Big Cities -Gibson

 


Before New York we went to Washington. We saw the White House and Capital Hill. They are both really fancy as they have pillars with cool designs on them. Capital Hill had a lot of people there looking at it. I liked Washington because it had a lot of old buildings. I like old stuff and I don’t know why



Manhattan was a lot of fun, but it’s very busy, and not chill like Mexico. It was cool to see Time Square. Time Square is the only place I’ve seen on video and I’m glad I got to see it in person. Time Square is the most lit up with light, and I might have said this in the last blog, that I wanted to see New York’s lights.






New York food… These are food places you should go. I went to them and they’re good, I mean very good. Their names are, Bo’s Bagels, Levains cookies, Katz’s Deli. These were great places to eat. Thinking about it, I am still stuffed.



The Empire State building was tall and had 102 floors in total. It was amusing to go on the elevator to the 86 floor. It went faster than normal. It was not scary.  On the 80th floor we saw Darth Maul and Darth Vader in lego (life size).


 






Grand Central Station is the biggest train station I’ve ever seen in my life. It has 67 tracks in total. It has the most tracks in the world.  It is the coolest building ever, train station I mean. The station was very busy even at midnight, when you think people would be asleep. When in Time Square the streets weren’t as busy as I thought.



We also went to a Harry Potter Broadway show, called Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. It was so cool because some stuff you didn’t know how they did it. For example, people disappeared from the stage into a telephone booth. It was almost better than a movie I’d say. I want to see another one. I love Manhattan. I hope to come back. 

 




In New York State we also went to the Corning Museum of Glass. We got to decorate cups by putting stickers and tape on the cup and then sand blasting it. It was very fun. Another  thing I liked at the museum was the flameworking demo. Flameworking is a one person job only and I liked it because you can stop and start in the middle of a piece.  I want to try it when I get home. I wasn’t able to flamework at the museum because I was too young. 






New York is in my top 5 places I love. It is up there with Zion (Utah), Oregon, Yellowstone (Wyoming) and Baja (Mexico). I want to plan another trip again. I love New York.

The Deep South

      As I mentioned briefly in the last blog, the last few days in Texas we hit up Houston. We took the longer scenic drive towards Galveston, and spent the night on the beach in Seaside before making it to Houston the following day. The drive was so beautiful, aside from the brown water in the ocean. Also, it was way more built up than the Baja. Here, all the houses are on stilts. That sure was a surprise to see. I did love how colorful they all were! I heard from a local that Galveston used to be the biggest city on the east coast way back, and then it was hammered by a storm that flooded it, causing major damage. Since then, they have raised all of Galveston 12 feet, put all the houses up on stilts (building code) and built an extensive sea wall. If anything, the US people will not back down and move their location. They will adapt! I think mother nature always wins, and because of that, this is not a place I would live. But, who am I say. Another thing I asked about ...

Nashville -Wyatt

       Chugging along going through lots of other places we arrived at Nashville. When we got to Nashville mom had already booked us a few different places to go play, see or watch something. In Nashville we went to a trampoline park called Altitude. At Altitude they had a mechanism called Wipeout. The setup for Wipeout was four trampolines in a circle and a big bar that swung around and I had to jump over it. The first time that I went on it, I was wondering how fast it could go. I think that the Wipeout mechanism was fun because if Gibson or I hit it with a part of our body and it stopped, I could push it and it would make it go twice as fast as it normally would. One time when I went to jump over it I jumped too late and my legs got hit by the soft bar and went face first into the trampoline. It felt weird to do a face plant into the trampoline because I had never done one before. Altitude also had a balance beam fighting game. When Gibson and I where fighting, I ...

I Don't Want To Title This - Gibson

  These are some highlights from, Georgia, Nashville, and Kentucky. In Georgia we did a lot, but it was raining most of the while. Georgia is known for its antiquing. We did quite a bit of antiquing. We went to 3 antiquing shops, my Omie would have been all about it. My dad got an old fishing rod to hang in his garage.   I can’t lie Georgia was a pretty cool place. I like antiquing and I loved Georgia very very much. Next I went to Nashville Tennessee. Tennessee brought some more antiquing, but this time my mom got an old, working train light. The train light has red and blue lights.   My mom also bought a ladder and some jars. In Nashville, we went to a professional soccer game, Nashville vs LA. The professional soccer game was pretty cool to see in person.   The stadium was not as big as on TV but it was still big.   The players and goalies are so good compared to my level of soccer.   I liked Kentucky. In Kentucky we met some friends named Liam and ...
