I ♥ NY (2)

Another day in New York City!

In our 2nd day in the City, my sister and I went to Grand Central Station, Central Park, Upper East and West side, The Metropolitan Museum, and Soho. I didn't take much pictures of the Upper East&West side and Soho though.

Me and my sister got lost finding our way back to the Path train. The Path train is the port authority of New York and New Jersey. Well, you never get to experience New York City if you haven't got lost! Haha!

So New York and New Jersey are the last places we went to on this trip. I feel very blessed to go to these places, I thank Him for everything! :)

I ♥ NY

Finally! One dream down, a few more to go!

All my life, I've been wanting to go to New York City, one of my ultimate dream places to go to and this Summer of 2012, that dream became a reality.

After our Boston trip, we went to New York City (the Big Apple and the City that never sleeps ♥). We stayed at my mom's friend's house in New Jersey so it was just minutes away from New York. On our first day, we went to Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, National September 11 Memorial&Museum, Flat Iron, Madison Square Park, and Times Square.

I Think I'll Go To Boston

Augustana's song 'Boston' is stuck in my head while I'm doing this post right now. 

I think I'll go to Boston, I think I'll start a new life, I think I'll start it over where no one knows my name!

I ♥ that song

And it's stuck in my head because I am going to tell you about my 1-day stay in Boston! Haha!

Boston is such a beautiful place (I keep on saying this in every place that I've already go to, 'coz it's true! They're beautiful!).

After Texas, we arrived at the Newark Airport in New Jersey, left our luggages at my mom's friend's house then went on a 5-hour car ride to Boston (Yes, another long ride). It was already 9:45 in the evening by the time we arrived there so we decided to roam around Boston the next day.

For our first and last day in Boston, we went to the 2 of the most famous schools in the world, Boston University and Harvard University. Starstrucked! Or should I say school-strucked? (Excuse me for my bad sense of humor. Haha!)

If I were to choose on which part of the East Coast I would live, I'd choose Boston.

Howdy!

Yeehaw! Texas!!

It was my first time to go to Texas, spent two days there and I loved it! While inside the plane, I already pictured out what Texas look like based on what I know about the state. I imagined cowboys and saloons everywhere, and horses and cactuses (this means I watch too much TV) but I was absolutely wrong. Texas is the total opposite of what I expected!

For our first day in Texas, we landed at Houston and it was really hot, like Philippines hot-HOT! My aunt brought us to Crave Cupcakes and I have to say their cupcakes are THE BEST cupcakes ever! Too bad they only have 2 branches and both are only in Houston.

We didn't roam around Houston that much because we need to get ready for the 4-hour drive to San Antonio.

In our Second and last day in Texas, we went to San Antonio and Austin. San Antonio, for me, is more historical than modern. We went to this place called Riverwalk then to The Alamo. We were supposed to check out the stores in Riverwalk but by the time we got there, all of the stores were closed (talk about bad timing).

The Alamo is a historical place that was a part in the Texas Revolution.

After San Antonio, we had another long drive to Austin. Austin, Texas is like the "capital" of Texas where you can see alot of tall buildings, businessmen/women, and it's more modern than Houston and San Antonio. The Capitol of Texas is also located in Austin.

And that was my 2-day trip in Texas! I want to go back and stay for more than 2 days there just to know and experience what it's like to be a Texan! :)
