New York and New Jersey

Hahahaha ok I am laughing at myself because I officially SUCK at blogging! It is now October and I have been home for a bout a month, but have I finished blogging about my awesome trip? NO. We are now at the New York and New Jersey part of my trip so we're getting close ;) So technically, we didn't really do anything in New Jersey, we just drove through the ghetto trying to find our hotel.. We just slept in New Jersey and did all the fun stuff in New York. First thing we did was go to the Broadway show of Wicked! Oh My Gosh people!! It was amazing and I absolutely loved it!!! 

Where our taxi/bus dropped us off! Fashion Avenue :)

Times Square was totally amazing!

On our way to Wicked! Broadway is probably one of the most famous streets EVER

Getting excited!!! :D

The back-drop was totally amazing!!! Way cool guys. If you ever go to New York, you totally have to go see this show!
Best thing ever :)

Ya.. I have no clue who that chick is, but we were gonna be there forever waiting for people to move

As soon as it started getting dark-ish, BOOM there were butt-loads of people everywhere.

I think saw more people dressed up in costumes here than I did in Disney World lol. I also saw a lot of  people with "I need Money For Weed! Why lie?" signs... ya.. haha I wasn't scared at all in Times Square unlike New Orleans..

Me and my mom made this our joke.. You can't be HALF a gangster :)

Next day Tayler was sick so Hope and I went out on our own :) (The day after that though we just did the same thing so that Tayler and mom could see everything too :))

That is a battleship... that I forgot the name of.. INTREPID! haha there we go :)

Heck yes!

DOUBLE DECKER BUS! I think I'm in love with New York :)

I will enjoy the ride, thanks! :) It was awesome :)

Tug Boat party! 

That is the WTC number 1 a.k.a. The tallest building in New York. (The building that's not finished on the right just so your not confused :) )

9-11 Memorial Ponds

So sad :(

9-11 Motorcylce made by Junior from American Choppers, my dad thought this was pretty cool! " I watched him build that bike!!" haha :)

Three Bridges! Brooklyn Bridge.. annnddd two others.. lol the guy talked about these quite a bit but I can't remember!  This is what I get for waiting 500 million years to blog.

Lady Liberty :)

Me with tiny Lady Liberty in the background! Too get a picture with her up close, you had to go out in the wind and rain on the boat and I just didn't want to..

Police men on horses!!! :) Still think this is kinda funny, but I guess it's easier to maneuver through traffic :)

Up Next: Boston and Salem Massachusetts.

Gettysburg, Hershey and Liberty Bell

I now realize that it is gonna take me forever to get caught up! Especially now that school has started :( I will try my best though :) Ok, so since I am of course still playing catch-up, I am combining Gettysburg with Hershey Pennsylvania and the Liberty Bell. Gettysburg was a pretty neat experience, we went on a driving tour, we had a CD that explained everything for us. There were memorials/statues and huge headstones ALL over the place. 

North Carolina Memorial :)

After Gettysburg we went to Hershey Pennsylvania, which I found out doesn't really exist? Weird.. I know and I don't exactly know how to explain it, so I would suggest to you if your curious to Google it :) That's what I always do; me and Google are like BFF's now. Moving on though, I was super duper excited for Hershey! What person in their right mind doesn't love chocolate right? ;)

Welcome to Heryshey! It's kinda funny cause me and Hope were talking about the "castle-like building" up on the hill
 and it turns out to be the town's middle school.. i was like WHAAA?!! I wish I could go to school in a cool looking building.... :)

Yup, Chocolate World.. be jelous ;) 

We went on a tour of Hershey, and we had a hilarious tour guide: Fred. He told us that Hershey is the sweetest place on Earth, even the air smells sweet, and is therefore the only place where you can breathe and get fat.

Milton Hershey's Birthplace!

Hershey Cocoa bushes! They also have chocolate geese in Hershey :) ok no they don't, but you know those geese that
have dark brown heads and necks, light brown backs, and white bellies? Well Fred told us that they were chocolate geese because they have Dark Chocolate Heads, Milk Chocolate Backs, and White Chocolate bellies :)

Hershey Kiss Lamp Posts!!! 

So I pretty much think that I would have the coolest address on the face of the planet if I lived on Chocolate Avenue.. 

One of the few places where this isn't creepy ;)

After eating lot's of chocolate and having fun in Hershey we quickly drove over to the Liberty Bell so that we could see it before it closed that day because it would be closed all weekend.. and that wouldn't work for us.

I only know about Pass and Stow cause of National Treasure... The whole time we were in D.C. I kept picturing
scenes from the movies :)

Next up: New York and New Jersey! 

Oh and guess what?? I counted all the states we're going to be going through and by the end of this trip I will have gone to 32 states! Before this trip I had only been to 6 states and Canada. Pretty awesome :)
