New York, New York

The last several days consisted of a road-trip with my family to Maker Faire 2011. It was held in a giant town called New York City, which is apparently the city that never sleeps. I can vouch for that...because it was next to impossible to get a good nap while I was there! The purpose of our trip was to go to the convention, where Daddy was exhibiting his nifty robot that he made; however, we also spent some time seeing the sites.

Among the places we visited was Central Park, which is a gigantic playground filled with lots of things to see and do. It was a huge, green park, right in the middle of the city, surrounded by big, tall buildings looking down on it! There were tons of different kinds of people to watch!

We did some walking around Manhattan, seeing some place called Times Square, the Children's Museum, the Freedom Tower, and more! One of my favorite places was the Children's Museum, where I got to play with Curious George and Dora the Explorer; here I am below being an animal doctor--that turtle needed a shot!

Our whole family went on the trip, including Isaiah, Mama, Daddy and me. We stayed in a hotel and ate at a bunch of different restaurants. We even rode on some trains!! It was Isaiah's first time in a hotel, and he did pretty good trying not to cry too much away from home.

All in all, it was a fun, exciting and exhausting trip, but we were all glad to finally make it home to our own beds after a very long drive. And, we were very glad to see Aunt Abbey and Bayley, who missed me terribly! I guess they missed Isaiah too...hopefully, next time Aunt Abbey can come too!
