New York

On Monday we went to New York without the smelly car with the ugly toenails and man BO in the backseat. Instead we drove in Ron's car. Then we drove to the pirate guy.

Then we went to New Jersey. We saw steel dinosaurs and we went to a pizza place where Aunt Kelly lost her phone.

Then we went to New York. We boarded the Staten Island Ferry which was named John F Kennedy. It took us to the city.




this is a close up picture of the statue of liberty from the ferry.

After we got off the ferry we went to the Fraunces Tavern which had George Washington's wooden tooth.


Then we got on the subway. I love the subway. Then Uncle Ron got lost three times going to the same place. He should have listed to Aunt Kelly who had it right the first time.


About to board the subway.


I was having fun on the subway. I was delirious and was laughing uncontrollably about random stuff .


Then we went to China Town where Uncle Ron got us lost. Then we went to Shabu-Shabu. They bring you meat and you cook it yourself in boiling water. I ordered a strawberry slush that had tapioca balls in it. It was good.



We were going to eat pizza in Little Italy but we couldn't decide on where to go. There were a bunch of pizza places and people there.

Little Italy

After dinner we got back on the subway.
I was crawling on the subway floor I think? I really don't remember what happened.


Then we walked around the city. We saw the Trump Building where they film The Apprentice.


Then we saw Tiffany & Co. My mom would have died to be in that picture.


We saw a movie being filmed! I've never seen that before. It was really cool.


On our way to Central Park we stopped in front of The Natural History Museum.


Then we went to Central Park. There were lots of racers on bikes and running. There was a man listening to the radio in a bush. I thought it was really pretty there.


Then we took the subway to Times Square. I ate McDonald's there.

Times Square :)


Then we went to Toys R Us. They had a giant Ferris Wheel with a Barbie convertible car and I couldn't go on it because it was already closed. They had 3 floors of toys, a Candy Land, and a big Barbie Dreamhouse. Oh my gosh! It's not fair.


Then we went to the M&M Store. It had 3 floors of different kinds of M&Ms.



Each floor had a different color M&M. The 1st floor was blue, the 2nd floor was green and the 3rd floor was red.



Then we got my I <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvzVM9KgVx5Nt5Obb3-EDOZ1Ks8d1PHC-8IjytyJkx7K8ZOL_X9jdckI9fJcY4CpdRHy9Wiw_EEr3S8JawHtWoDa2MbsOZgumdhxP83QdOcbixAtIOjrbjqctjZwQ25ADmSpWu64Fo3r8Q/s1600-h/103_3174.JPG">
After I got my I ♥ NY tee-shirt.... i love it



Then we found the subway and took it to the Ferry and went home.

BEST PICTURE EVER !!!! The subway stopped suddenly and he was trying to take a picture of Aunt Kelly but Janette got a picture of him that looks like he is going to throw up. :)


This is me and Aunt Kelly in front of the sign for the Ferry.



Leaving on the ferry.


My favorite part of the day was the subway because it was fun. It was like a thrill ride.

I didn't like having to use the subway bathroom. It was like 2 by 4 inches and we had to go after a nasty man. There was graffiti written on the walls and there was no soap. The toilet would barely flush and you have to squat and not it. Oh God it was horrible.

I want to go back to New York because it is so pretty and I want to live there.

I'm Sorry

Dear Aunt Kelly, Uncle Ron , Mom, and Dad,
I am sorry for disrespecting you guys losing your trust and worst lying about it. I know I shouldn't have been talking on the phone to someone who doesn't care about me and is trying to get me to trust him, but he only wants one thing. I don't know really why I was talking to him for that whole week but if I could, I would take it back. I know that it takes a lot for you to trust people and it would take a lot to earn your trust back. Also Mom, I am really sorry for disrespecting you and the rules you set for me. I will do anything to earn your guys trust back. Last night and all today I was thinking about what I have done and would really want to start new and have a clean slate. I just really want to say I am sorry even if you guys don't forgive me.
Sincerely,
Rianna

Philadelphia

On Friday we woke up really early and drove to Philadelphia to see Aunt Kelly's friend, Kelly, and to pick up Janette, Uncle Ron's sister, from the airport. It took about two hours to drive there. Along the way we stopped to use the bathroom but somebody was taking forever in there. We got stuck in traffic and then we finally got into Philadelphia.

The first thing we did was see the Liberty Bell. According to tradition, its most famous ringing occurred on July 8, 1776 to summon citizens of Philadelphia for the reading of the Declaration of Independence.


This is us at liberty bell.

Then we left the exhibit and it started to rain just a little. We got in the car and drove to Aunt Kelly's friend Kelly's house. We had enchiladas for lunch. They tasted just like my Mommy's.

Then we went to the trolley to go to the zoo. The trolley was ghetto because I felt like I was going to get killed on it. We got to the zoo, which is the first zoo in America.


Look at those crazy kangaroos

The swan boats were my favorite.


