We survived! 10/01/2009
 
    We are in New York! I am in a cabinet! We survived the car ride! Some other people in my family is coming up but they got caught in some traffic so they will be here later. We left at exactly 5:53 am. We drove through the states we always do. Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania then we get to New Jersey! When we were pulling out of the driveway my grandpa drove by. My grandparents live next door. He was out early because he works at Target. Then we hit the road. We got here at about 8:15 pm. We drove by Newark Airport where planes come down right over you. It was cool.  We saw the Empire State Building lit up yellow and red for China. They light up that building for all the holidays. It's pretty. We will go to Times Square with the family that is coming up. It is my cousins Alex and Hunter and their parents, Jeff and Donna. We will see the ball and all the pretty stuff on Times Square. This was the first year they left up the New Year's Eve ball. It is really small actually. We say it drop when the president was sworn into office. They drop it on every holiday now. My goal is to press the button to drop the ball on New Years. Confetti is STILL falling from New Years. Its so neat, I catch pieces that are falling. But, thats all...

Comment! Its free and makes me blog! Please, think of the children.... haha.
