New York City


My favorite place on earth is New York City. Yes. New York, I LOVE it. If you have not been, make plans to go. New Yorkers get such a bad rep. I think they are charming folks who live in a high pace society so they are just a product of that. I remember as a little girl and meeting people who were interested in me because I said I was from Oklahoma. And I blushed when the men said they LOVE southern women. Oww!

My sister and I planned our trip back in April. There is a bus company called mega bus and they sell tickets as cheap as a dollar! That's right, a dollar! So it was a no brainer to ride the bus oppose to flying for Memorial Day weekend.


As soon as we arrived in New York I wanted to get me either some good Chinese food, or Italian. We ended up getting Italian food. YUM!

Our first stop was Time Square. We had street artist to make us pictures from scratch. My sister got make up done and it was fab! There were sailors walking up and down the street. Fine ones too!! The funniest part was meeting cookie monster and seeing Dora. The protesters were serious!


We then went to Central Park for the first time. BEAUTIFUL. The park just had a spiritual feel to it. I felt connected to GOD. I got me a hot dog and strolled the park. The most amazing view was looking over the Hudson river to New Jersey.





My sister and I are street bball fans. We LOVE going to the hood and finding a basketball court full of man. And guess what? We did just that. Enjoyed watching the guys put on their best show for us:) After chillin for an hour we left to get ready for the night.

My sisters friend told her he was djing in lower Manhattan. We had a hotel in upper Manhattan so we had to go to the other side of town. This is when we realized how big Manhattan is.




Before hitting the club we went back to Time square to see the City up close at night time. Breath taking! Cabs everywhere, people taking pics with sailors, bands playing live instruments in the streets and this is a normal thing! The funny part was seeing a lady selling Obama condoms. Really lady? My sister and I met some sailors who were kind enough to take pics with us. Fun times.


As I was getting dressed I bust open my adorable dress I bought from ASOS.COM. I pulled it together literally. Every five minutes pulling up my dress. But that did not keep me from having fun. Well it limit me on the dance floor a little bit. All I kept think was all of my breast was going to be out and I was going to look crazy! So I chilled in my little corner in VIP. But when my song came on I had to dance a minute. I had so much fun.


I did not want the evening to end. I met some great people and tons of memories I will never forget. Thank you New York! My LOVER *Carrie voice*

  2. My boss talks about the casino in Maryland all the time. It seems like it is fun from what she tells me. Thank you Stacy we did have a great time. We have been wanting to go to NYC for years and we went. I have fam in NY so I basically grew up there. But my fam lives in Long Island and they stopped going into the city. So my sister and I was like let's just go without going to L.I. like we always do wishing we were in Manhatten LOL. You would enjoy it sis. It is a great place to visit.
