New York City 1 - Andi

April 21, 2017

Yesterday we packed up camp and drove to New York City. Daddy, Nick, and I went to go check out the metro lines and get a pass for the Metro. But we didn't get one. Then we had dinner. After that we watched "Sing". Then we went to bed.

Brooklyn Bridge

Yesterday we took the ferry over to the World Trade Center. We bought our PATH and Metro passes there. We also picked up our city passes. Then we walked around Greenwich Village. We did a couple of geocaches. After that we walked over the Brooklyn Bridge. Then we bought bread from the bakery. After that, we went to the Museum of Moving Images. We went to the kids’ area and the rest I didn't find very interesting. Then we went home and had dinner.

View from the Stage at Radio City Music Hall

Today we went to Radio City Music Hall. We

got a tour of it. We got to see the stage. We saw back stage and we saw the part under the stage. We saw the girls lounge room. Then we saw a film about the Rockettes and we talked to one.

Roller Coaster at Coney Island

After the tour was done we did the SoHo tour. It was about SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown. We tried a couple samples. My favorite sample was fried dumplings. Then we went to Coney Island. Mom and Dad surprised us that we were going to an amusement park. We went on a couple of rides and then got hot dogs from Nathan's. After that, we walked on the boardwalk. Then we got on the metro to go to midtown. I think the city is cool. There are a lot of green taxis that I think are unusual. I don't think it is cool that mom is making me write extra in my journal. I also got to try Gelato. It was just like any other ice cream. I really like that if you stand far away from the buildings that it looks like they're all jammed together but they are really not, they actually have four lanes of traffic in between them. There are a lot of people in New York. There are very few private cars driving around. I like how the sidewalks change from different materials. Back to the journal. We saw the Rockefeller Center. We went to the top of it also known as "The Top of the Rock." After that we went to the Lego store and looked around. Then we went home and had ramen.

Performers on the sidewalk as the Ride drove by

Yesterday we went to Krispy Kreme and got doughnuts. Then we got tickets for "The Ride." After that we went to the Eldridge museum. We saw the really old church and the museum. Then we rented bikes and rode them in Central Park. After that, we went on "The Ride." It was really fun and funny. It was kind of like a movie theater about New York. It had dancing, singing, and fun. After that we went to the Empire State building. We went to the 86th floor and looked down at the city. We could see where Times Square was easily. Then we went home and went to bed. One other note about Times Square, it looks like a new channel of day.
