the Stars. It was really interesting. We then saw Lizards and Snakes ALIVE! a little exhibit with lots of cool lizards and snakes! In the video we saw there was a flying lizard and snake. Weird!

After the museum we had a horse drawn carriage ride through Central Park! The horse was a nice horse named Smoky. He loved Isabelle, and kissed her at the end of the tour. We saw cool things like the statue of Balto the Dog Who Saved Nome. We also saw the Central Park Zoo and other cool things!

The next day we went and saw really old 1900's boats and weird street performers where one guy shoved himself into a teeny box. It hurt just looking at him! We ate Haagen Dazs ice cream and we went on a cruise ship and saw the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Brooklyn Bridge, Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, Governor's Island, Roosevelt Island and tons more! It was so cool! We also saw Mary Poppins, on Broadway that night! It was the most amazing show I'd ever seen! At the end, Mary Poppins flew over the crowd on her umbrella! We also played a game of Putt-Putt Golf together. The score was:

GRANDY: 306 (not really)
HAYDEN: 19
GRAMMY: 19
ISABELLE: 19

Today we left. I am really sad. I didn't want to leave New York City, but it was really cool.


THANK YOU MOM AND DAD FOR GOING TO VEGAS TOGETHER AND THANK YOU GRAMMY AND GRANDY FOR TAKING US TO NEW YORK CITY!
