NYC!!!

So a couple weeks ago on November 19, me, my mom, and Aunt Kim went to NYC on the bus trip. On the bus, my mom won bingo twice, but of course other people won too so the money had to be split. 
We really didn't have anything planned to do when we got there, so everything was just what we decided we wanted to do. When we got there, we went to Macys. It's always so crowded and hot in there, but still cool to look around in. We went to the Holiday Lane part where they have everything you could want for Christmas. The whole store had decorations in it as well. When we left there, there was Christmas scenes in the window of some store that were soooo realistic and cool and they all moved. Next, we wanted to go on 5th Avenue to go in all the rich and expensive stores. 
On our way there, we stopped in The New York Public Library. It wasn't anything special. But right across the street there was another library that I think had the same name, and this one was amazing. The inside of it was so gorgeous and had so much detail in everything from the walls to the ceilings. We continued to walk and wound up at the Rockefeller ice rink. There were so many people on it, I loved when they fell down LOL. We saw the big tree, but people were still up there working on it. Next, we went in Saks Fifth Avenue. It was so cool, it had so many things for thousands of dollars. Then we went in Gucci, which too had stuff for so much money. We went in the underground Apple store and it was soooooooo crowded. Everywhere you looked there was a million people. But it was still cool to use the elevator thing. We went in FAO Schwartz again because last time there was a birthday party on the big piano so we couldn't use it. But this time, I went on it. It was just me and a bunch of little kids and it was so awkward LOL..but now I can stay I've had my feet on the same surface as Kim and Kourtney Kardashian!!!! After we were down with Uptown, we took the subway to downtown. It was a little easier using the subway this time then it was using it last time.. We ended up somewhere and had to walk forever to get to Dash. We didn't really know where we were going and we had to just keep asking people how to get there. My mom would always say "Do you know were Dash is?" LOL. No one even did. None of the streets we were on were on our little map LOL so we had a hard time. But once everything looked familiar I knew we were on the right street. We went in Dash and I got 3 pencils, with each of their names on it. 
Now it was getting dark out and we were hungry, and we wanted to eat in Little Italy, so we got to a corner and saw a sign on a restaurant that said it has been inducted as a member of The Pizza Hall of Fame and was the 1st pizzeria in the U.S., so we ate there. It was called Lombardi's and the pizza and everything there was SOOOO good!!!! I loved it and it had the feel an old NYC pizzeria. I can't wait to go back. After we were done, we took the subway back to uptown. We walked around forever and couldn't find Times Square LOL, but after a while we did. We looked around in a few stores and then headed to where we needed to be to get on the bus. 
Overall it was such a fun day doing different stuff we had never done before, and it was nice for a change not to have anything on a list we wanted to do. I love NYC sooooo much, and can't wait to go back :) love you mom and Aunt Kim
