The Longest Post of All Times...and i want you all to read every word of it

Hello New York! Matt and I went with some friends from APX to New York for a little weekend vacation. We were worried about them making it out of Texas since the hurricane was just passing through but they got to fly out a day early and made it safe and sound. We had such a blast and can't wait to get to go back again. It was so worth going even if it was only for a few days!






We all got up nice and early Sunday morning to go to church. We had to ride the ferry, ride the bus, walk forever and once we got there there was a big ol sign that said the building was CLOSED! We were so sad.


Wicked was the most AMAZING thing ever. I wish wish wish we could have gone to more shows...they are just so dang expensive, but SO worth it. I wish I was Ga-Lenda!


Empire State Building...I'm sure this was really cool BUT I took one look over the edge and went right back down. I thought I was going to barf. Everyone else thought it was rad...I think I could have done without.


Ground Zero



Between the plane ride, empire state building, subways, crazy taxi rides, brooklyn bridge and the tour boat I was not feeling too hot. I was so dizzy the whole trip, even after I got home. I was trying to go pee in the hotel and I almost fell off the toilet because I was so stinkin dizzy!


Ellis Island-This place was pretty cool to me. They had a museum inside with pictures and stories of people who came here. It was amazing to me to see so many pictures and names of real people that left everything behind to come to America. They also had a section where you could look up ancestors...that was pretty cool. We didn't have enough info to really find anyone we knew was related to us but it was still fun to look.


Brooklyn Bridge...this place was rad and all but I coulnd't get passed my queasy-ness long enough to really enjoy it. Matt thought it was funny and kept telling me to look up and everytime I did my knees would buckle and I felt like I was falling. I got queasy just looking at the pictures trying to decide which ones to post!







Here we are trying to find our way on the subway


um this might just be the scariest place on earth. Granted I was the only one who was scared but still...there are some WEIRD people down there! I thought we were going to get beat up by this guy sitting across from us. His "girl" was rather large with not too much covering her and a HUGE tatoo on her arm that said "love me forever big pimp". They were making out and whispering to each other the whole ride. Matt likes to stare at weird people as do I but I make sure to look away or not stare for too long...Matt hasn't mastered the art of people watching quite yet so Big Pimp kept looking over at us!


Grand Central Station


Last week at yankees Stadium! Matt loved getting to see the game...I loved getting to people watch. We saw some crazy fans. Had some expensive nachos and hotdogs. Saw the girl in front of us get beat up by her ex...they both talked like they were from the bronx...trust me it makes the story that much more intense. We saw some other drunken fights. We DIDN'T see Jeter break the record of hits hit in Yankee stadium...he struck out all three times. Overall it was a fun trip!








We LOVE New York...can't wait to go back when we're rich and famous!
