New York/New Jersey

Well, My sister Jennie and I came to New York& New Jersey for the week. We flew in on Wed evening and got a ride to our hotel. We got dinner and watched a movie the day we got here. Then on Thursday we got a ride from our hotel in Jersey to New York City. We got dropped off by Central Park and walked around there, went by the Zoo. When we got to the Zoo and were walking around it started to pour, luckily there was a man selling umbrellas on the corner, so we bought one. Then walked to Manhatten Temple/ Church building. It was really cool. It really does just blend in with the tall buildings. Then we walked to time square and went to the Disney store and to Toys R' Us. The toys r us is HUGE!! It has a Ferris wheel in it.. Jennie and I rode on the Mr. Potato Head car. It was a lot of fun.
After, we rode that and walked around the store the rain had stopped. We then met up with James Pierce, Davids brother and got some famous New york cupcake and went to the Natural History Musuem. It was pretty fun. After that we went to dinner with James and his girlfriend Elise at the Famous Shake Shack. I haven't had that great of a burger in a long time. The last activity of the night was Shakespeare in the Park. Elise won us tickets. It kind of reminded me of the Tuachann in St. George.It was a  fun filled day and we were both very tired.
Here are some pics....

Decisions, Decisions.......

Well, it has been a few days.. OK almost a week since I last blogged. Camp has been fun and I've met a lot of wonderful amazing people but, I have decided to come home early. I know many of you question why.  I just feel it is the best thing for me to come home. I have enjoyed my time here and have learned many things. Over the last week i have learned how to use excel, merge documents from word to excel, drive a golf cart, and train new people in the office. It has been great! I'm very excited to come home and be with my family and do things there as well.  I will take some other pics and post them later but for now I'm off. Just thought I would post a quick update. ciao!!
