Holidays
Where
My family decided that as I was in TY it would be a great chance to go on a holiday. We had many discussions and we decided we would go to America, visit family, go sight seeing in New York and afterwards go skiing for a week. Originally we were just going to go skiing in Europe for a week but we found a deal which made it cheaper to go to America for two so we took it.
New York
New York was one of the most incredible places I have been. The first week of my holiday we stayed with our cousins in New Jersey, we got the train into New York on Monday to Thursday and again on Saturday, which was st Patrick’s day. We got a pass that aloud us on two bus tours and five free exhibits. The tours took us on uptown and downtown journeys around the city. Despite the Monday being bad weather the rest of the week had very good weather. The five exhibits we went to was ground zero, the Empire State, the natural history museum, the tallest tower of New York (the new WTC) and a NFL experience place in Times Square.
Vermont
The second part of the holiday we spent skiing in Vermont, this was my first ever time skiing. On the Monday morning we set out on our seven hour drive to Vermont, I downloaded a couple movies for the journey. As soon as we arrived we went to sleep as it was 10 o’clock. On Monday morning we got up at 8 and got the shuttle up to the ski hill, my parent had a lesson on skiing and I had one on snowboarding. For the rest of the week we continued this routine until on the the Wednesday I was able to snowboard the lessons, I would the get up half an hour early to snowboard to the lesson and go down a couple slopes before it. I continued to do this until Saturday morning when we got up early to leave on our seven hour journey again.
Shopping
Over the holiday we went to two big outlets, one was New Jersey gardens and the other a very big shopping centre on the way to Vermont. Both shopping centres were the biggest I had seen in my life, and even though we went to both during work and school times they were still full of people.one thing I really enjoyed was the massive sales and low prices in all the outlets.
Holiday Review
Overall I really enjoyed my holiday, I found it to be a very good experience. Once you have been to New York you don’t need to go again for a while as there in not to many new sightseeing places but I hope my family starts going skiing more often as this would definitely be something I do every year if I could.
