New York City (!!) and Pennsylvania!!

Towards the end of January I got to fly out to visit some friends of ours who live in Pennsylvania. I flew all by myself!! I mostly did it because I felt I should step out of my comfort zone and do something by myself. I did it and I was totally fine! I'm proud of myself for stepping out and sticking through with it!

I flew into New Jersey, and when Dan and Heather picked me up we took the train to New York City!! It's still surreal to me. Did I really see Times Square and The Statue of Liberty and everything?!? Yes, I did!!

I also got a taste of Pennsylvania coal country, which was weird because it's definitely different than where I'm from, but really fascinating too. And the hills!! So pretty!!










It's weird to see hills from up above. It's like playing SimCity or something. Haha!

The vendor (in NYC!!) gave both Heather and I an inch of scallion cream cheese on our bagels. What...
When in Rome...

In the NYC Subway...











Vietnamese Pho. Soo good!!

TIMES SQUARE!!!

Me in Times Square!! Haha. And it looks like it's noon but it's nighttime. So cool!



Heather and I baked and cooked all Saturday, including French bread. 




The Mt. Carmel library doesn't use a computerized system...




The barista at the Starbucks in Hamburg, PA asked how my name was spelled. I had to document the time Starbucks got my name right...
