Hi guys! We haven't written in a while but my family and I went to N.Y.C. Thursday and it was very fun. Some parts weren't as fun. We still had a good time though. On the road we saw a fire! It was in New Jersey and it was a truck that carries cars and it was totally in flames. We could feel the heat in the car! We were very lucky that none of us were hurt. We took a ferry across from New Jersey to New York.  But, back to telling you about New York. We walked around in Times Square. It was filled and filled and FILLED with people. It was so cool to see all the lights. It was smelly though. Did I mention it was very crowded? Then we went to Central Park. We had a small snack and then played on a playground. Did you know that Central Park has 21 playgrounds?! After that we went to Strawberry Fields, dedicated to John Lennon. It was really nice. We had brought flowers and then we couldn't find them. We found them a little later. Walking back to the ferry, we went into Hershey's Chocolate and it was filled with super yummy CANDY!!!!! After that we headed in to Macy's. Biggest store I have ever seen! We went to Europa for lunch. Gray and I split a pizza. It was really good. I was dragging towards the end. I almost forgot.
