New York: Part 4

The next day Mom, Dad, and Lincoln went back home and the rest of the crew went walking around New York City and looked at a bunch of sites. Like Carnegie Hall and a lot of awesome looking buildings. We went and walked around Central Park which was so big!! We went to John's pizza. The ambiance was so awesome. It was pretty dim but it was awesome.

Later that night we went to Radiocity and watched the Rocketts Christmas Spectacular! It was so fun! They are amazing! It was a great experience!

Sorry my computer is being lame and so the pictures are out of order.

New York: Part 3

The next day in New York City I woke up sick. Seriously. It's like "Are you kidding me!?" So I was hanging out in the hotel for the morning super sick and I get this phone call from a random number. I didn't answer it and then I got a voicemail. I check it and I hear "Lacy! It's your brother!" I thought.. Mike? I just saw you two days ago? Then I was like.. LUKE! OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH!!!! I just started bawling because I missed the phone call! Luke was supposed to call because he was on his way to Argentina. I called my dad and told him and then I called the number back and he answered the phone! I was freaking out and we were both crying. It was a great experience.

Later that day we met up with Mike, Heather, Logan, Lauryn, and Lincoln. (Londyn stayed with friends because she was sick) We walked around and shopped and went to the hotel and got freshened up and we all went and ate at this awesome thai restaurant. We then took the subway to Macy's. There was an awesome band playing in the subway station. The subway ride was so fun! We got to Macy's so that the kids could go see Santa! That Macy's store had 9 stories!! So crazy! While we were waiting we got another call from Luke! We were supposed to talk to him for awhile but his companion took up most of the time so we only got an hour to talk to him. We all were bawling right there in the food court. It was so sad. We just miss him so much.

We then walked outside and looked at the museum quality window displays. They were beautiful. We all walked to the Rockefeller Center and took picture by the Rockefeller Tree. It was HUGE!!

New York: Part 2

AHHHH I can't believe I still haven't wrote about New York!!

After a couple of days we went to NEW YORK CITY!! It was so amazing. When we got there I couldn't believe my eyes. Looking down the streets and it was like the row of buildings never ended. One thing I noticed was that everybody HONKS. It's sooo annoying and completely unnecessary. We first went to the hotel and dropped off our suitcases and then we went walking around. We went to 5th avenue, which is an amazing shopping district! Wow! I finally got to go to H&M!! I've been dying to go there!! It was so amazing. I was freezing and so I bought a big ol jacket for $20! It was so awesome. We walked around for awhile and decided to go to the Empire State Building. It took a long wait but we finally got up there! It was so surreal. Then we went and hung out in Times Square. So fun. and BRIGHT!!
