NYC 2014 Part 2

Y'all got the pictures, now time for the update...as best as I can remember lol. Supposed to be picked up at like 2 pm on Friday, didn't pick me up till like 4 and off we were on the road to NY. Made a couple stops for gas and good here and there, had burger king for dinner. The drive was supposed to be like 8-10 hours, didn't get to the hotel till 4 am...that's right, 12 hours on the road lol. I'm the only one that showered, all the boys just knocked out right away...I slept at like 6 am...we all got up at like 9 for breakfast, realized they put us in a handicap room, which is why the shower was so low and the room was catered for a handicapped person, so we switched. Good thing I showered last night cuz all the guys were showering and getting ready while I was chilling. Finally got out the door at 12, went to Times Square...got some food at a nice barbecue place. After that, walked around Times Square, went to Grand Central Station, the UN building, Rockefeller Center and a few other touristy sites, it was a full day of walking lol. Finished at around 9 and the plan was to get food, go home, get ready and go out to a club or something. We couldn't find the place where we parked our car lol...ended up asking taxi drivers, police officers, ambulances and a whole lot of other people where the hospital where our car was around. We were gonna take a taxi, ended up just talking there, drove to mcds, went home and had a guys night in cuz it was already like 2, no point going out, we all chilled till like 4 am.

Got up early the next day, had breakfast and off we went to Yankee stadium as we got tickets to the baseball game vs the Blue Jays. Combined with a super lack of sleep and baseball being pretty boring, I dozed off quite a bit during the game lol....but I caught most of the game, Jays won, which was dope as well. Got out of there at like 4, we were gonna go to the Barclay Center where the Nets play cuz they had some concert there but the game ended too late, then we debated going to the casino, ended up going to this mini mall. Went to chuck e cheese for a bit LOL...played man hunt in the parking lot for a bit, then went back to the hotel to get ready and ish to actually go out this time. Out the door by like 9 ish looking for clubs and stuff...we went to 2 different ones where they both needed reservations, found another one but by then it was already 12 and everything clsoes early on Sundays so the bouncer was like you can come in but we close in 15, so we ended up getting some Halal Guys, some bommbbbb food, going back home and calling it a night again LOL like 4 am once again.

The next day we got up super early again, went to this reeeeeally nice outlet mall, we only had an hour or so so we had to be quick, tho I wish we stayed longer cuz it was a really nice mall. Went on a ferry to Ellis Island to some museum, then went to the Statue of /Liberty, back to the car and off to the road we went back home. Lemme tell you it was a loooong drive...stopped at duty free before crossing the border but we were all poooooped. Lemme tell you the drive THERE actually was so fun, but also so tiring cuz by like 2 am it was pitch black, we were the only car on the highway so it was like something straight out of a horror movie LOOOL and we were like telling ghost stories in the car to each other lol...definitely a highlight of my summer, thank you boys, till next time!
