New York - Scarred for Life

Have you ever been on a tour and then seen the place where one of your favorite movies was filmed? I did in New York. In New York we visited the Empire State Building, Pop Tart World, the American Girl Store, Statue of Liberty, and FDR's Presidential Museum. We also went on a bus tour of New York City. 

The Empire State Building was so cool!  It was amazingly tall.  I had fun playing "I Spy" from the viewing area.  Do you want to know what was really cool, though?  Pop Tart World! We didn't do much there, but what we could have done was awesome. We could have created a Pop Tart t-shirt. We could have made a box of pop tarts. We could have picked up to three different kinds of Pop Tarts to put in one box.  We could have done so many things, but unfortunately we didn't do the cool stuff. 

The American Girl Store was awesome! I was just browsing, but there were so many things that I wish I could have bought because I am a big fan of American Girls. I already have three. I've been to three American Girl Stores on our trip, and the one in New York City was by far the best because it was the biggest and the fanciest. 

The Statue of Liberty was the most patriotic thing I've ever seen. She was amazing! One thing that I learned was the same person that built the Eiffel Tower built the structure of the Statue of Liberty. Since we went inside, we could see the similarities. Don't get me wrong we've never been to the Eiffel Tower. It's just so popular that when I hear the words "Eiffel Tower," I automatically have a picture of the Eiffel Tower in my head. 

The FDR Museum has left a scar in my life literally. I have the biggest scar you will never see on my knee. I got the scar when we were walking back into the building from a tour. The rocks were loose causing me to trip. I fell on the hard, loose rocks. I still have a scar, and it's been nearly six months since I fell! Besides the scar, the FDR Museum was okay but not the best. We learned that FDR liked to climb trees like me, but that's all I remember. 

The bus tour of New York City was interesting. We passed by the museum where Night at the Museum was filmed. Night at the Museum is one of my favorite movies. On the bus tour we also stopped by Central Park. Central Park is beautiful! It's so beautiful I can't even begin to describe it, but I'll try. Central Park had a beautiful lake right in the middle with ducks gracefully swimming. It was so peaceful at Central Park. I felt like I could just lay down and take a nap. Central Park by far was one of the most peaceful, beautiful, and graceful places I've ever been. 

Overall New York was okay but definitely not my favorite. I would recommend the Empire State Building, Pop Tart World, American Girl Store, Statue of Liberty, and Central Park. By the way they came out with Night at the Museum 2, and it's even better than the first!
