Philly & New York Trip (WARNING this is A LOT of pictures)

My friend Marcy and I went to visit Angela, Paul and Hayden in Philadelphia, all of us took the trip to New York for the weekend. It was such a blast!! When we first got there we took the subway and spent time touring downtown Philly. We saw a lot of cool buildings and historical sites. We ate at a historic farmers market, Reading Terminal Market. It had a huge selection of baked goods, meats, poultry, seafood, produce, flowers, ethnic foods, cookware and eclectic restaurants throughout the market, we ate the best burger there!! We went to Pen's Landing and saw some cool battle ships, we ate the biggest cheese steak of our lives, we played the lottery, saw the Rocky statue, saw some huge crazy cemeteries. We saw where the Philly's won the world series, we saw where the Eagles play ball. The next day we drove to Lancaster and saw some Amish towns, we drove through Intercourse PA and got some souvenirs, we tried there pretzels and homemade root beer that tasted pretty nasty. Then we drove to Hersey and went to the Chocolate World, we saw how chocolate candies are made, it was fun! We felt like we were at Willy Wanka's Chocolate factory. Then we went over to Hersey Park an amusement park by chocolate world. We went on rides, went in shops and played games. It was a good time! Over the weekend we drove two hours to New York City and stayed in the Marriott just down the street from Time Square. We went around time square, went shopping on Canal Street, went to little Italy, saw central park, statue of liberty, ground zero, empire state building, Rockefeller center. We had such a great trip!! Thanks Ang and Paul for Hosting us.

This was the funniest shop ever. It was a trickster store, it had

The lady at the front desk even squirts the customers
in the store with water, and air. It was funny until she squirted
Hayden in the face. (mean lady)

Okay, I know you had a warning as your title, but holy crap, that was the longest post I've ever read. But I read it and looked at all of it! I love New York. That's cool you got to go there with friends. I want to do that sometime. That'd be so fun!
