Christmas Adventures in NYC


Another thing to cross off the Christmas Bucket List!!!!!


Actually, a couple things can get crossed off! Yay! First let me remind you of what the list actually was.



Samantha's Christmas Bucket List

[X] Watch "The Nativity Story"
[] Write Christmas cards
[] Go to New England for the live nativities
[X] Go to NYC with my cousin Alex and visit my friend Moody
[X] Skate in Rockefeller and then go for hot chocolate
[X] Take a walk in my hometown to look at the decorations, and then go to my local pub with friends.
[] Host a girl's night
[] Fall asleep by the tree
[] Worship in my new church
[] Read "A Christmas Carol"
[X] Celebrate Advent
[] See "The Hobbit" with my brothers.

As you can see, there are a couple more X's. 

This past weekend, my cousin Alex and I took the bus down to NYC to visit my friend Moody. That lucky girl, she has an unbelievable apartment right in the hub of Midtown. Wow. Adventures ranged from visiting the Museum OF Natural History, to picnics in Central Park, to jumping on a subway to Little Italy that magically dumped us off in Soho....uh-oh.
