Today I got up at eight O’clock. We headed down to have some breakfast. After we headed to the underground railway. We got out at 42nd street and walked to the pier. We were going to go on this speed boat. It went to the Statue of lLberty and around it in thirty minutes. Of course it was closed until May.
We then hailed a cab and went to the NBC studio tour were they make Friends and Seinfeld. But it was booked out. It was terrible. So we decided to go to the Radio City Music Hall. We got a tour through the auditorium and stage and learnt a lot about it. They actually wanted to demolish it a while back but they saved it.
After the tour we went to Paley’s Museum of TV and Radio. It was a bunch of rooms with old and current TV shows you could watch. We watched The Twilight Zone, The Brady Bunch and Freaks and Geeks. We then went to the Library and we got to choose two shows we could watch. I chose the wrestling and Ed, Edd and Eddy. There were lots to choose from. We watched them and then headed to Broadway!
We watched Mama Mia. It is a story about a girl who is about to be married and invites three possible fathers to her wedding. They turn up and everything gets complicated and then the girl's mum eventually is the one who gets married. It was pretty good with an interesting story line. It had all the music from ABBA. I got back to the hotel at about eleven O’clock and a quick go on Facebook and an hour later at midnight I am in bed.

This morning I woke up at eight thirty. I felt exhausted. I struggled out of bed and down to the breakfast area. I had a bagel and filled up a drink bottle with apple juice. After breakfast we set off to Central Park via the subway. We stopped at the world Disney store as it started to drip down rain.
We arrived at Central Park. We went to the zoo first. By now it had started raining hard. We got to go into a rainforest place were it was hot and humid. We went back outside and into the rain and saw the polar bears and some frogs. We saw other various animals and then went to see the sea lions get fed. They did tricks for us and it was cool.
We headed back off and saw the statue of Balto. It is a dog that travelled 650 miles with his dog sled team in minus 23 degrees Fahrenheit to deliver an antitoxin. I read about this when I was in Kindergarten and have wanted to see this statue ever since.
We then went to a carousel. Apparently it is a famous one. Dad said we also had to try hot dogs in Grand Central park so we got some.
It was still pouring rain so we headed to The Metropolitan Museum of Art. I wanted to go because it had a Egyptian mummy exhibit. It was really good. For lunch I had a chocolate chip cookie and a hot chocolate. Not much of a lunch but it doesn’t matter.
afterwards, we headed to Dylan’s Candy Store and got a free ice cream using our new York Passes. Dylan's is a three floor candy store. It is huge and has so many kinds of candy. You could probably get lost in that store.
We headed on over for dinner at a pizzeria. I ate a whole large pizza to myself I was that hungry. We decided to go home for an early night. The problem was that we couldn’t get a taxi. Ironically, all the four seaters wouldn’t take is in the light as opposed to willingly taking us in the dark. We finally got a seven seater and headed home. I watched Seinfeld and then two hours of Friends and went to bed.

Today was our last day. We got a cab to the airport and waited for the plane. It was late so we took off an hour late. We were waiting on the plane longer than it was in the air. We landed at Syracuse and picked up our car and travelled home. Nick and I wanted to get home quickly. We got home at twenty to eight. We turned the TV on for the 500th episode of smack down, but it was moved to tomorrow morning for basketball. We had an early night and we were so tired after our week.
