 We were in the financial district and staten island all day today and we are going to Central Park and surrounding area tomorrow and then to Broadway and Times Square on Saturday and then walk the Brooklyn bridge and see Williamsburg on Sunday and then go see the natural history and the international aeronautical space museum on Monday and then do everything we missed on Tuesday. We also saw the 9/11 memorial today. The house we are staying in jersey city is a 1890s mansion built by this Irish immigrant family whose great grandson is now renting it out so strangers can defile his family’s cherished heirlooms.

July 22-28

This week was busy! I finished my summer job on Tuesday. When I got home Paul surprised me with plane tickets to New York! We leave this coming Wednesday :) I can't wait! Wednesday I drove up to Logan and took up most of our stuff since Paul extended his internship until Tuesday and we wouldn't be coming back to Logan until after vacation. I got some sushi that night since Paul is not a fan and watched a little Avatar haha. I brought up a painting that Paul's Grandpa painted and it was my favorite so I'm real happy :) Thursday I got my hair done before driving back to Provo. I went to the beauty school up there and the girl was really sloppy. My back was wet the whole time from my hair and my shirt got bleach stains from the dye. Not a super fun 5 hours but I like how my hair turned out.  Saturday we went to North salt lake to see Paul's family. We went for a hike up Brighton to Lake Mary. It was beautiful but we didn't bring bug spray so we got eaten aliv
