New York City

Monday we went to New York City- we rode on a bus for 4 hours to get there but it wasnt as bad as it sounds. I have never been to New York before and could not believe how big of a city it was! We rode on a double decker bus when we got there that took us to all of the major places to see. It was way nice cuz you could hop on and hop off anytime you wanted and then they would come pick you up. I loved going to little Italy.... it was crazy that everywhere you turned was an Italian resteraunt. The food was yummy! They had flea markets everywhere so me and shay tried to barter with the people a little bit... were not the best at it but we are getting better! haha I loved time square and central park.... we didnt have a lot of time to walk through central park or to go tour the statue of liberty so hopefully me and Brock will go back there sometime this summer.

Rhode Island Mansions-- Tour!

Last weekend Shay, Julie and Darin came here to visit it was so much fun! The first day we went into Boston to do the Freedom Trail and right as it started I got a call from Brock and I had accidentally locked him out of the house so I had to hurry and ride the T home and get his stuff for him. I was pretty bummed that I missed out on Boston but I guess I have the rest of the summer to go there :) Saturday the four of us went to New Port and took a tour of the mansions! I could not believe how big and gorgeous they were inside. It was amazing! The walls were covered in gold.... One house was called the marble house which all the walls and floors were covered in marble. I couldnt believe that people actually lived in these things. And the sad part is they were only their summer homes and would only stay there for 8 weeks out of the whole year! I wish I could post some pics of the insides of the mansions but they wouldnt let us take pictures. After that we went and ate at the red parrot and then walked along the pier and watched a beautiful sunset! Darin sat there for 30 minutes waiting for it haha while us girls went and looked at the shops.




Okay this is one if the tea houses of the mansions. This is where they went just to have tea. crazy
