Manhattan, New York

TIMES SQUARE

In New York, we got to our hotel and checked in. Then we went to go eat dinner at Grand Central Station. I got pizza and so did my brother. We walked back to our hotel and on the way we stopped and got cupcakes from Baked by Melissa They were so small! They were really good! I got triple chocolate fudge, so did my brother. My mom got red velvet.

The next day, we walked to Times Square. Then we walked to breakfast. It was called Junior's. We saw lots of horses that the New York Police Department (NYPD) uses in the city.

HORSES AND THE NYPD

Next, we took the subway to the place where we were going on a boat tour. We met a family that was going on the same boat. They were British! We hung out with them the rest of the day. On the boat we saw the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, and the Williamsburg Bridge. Then we saw the Statue of Liberty that is made of copper.

STATUE OF LIBERTY

After we got off the boat, we decided to go to the World Trade Center Memorial. On our way there, we saw some street performers. One of the guys pulled my brother out of the crowd. He told him to stand in one spot and then he jumped straight over his head! It was so cool!

STREET PERFORMERS

We went to the World Trade Center Memorial and looked at the fountains. It had names written on the railing. There was one tree there that survived the World Trade tragedy! It was super cool! The new Freedom Tower is being built in the place close to where the twin towers used to be.

FREEDOM TOWER

We went on the subway back to Times Square and went to the M & M World! It was three stories high! It was super fun! We looked around and got some M & M's (pretzels and minis).
