Best Times Bobber

Have you ever been on a really awesome vacation? One that you really really don’t want to end? Have you ever want to “accidentally” lose your plane ticket back so you can stay on your vacation longer? If that hasn’t happened to you then it will when you take a vacation to New York. These are three reasons why this” will happen

We rode a double decker bus in New York. It was 13 degrees outside but I wanted to sit on top. We had just gotten out of dinner and our hotel room was a pretty long walk so we waited for the bus. The bus was like 10 feet high and as red as bricks. It turned into a long quite night. I was a wee chap at the time and I wasn’t going to go on the bus unless we went up to the top. My dad didn’t want to go up to the top because it was so cold and the wind made it even colder but like I said I wasn’t going to ride the bus unless we went up to the top. My dad was pretty mad at me and didn’t say much the rest of the night.

Next come the awesome Ferris wheel. You’ll never guess where it was but I’ll tell you anyways. It was in a frickin Toys R Us store in Times Square. Who would have thought that when I’m going in to a toy store to get something I’m also going on a frickin huge Ferris wheel. Now I usually don’t like the thought of being at extreme heights and spinning but who could pass up a Ferris wheel in a frickin Toys R Us. They seats you sat in had animal characters on it. Now as a kid I had a slight obsession with Geoffrey the Toys R Us giraffe. I know it was kinda weird but I was so excited because, you guessed it the character on my seat was Geoffrey.

Last come the dinner paid for by my dads company. My dad’s boss wanted to do something nice for my dad because he was a really good employee. So he told us to go to this restaurant and my dad could pay with the company’s credit card. So we get to the place and it was really fancy and gourmet. Any ways theres no menu because its just an all you can eat kind of place. You told the chef practically anything and he would cook it for you. I must have gotten like three steaks it was so good. The real surprise was the bill. The dang dinner cost $300 dollars for the five of us. I mean it’s a good thing we didn’t have to pay for it or we would be scrubbing dishes for the rest of our lives. Overall like the best dinner I’ve ever had.
