Life in the Fast Lane - My trip to NY city

Jul. 2, 2008 - My trip to NY city

Hello, hello! We had a really nice vacation. I had so much fun.
On Friday, we went to the last day of VBS. The night went well and the boys had allot of fun. Dad left right away and Josiah, mom and i ordered pizza and rented The Godfather (which by the way is up on my top 10 fav list. its a little boring in some parts but other wise very interesting and enjoyable). We ended up going to bed around 1 o'clock. we got up at 6:30, packed, and drove to the city. Josiah did all the driving the whole weekend and had allot of fun while doing so. We ate junk food and drank soda and listen to music the whole 3 hours there.
When we reached my Uncle's (he just got a new apartment and invited us to stay with him). We walked in, dumped our stuff in tiny, tiny apartment (which was pretty cute all in all) and drove to the beach! We hung out there for a couple of hours and had SO much fun. Around 2:30 we packed everything up and went to the van, just to find out that the keys were looked inside! Josiah had left them in his shorts pocket which was put into the van! So my uncle went and asked some guy to take him to his apartment so he could get moms spare keys. So all in all we were only delayed about 30 minutes. So we went back to the apartment, took showers, and got ready to go out. We went to Park Slope to meet up with my uncle Joe (the one who was married in DC) and Mrs. Christy. We were going to have dinner with them at a nice little pizza place called Mrs. Susan’s. It rained torrentially for an hour and we sat in the restaurant and waited 2 hours til my uncle came (they got stuck in the subway for a while). We enjoyed a nice meal (that lasted about 4 hours) then we went back to my uncle’s apartment set up some beds and slept soundly.
The next day, Sunday, we got up, packed the car, and went to the diner for Breakfast. We then took the Long Island Ferry to Manhattan. We then stood online for the Ellis Island Ferry, and after 1 1/2 hours of standing on line and going through security, we made it onto the boat. about an hour later we got to the Island (the ferry made a stop at Liberty Island and all those interested could get off and all those who were finished could get back on to the ferry to go to the island). We walked around the museum for a while. I really wasn’t impressed with it, too much space not allot of stuff. When we were getting ready to leave we went out to the ferry and stood on line. We were almost on the ferry when it started to POUR!!! The ferry was full, so we had to go wait inside for the next one. Needless to say, we made it back to Manhattan. We walked around for a while, saw the first park in NY, feed pigeons off Josiah's shoes, and walked around the cool sellers. I bought Josiah an airbrushed tattoo and myself a cool picture of the NY sky line with the Twin Towers Memorial Lights. We then got back onto the ferry and made it home in good time.
That NIGHT, we went out to Wal-Mart and bought my dad his Birthday/ Christmas/ Anniversary/ any other holiday gift. A 37 in LCD flat screen TV with appropriate surround sound, sound system! It’s awesome!

I think that’s it of my weekend. So here are plenty of pics for you all to enjoy:

Josiah and me swimming! We had so much fun

This is Sylvia. She is a sand person. I like her. She is my Friend.

My now all time favorite picture of me and Josiah! You can see the gorgeous ring he gave me on my finger. It has 3 larger dimonds in the middle and 3 tiny dimonds on either side . It is white gold. He call it my Friendship ring.
