Ok Wow! NYC and Darien Lake this year were so much fun!!!

So We left for NYC on Monday and we had to be up at 5AM! and outta the house by 5:30! So our train ended up running late and we never got on until about 7:45. Then we had to sit there for about 8 hours and it got boring after 2 so we went into the dining car to play cards and ended up having to sit with these to guys. One of them was some old italian guy and the other was 21 and his name was Austin. It was amusing sitting there talking to them for a while Then we ended up going back to our seats and sitting there until we finally made it to NYC. Well my cousins Amy and Brian had made dinner reservations for us at 5:30...we never got to our hotel until 5! So we got ready in about 20 minutes! Hair make-up and nice clothes...Me and Summer were impressed! Haha! So we went out to Asia De Cuba. It insanly yummy! Haha! We had about 7 courses of food and i full by like...the 3rd! LoL! I tried Sushi too for the first time!!! I must say....its not bad! LoL! We ended up having 2 desserts becasue Brian was friends with the manager and she sent it over for free. Carly is ADORABLE! Shes only 4 months old!!! She was so good in the resturant too! Your not really suppose to bring babies in there but she didn't even cry or anything! I couldn't believe it! So then they took us back to the hotel. We said goobye and everything and me and Summer ran up to our room to get changed. So by then it was 9:30 10ish? so we walked up to Time Square which was 15 blocks or so away. Long ass walk! LoL! So we just went in and out of random stores. Walked somemore and headed back to the hotel but got tired and took a cab. LoL! So we fell asleep around 1:30 but couldn't sleep and ended up waking up at 3:30 again.

So Tuesday we hit just about every tourist attraction there was! We went to teh Statue of Liberty,Empire State building, Central PArk, Hard Rock Cafe. Of course Time Square. We stood outside the Mtv studios while they shot TRL. Reliant K was on! So we stood there for an hour then went to lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe. It was pretty cool in there. So then we...did something..oh shopped! Haha! So Summers parents we're craving some beer lol so me and her went back to the hotel and watched Hide and Seek and turned out all the lights and her parents went to a bar down the street. So they came home around midnight and brought a pizza back. I didn't exactly care for the pizza. So we went to bed around midnight and had to be up early the next morning to pack.

So we were outta our hotel by 11 and sitting in the train station waiting to get on our train. So we got on our train at 1:45 and once again sat there for 8 MORE HOURS! So her parents decided haf way through we were gonna stop at antionos to get soemthing to eat. So we were in the bathrooms on the train getting ready! LoL! Now that was funny! So we got back in Buffalo around 9:30. So we went to eat and went home to sleeeeep lol!

So my dad came and got me. He ended having a new truck. He traded his old one in for a new 2005 Explorer. So I went home and got ready to go spend the night at Darein Lake. So we left around 2 and went to the trailer and kinda just chilled there for a while then went to the bar and me and my sister and her friend walked around for a while. Then we went back and went to eat. So thenme my sister and Steim went and did a few rides and walked around. Then went back to the trailer to say bye to my parents and then we went to Superman. So these retarted little kids ended up being in front of us and I was about to kill noe of them so we finally got in the separate lines. So I ended up talking to these kids in front of me from...Canada LoL!....random I know! Well they all ended up being pretty cool. LoL. So my sister and her friend ended up going to get tattoos and I had been on a total of 2 rides so the guys I was talking to ended up behind us so I turned around and asked if any of them wanted to go back on with me and they all said sure. So my sister and Steim went and got there tattoo and I went back on superman with these guys and found out they were all 15 and from Ontario. So I ended up going on with this kid named Andy. He was cool. So I left them and went to find my sister and she said to meet her up at the laser light show...never happend! o I started walking back to my trailer and I ended running into andy and all them. So I stood there with them. They we SO funny! So they walked with me to my trailer and asked if they could come back and I said why the hell not. So they came back about 20 minutes later and we all just hung out there. We were gona go for a walk but security was everywhere. So we went and sat back at the trailer for a while and security dissappeard for a while so Andy asked me if I wanted to go for a walk and I said why the hell not. So me and him went missing in action for about an hour. We kinda just walked all over the campgrounds. Then Security stopped us and said we needed to be 18 or with an adult to be out at night. So we started to walk back to my trailer and ended up stopping and sitting by a tree cuz it started raining. So we just sat there talking for a while then got up and went back to the trailer and susan and steim ended up going in so it was just me Andy his little brother and there moms boyfriends daughter. LoL! So then I was dead tired and went to bed and got up the next morning and went home.
