New York, Park 3, also Danielle's birthday.
Saturday:
Our third day in NY was probably my favorite. It started out with a trip to the Empire State building. On the way there I rode the subway for my first time, and it was not the most pleasant thing to do. There was a really gross hobo there, and that's all I'm going to say. (My favorite thing about the sub way though was the guy who stayed on the 6 train all the time and came around singing and stuff, that was cool. He was a good singer.) Well, the Empire State building was cool, although it was a little bit windy at the top, but the view was soooo cool!!! From one side you could see Staten Island (Statue of Liberty) and from the other Central Park. I bought a little crystaly thingy and some postcards for people in the store. It was pretty neat.
When we got done, Macy's was about a block away so we shopped there for a while. That was cool, I'd never been in one really, and I was sorta expecting it to be like a Ross (price wise) but it wasn't. It was huge and had lots of cool clothes. I just didn't buy anything. After Macy's, Miss
had to have NY pizza so we went and got some. But then she started complaining that it wasn't the huge, deep dish pizzas she thought it was. We tried to tell her she was getting confused with Chicago style pizza, but she wouldn't believe us! Gah. Anyways, then we went shopping all over Times Square. I got really cool I *heart* NY pajama pants and a pen and an adorable picture frame, in which I put a pic of all the girls who had I *heart* NY pants, lol. I got a Hard Rock Cafe NY shirt (I love it, it's awesome), Ummm, oh ya!!! We saw an authentic New York protest, lol. That was kinda neat. Erm, we went to a awesome Hershey's store and bought a bucket of chocolate (literally), but I never got to eat any of it. *pouts* Then we walked to Rockefeller Center and watched people ice skate, stopped at the St. Patrick's Cathedral (you kinda get to wondering why we didn't march past the church, wouldn't it kind of make sense??) and then headed back to the hotel. Once we got there, people were deviding into groups for what they wanted to do.
I went with a bunch of other girls next door to the Nail/Spa place. I got a mani/pedi-cure and it felt so good! It was a lot of fun. My pedicure stayed on, but my manicure chipped off. Oh well. Mariah "lost" her money, so we looked for it for a long time, turns it
was in her wallet the whole time. After that, we ordered Chinese food, gosh that was stressful. First we argued about what we were going to get, then we argued about who was going to pay, yadayadayada. It sucked. But when we got it, we took it to Trevor's room and hung out there for a while, it was a lot of fun. But we didn't have any untensils to eat with so we ate Lo Mein with our hands, haha. Then the other guys came back, and I was like, uhhh, let's leave before we agravate them. So we kinda booked it outta there, and I forgot to clean up the pop cans, sorry bout that.
Well, that was Saturday. When we got back to my room, we played a few card games in the bathroom as tradition says we must do, but those bathrooms are a little too small... Hayley and Caitlin and Danielle came back from Danielle's b-day dinner, they had gotten the Spamalot CD so we listened to that and then went to sleep (after making a few prank calls, lol).
