My trip to NYC was super great!!! Brookley and I went with our two friends Kim and Kayelyn on a Toney Tour. We left on Thursday morning at 5:00am from the Walmart parking lot. We stopped twice to pick up other people. We arrived in New Jersey where we stayed at 9:45pm. It was a very long drive, but it was not bad. The hotel was so nice and the breakfast was great.
On Friday, we left out after a delicious breakfast to go to the city. We visited the Empire State Building and it was so windy and cold that you could not stay out there long. We had to travel up 86 floors to get to the top. When we came down, we found out that Celine Dion was up there with us. We whet out as she did and she was so sweet. Brookley started crying because Celine is her favorite and she couldn’t believe she was there with her. Celine rolled down her window and waved at us then she rolled down her window again and winked at Brookley. I like her even more now.
After we left there, we went to the Tavern on the Green for lunch. We had chicken and salad. It was very good. When we were leaving, the other teen we were with bumped into Jerry Seinfeld. She wasn’t even sure who it was, but Brookley recognize him. It was so funny. Of course, they didn’t have a camera with them, so we have a picture of his car, but not of him.
Another funny thing that happened, we rode the Staten Island Ferry out to see the Statue of Liberty. There were about 30 drunken Santa’s on the ferry. They were loud but funny. That is the first time I have every seen a drunk Santa! LOL. While we were watching the drunken Santa’s, the tour bus left us! We looked everywhere for it, but it was nowhere in sight. When we spotted it, we had to run around an entire city block to catch up with it, because the buses can only stop in designated areas. We were laughing the whole way and Brookley was videoing it.
We went to two musicals. One was the Rockettes and the other was WICKED. Both were absolutely great! I will be ready for another trip next year! We had a great time!
We stayed one night in Maryland. The place was not as nice as the Fairfield, but it made the drive seen shorter.
On the way home, we stopped in Washington at the Smithsonian where parts of “The Night at the Museum” were filmed. It was fun seeing all of the airplanes.
We came home on Sunday. We arrived back to Walmart around 9:30pm. We were tired but happy!
