Oh byy gollly!! Has it been a full 2 days or what?? We will start with yesterday.

Friday July 22nd, 2010.
We slept in late to get some rest, so we were off to a late start and ended late as well. Once we woke up and got going it was about 2. and we didn't get to the city until about 4. It was a very relaxed and nice day. It was also Lydia and Aunt Tracy Reid's first time in the city so that was pretty exciting! We walked to Times Square went to Starbucks and hung out there and it was great! After we finally decided on what show to see and we went with West Side Story. (note: discounted tickets for $62, for front mezzanine row H, origanially $121 tickets! pretty sweet!!) the show was really really incredibly awesome! I loved it! and I cried! awwee! Then we came out to the AWESOME lit up busy busy Times Square!! such a sight to see that was! Then Lydia and I went to American Eagle and got our picture taken TWICE and we were up on a huge billboard in Times Square! that was awesome! we then went down to Nizza a super good pizza place, and then rushed to the train and got on the last one! at about 1:02. and back to the home about 2:30. 3:00 to bed. it was a great day thats for sure!!

Saturday July 23rd, 2010.
Now, this was today and a bit more fresh! We started out with breakfast in NJ which turned out pretty decent, we then headed off to where the workshop would be! aahh exciting!... WAIT! NO! We had breakfast in NJ on Friday. we had breakfast today in the city! right by where we had the workshop! we got there early and went in. The most I can tell now. is that it was 5 hours of informative and awesome information and consisted of a verrrryyyy tired Sarah! But there were 2 guests and it was just soo great! We then went and had a cupcake! and that was delicious! and headed off to Little Italy and ate at Angelo's which is possibly one of the most incredible restaurants I have ever eaten at! We then were quite rushed again to catch the 9:07 train. Which I wont even bother to tell you the troubles! ohh and coming in made friends with the train conductor Dave! He took a picture with Madeline! reallly nice man! and coming home a homeless man asked for money and we said no sorry, and he started to fake cry, and my mother said sorry we're broke, no money. and he stopped and said ohh ohh yeaa thank you I appreciate that, I appreciate that. and we finally got to walk away.. aahhaha. ohh sadd. We have all been on lack of sleep and very tired so laughing very hard and loud has definitely been going on! love it! and now it is times for me to get ready to get in bed and be prepared for the BIG day tomorrow! we do scene work at class! Super exciting!!! We'll see how it goes! Definitely Dreamin BIG! :)

NYC- Day 1

Today we woke up at 4:00 and left the house 4:28. We boarded our plane at about 6:35 and took off about 6:44. We arrived in the Big Apple at 7:44 a.m. and off to our adventures. We had some trouble at first but then got into the city. Went by bus to Grand Central Station, and we were guided to the bus which would then take us to Penn station by a very flirtatious man. Finally, after arriving at Penn Station, we began our travels through the beautiful city. We walked and walked, up to where we stored our luggage for the day, we continued on and once we reached Times Square we started our search for Carnegie Deli, and asked many policemen who didn't even know. Once we found it I scarfed a grilled chicken sandwich and half of my mothers sandwich, along with an incredible taste bud tingling chicken noodle soup! From waking up at 4:00 a. m. it has caused us to be very tired so we walked to Central Park where we are station now. Mom fell asleep a little bit ago, people are doing yoga, a man is playing a violin type instrument, picnics are happening, bike riders, aggressive and not so aggressive runners are running. The sun is shining beautifully and you couldn't ask for it to be better..except maybe a cushion for my bottom. It is now 1:45 p.m. and I am unaware of our later activities, except for when we reach destination NJ home until the 27th. We are staying with a close friend Joe's Aunt and her son. They are very nice and it should be very exciting! This place is exhilarating and at times indescribable. People watching I must say is a favorite of mine, and you see every kind of person, with every emotion... and just an fyi a man who just ran by ran by about an hour ago! crazzy! back to what I was saying. There are people crying, people laughing, smiling, dumbfounded, angry, inexpressible, happy, apprehensive, anxious, silly, off, sleepy, ecstatic, moody, playful, creative, in their own world, focused, nice, different, try hards, friendly, easy going, careless, it goes on. I suppose if you pay attention anywhere you will see all of that as well. But in a place like this the diversity is much more apparent then it would be.. say in a small town like Chardon perhaps. A nice man just waved to me, I think it might have been because I was looking around and possibly right at him. haa. I guess it makes sense. Well now that I have completed most of my analyzing, I believe it is time to wake up mom and let me take a nap in Central Park. :)
