Peyton’s First amazing Trip To New York

Peyton’s First amazing Trip To New York

By:  Peyton B

Over the summer I went to New York for the very first time it was amazing!   We each had to pack our own bag.  We drove at night to the airport and flew on the plane for about 5 hours to Newark, New Jersey.

We took a bus to our hotel which was in Times Square it was called Crowne Plaza.  We got to our hotel room we took a nap because we were so tired from the plane ride. We arrived at about 6am in New York and 3am California time.

On our first morning it was August 2nd it was also my sister Kennedy’s 10th birthday.  We went to the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Broadway Play.  The music and the performers were awesome.

After the play we went to a three story Olive Garden!  The food was delicious!  The servers gave Kennedy a dessert and they sang Happy Birthday to her.  We walked around Times Square.  While we were walking around we stopped at H&M, the Disney Store and a few gift shops.

 

The second morning we went on a double decker bus to see the Empire State Building.

We were able to go inside and we went to the observation deck which was on the 86th floor.  The view was outstanding!

After that we took the subway to Central Park to ride a horse drawn carriage.  It was so much fun!  Kennedy and I fed the horse carrots and it slobbered all over our hands.

That night we took another double decker bus and we took a night tour of the city.  There were lots of lights and it was so pretty.  

After the tour we went to a restaurant called Junior’s.   My family and I had a great dinner.   Kennedy, my mom, and my dad had a raspberry swirl cheesecake.

They said it was DELICIOUS!

 

Then we went back to Times Square.  We took some pictures and went to the M&M Store and the Hershey’s Store.  

The third morning we rode a taxi to a ferry.  On the ferry they gave us a tour  about all the buildings.

 Then after a few minutes we saw the Statue of Liberty.  We went all the way around it!  

It was magnificent!

On the first stop of the ferry we got off and we took a taxi to Georgetown Cupcakes!  Have you ever seen DC Cupcakes on TV?  Georgetown Cupcakes was their second location.

 We went inside and Kennedy, my mom, and my dad each had a cupcake.   Kennedy got a pink lemonade one, my mom got a coffee one,  and my dad got a chocolate one.

 We went back on the ferry and finished the rest of the tour.  When the tour was over we got off and took a taxi back to the hotel we packed our bags and we took a bus back to the Newark, New Jersey airport.

We flew back on the plane for another 5 hour flight.  We got back to the Sacramento airport at about 1:00 in the morning.  I was so tired.  

I had so much fun on my trip.  I hope you enjoyed my blog.