This was before we got on the swan boats.


This picture is on Aunt Kelly and I riding the swan boat at the zoo. I loved it because you could control your own boat by peddling.


This is from before we left the zoo. That was a air balloon but we didn't get to ride it.

After the zoo we saw the Eastern State Penitentiary which is one of the most historic prisons in America. Over 100 prisoners escaped from there. We didn't go in the prison because it was closed.

Then we went back to Kelly's to get directions to Tony Luke's which is a cheesesteak place. It had really good cheesesteaks.

After dinner we got in the car and saw really big thunder and lightning. We went on the freeway to go see the movie "My Sister's Keeper." It was a sad movie.

After the movie we went to a diner and then went to pick up Janette from the airport.

The next day we went to Dutch Haven and a store called The Outhouse.


I became short!


This is in downtown Lancaster.


This is at five guys which is the In-N-Out of the east coast.

Beach Day!!!!!!!!!

This picture is of Ron and I at the beach. It was sunny but also really cold. I got this outrageous sun burn and it hurt really bad. You couldn't really tell until about an hour after we left the beach.





Doesn't the water look really fun? It was, but when you first get in instead of sand there were rocks. They hurt really bad but once you got deeper in the water the rocks disappeared.



After we left the beach, we took a walk on the boardwalk where there is a little amusement park. They had fun rides one of them being the carousel.





This ride my aunt dragged me on was scary. It was scary because I'm scared of heights! I was the only one screaming!



It would turn you upside down while spinningin the air! it was the scariest ride I have ever been on!!!







We also went on the sea dragon and yet again i was scared. It felt like my stomach fell out of my butt. But aunt Kelly was just chill in.





Rehoboth beach sign.



After a long day of hot sun
Aunt Kelly got really tan and I became not white, not tan, but red!!!

Trapped in Wildlife

We went camping for 4th of July weekend. First when we got there, we set up camp. Then we started a fire. Well, we couldn't start it because the wood was wet. Then we attempted to roast marshmallows for about 15 minutes. Then it was time for bed.

This was my tent.




Who took a picture of me getting out of my tent?


On 4th of July we went to The Hopewell Furnace. It was fun.


Me inside a furnace. Oooh.





Sunset on the 4th of July.


Later we went to Pottstown to watch fireworks. They were really pretty. Bats were flying over our heads! That was scary.



The next day we went to Valley Forge. We took a hike with a crazy nature lady.


There she is.


The monument I sat on.


Then there was this bus driver that was harassing me about smiling. He turned the whole bus against me. There were two ladies in front of me that were going along with his little plot to make me smile. He said there were cute boys at the campground.


The last day we went to the Daniel Boone Homestead but it was closed because it was Monday and they are closed on Mondays. We got to go in the park though and we had a picnic and saw a waterfall.

I liked camping. It was a good weekend.

NOT SO GOOD

Well yesterday, I was going to go Bowling with my friend, Lauren. But the bowling ally didn't open until noon, and it was ten thirty. My friend did' t even show up until eleven something. So I started texting. I shouldn't of been texting because I had to take a break for texting California and was only allowed to text people here in Pennsylvania. When I came home I got in so much trouble but they were proud of me for telling the truth. After that I still had to go to Power House. When I came home I had to go to the emergency room because of a rash on my fingers. It turns out the my rash came from stress and I just thought that was the funniest thing.

Around Town

On Monday we had no milk so we went to an Amish Restaurant called Katie's Kitchen. Uncle Ron and Aunt Kelly didn't tell me it was run by Amish and when I opened the door there was a little Amish girl who sat us. It freaked me out! I had a chicken tender and fries. It was good.

Ron and Kelly forced me to take a picture in front of Katie's Kitchen.




Then we went to Bird in Hand Bakery where we swung on swings and Ron and Kelly fed goats. I didn't feed them because I was scared. The sign said "Caution: May bite!" At the bakery we bought a whoopie pie for me and two apple dumplings.


Later we went to The National Toy Train Museum. I thought it was interesting because I got to play with the trains. I also mimicked Auntie Kelly's father because it made me think of him and all of his stories about when he was young. We all thought he would love that museum.


Here is uncle Ron trying to make me watch another boring video.


Here we were waiting for a buggy ride. This was at The Red Caboose Motel. It's really cool because you can sleep in cabooses and you can eat in a train car that is a restaurant. There was an old man statue in the lobby that I thought was real. It was freaky!


At the end of the trip we took a buggy ride. Here I am waiting for it to start.


Here is Auntie Kelly and I on a wagon. NOT a buggy.


See?

The buggy ride was bumpy but I liked it. It was the best part of the day. During the ride we learned more about the Amish and we met an Amish girl who was selling lemonade. Our driver was even born and raised Amish but he never joined the church.

Uncle Ron loves these dumb things.


After dinner we went to the Strasburg Creamery across the street. I had peanut butter ice cream. It was the best.
