“Get up!” said my dad.

“I'm coming!” I said as I rushed out.

“You gotta get you stuff before we go,” my dad said.

“And go wake up Carly and your Gram.”

I got my stuff (and woke them up) and we drove out to New York City! As we were entering NYC, I saw HUMONGOUS 600 foot buildings and wanted to go see EVERYTHING! I said, “We should go see that on! And that one!”

It was SO different from anything I've ever seen! In State College, the tallest building is the Fraser Centre which is 155 feet, but the tallest building in NYC is the one world trade center which is 1,776 feet!, that's only 941 feet away from the tallest building in the world! The one world trade center is the 7th tallest building in the world!

NYC looked so much cooler than anything in State College. Dad, Carly, Gram, and I went and put our stuff in the hotel and we went on our adventure! We went and saw the Rockefeller Center (and it's 873 feet which is still bigger than the Fraser Center), and it was so much bigger than buildings in State College! It was so black and big and cool. We were near the top after the tour (we climbed stairs and went up elevators) and my dad was talking to a tour guide and he told us we were not supposed to go up top but he would let us. So, we got in the elevator and when we got up there was a box around the elevator and it was windy so they made it so you don't fly out and die. There was also railings to help too, but they were really short. We were all scared so we called an elevator and left the building.

Then, we walked to Central Park witch was so big and cool and pretty. Then we went to McDonalds to eat and we saw a BIG billboard advertising Jurassic World (because it hadn't came out yet) with the Megalodon (big fish dinosaur) almost the size of a skyscraper!

We then went to Times Square and all the lights, and people, was as magical as people say it is. Then we saw some spooky people dressed in mascot costumes like Elmo and Buzz Lightyear and it was spooky because they were like 30 year old people trying to get money by taking pictures with people. “Let's get out guys,” I said.

So, we skedaddled on out of there.

We then slept and had to go home because it was sunday and school was on monday. But it was so cool because of how different it was then state college. It was so awesome to look up and see skyscrapers TOWERING over us! It was so beautiful and different. I would totally go back!
