The last 6 days ( SORRY!!!)

This weekend we took a 5 hour bus ride to Washington D.C, it was nice to get out of NYC for a few days. My favorite part of our weekend trip to D.C was seeing the white house! we didn't get to see much but it was still cool. we also got to go up into the Washington Monument! It was so high up in the air. There was a great view from the little windows. We also went swimming in our hotel in D.C, that was fun because we don't have a pool here in NYC! Oh and we got caught in the pouring rain and Jade and I huddled under a tiny umbrella!

Well the past few days hasn't been that eventful, oh except for Coney Island and Washington DC. In Coney Island we went on the oldest roller coaster in the country called the Cyclone. Let me just say that thing hurt my neck soo bad! We also went to a freak show..this guy laid on a bed of nails and had me step on his chest, I was not okay with that haha. And the museum was pretty interseting, the funniest part was the mirrors. Washington DC was cool, I want to go back there with my family and have more time to see evevything though. We went to the Vietnam and the World War 2 memorials and those were both really sad, there were people crying and it made me happy to know my uncle is safe and in the states. Overall the trip was good, just the long bus ride home sucked!
Oh and I got my subway umbrella, as Gabby mentioned(:

Note: So sorry we haven't blogged!
These past 6 days in the never sleeping city have been relaxing, eventful and enjoyable. We went to Coney Island and rode the oldest roller coaster in the US named the Coney Island Cyclone. Which I think was built in 1922 or 27.. I forget which one but it's that old! While in Coney Island we ate at Nathan's famous Hotdogs. Which by the way is where the national Hotdog eating contest is held. ( if you didn't know..) We also went and saw the sideshows. Which was awesome! I got to be in one to! They put me in the electric chair and light lights up off of my body! I seriously was shocked! No pun intended. After Coney Island we spent the weekend in DC. What an amazing area. I was in awe over the city and all the history it holds. Each monument and memorial with its own story... Wow. My favorite part about the DC trip has to be our visit to the Washington Memorial. We were able to go up inside it! I had noooo idea you could even do that!
Until tomorrow, peace out.
