Over winter break, I got to go to New York City, and it was so amazing! I have been before but it’s such a big city there is always something new to do. One of the best parts was seeing a Broadway show. I had never seen anything like it before—the lights, the music, and the actors were all incredible. 

I also got to spend time with some of my family who live there. It was nice catching up with them and hearing all their stories about living in such a big city. They took me to some great restaurants and showed me around a little which was exhilarating.

And, of course, I went to Times Square. It was SO bright and busy, even at night. It kind of felt like I was in a movie. I took a bunch of pictures, went into some entertaining stores, and bought some cute souvenirs. Overall, it was such a fun trip, and I’m already hoping I can go back again soon!
