Tonight we experienced the biggest highlight in New York City
It first started out with an extraordinary shopping trip, then it continued with dinner in the Hard Rock Café and at the end we got some free time at Time Square.
First we enjoyed the lights surrounding us and we wanted to be part of it. American Eagle Outfitters made our dreams come true. We found out that we could take a picture up there once we showed our receipt.
So we took our photo and waited 5 minutes. Finally our picture showed up on the huge screen and we all yelled: “We are famous!”
Then we realized that our bus would be leaving within 3 minutes so we started running like crazy. Suddenly we noticed that a person dressed as Elmo was chasing us because he thought that we had stolen something. Once we explained it, he left us alone and we made it to the bus, luckily. It was hilarious, an experience we’ll never forget!
