My friend Ashley invited me to go to New York with her a week and a half before she was going for business. I decided I couldn't miss a chance to stay at the Ritz Carlton for free so I went. We were only there for three days, but we packed as much in as we could. We went and saw Mary Poppins and it was so GooD!! We went to Ground Zero, saw the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, Central Park, 5th Avenue, Times Square, SoHo, Little Italy, China Town, and more. I think we walked at least 10 miles a day! New York was such an amazing place to go. I want to go back. We were fascinated by the big city and the people that live there. We got asked 4 times for directions so we thought we were pretty cool. The funny thing was that we could actually help them. We had fun trying to figure out the subway and being scared to death in the taxis. We had such a great time.

Central Park was beautiful

Times Sqaure at 11:00 at night! It's crazy how many people are there on a Thursday night.

It was such a fun trip! Thanks Ashley! You are the best! You got yourself a new traveling partner. San Fransisco next, right?
