New York! New York!

YAY! I was in New York this past weekend and it was great. Loads of unfortunate things happened during this trip, but let's not talk about it to ruin the fun. It wasn't what I expected on this New York trip, but nonetheless, I had loads of fun. Firstly, this is for you Jasper! I miss you! No, unfortunately I did not get to talk to "Jasper"! As you can probably tell, he is the Japanese version of you.



Getting lost in NY and trying to get used to the roads...







hmmm... so many things happened that I don't even know where to begin talking about this trip. We started driving from the South Shore at 4 in the morning. That was crazy since I didn't sleep at all before we left. Didn't get to sleep much in the car either, kept waking up every half an hour. So by the time we got to New York, headed to Chinatown to have lunch, I was half dead.













Why did it feel like we didn't do much on Saturday?? I wanted to visit the Wedding Cafe in New York, but unfortunately they weren't open for some reason, it is not very clearly stated on their website that an appointment is needed if we just want to go visit. Super disappointed, oh well, next time! But this is my for my future, is to open up one of these in Canada... Darn, forgot to take a picture of the cafe front.

Saturday pretty much came and went, didn't get a chance to visit any tourist attractions at all. It was at the Japanese restaurant when I saw "Jasper!"

Sunday was much better in terms of doing things a tourist would do in NY. The church I went to in the morning was called Liquid Church. Don't let the name scare you, it wasn't bad! The pastor reminded me of Pastor Dave!

While the girlies went crazy shopping, the other half of the people went to the "ferry". I can't believe I got tricked into it! It was no ferry ride alright. Basically you just pay to get on the SPEEDBOAT to get wet. And if you didn't get wet from the speedboat, they will spray you with water themselves, some people for the "bucket!" We had a little water fight with the other speedboat that passed us by, stopped at the Statue of Liberty for 5 minutes, more water fights and that pretty much concluded the ride. I got sprayed by the guy too, fortunately not much. HAHA! Of course I have to thank Isaac for getting wet for me! Fortunately for me and unfortunately for him he was next to me to block off all the water, so I was only 1/4 wet while he was soaked from head to toes.

After the "FERRY" ride, it was time for BOARD WAY! YAY!

We had a super late dinner at Hard Rock Cafe.



We got back to the hotel at 1am-ish?

There was a line up for the bathroom and of course as tired as we were, we wasted no time, took out the cards and slapped Jack. It was more like slap Johnny! Notice in the video there's a hand that's always 5 seconds late...



Monday... everyone went ga ga goo goo at the Japanese supermarket/food court which was on the way to Woodbury Outlets. Spent a couple of hours there...


After lunch, we split up again into two groups. The girls of course would want to spend as much time as they can at the outlets... well, all the girls except for me... I went with the guys to the Military Academy. Very interesting. Too bad the museum was closed by the time we got back from the 1 hour tour.

After the tour, we went back to Woodbury to meet up with the rest of the girls (plus Johnny) and did more shopping. Everyone left with something, especially Andrew...

I just realized I didn't take any group pics on my camera, lucky we had Andrew on the trip. Eeeekkk, heading back to Montreal means WORK. But of course I had something else to look forward to... LP! YAY! He arrived in Montreal while we were still on the road. Can't wait for the Thousand Islands trip this weekend!!!
