so i recently went on a 2 day road trip with alex, andrew and caleb. we first went to washington DC.
the washington monument was pretty cool. it was so tall!
then we started walking over to the lincoln memorial.
which was even better. the big abraham lincoln was pretty amazing. he’s gigantic!
we also saw the white house, which is guarded off by fences. it didn’t really make for good pictures, but it was cool to see none-the-less.
after washington DC, we drove to philadelphia.
i actually really loved philly. there was this huge clock tower in the middle of the downtown area and it was so awesome to look at. we also ate at geno’s steaks for some authenic philly cheese steaks. they were so tasty!
after philadelphia, we stayed at a motel for the night.
it was actually pretty nice. i showered twice (naturally) and we got a good nights rest.
in the morning, we started driving to the big apple.
plainly put, new york city is awesome. while i still like chicago better, nyc was something you just have to experience. one of the coolest things was that we could walk up and down the middle of the streets, because alot of streets are blocked off for cars.
after walking around for a little bit, we stopped at this place called the diner (real original huh?). we all got grilled chicken sandwiches and they were super good.
after eating, we walked down to see all the stores of nyc.
we stopped at supreme, kid robot, bape, the hundreds and a few other stores. literally all the big name stores are located within a few blocks of eachother, so it was super cool to see all of them. i got a keychain from the hundreds that says “good for one NYC fare”. good souvenir if i say so myself!
after leaving nyc, we drove to new jersey to see the bulls vs. nets game.
the nets won, but the game was pretty fun to watch either way. the bulls only lost by 2 anyway.
all in all, it was a fun (yet expensive) road trip. we didn’t really get to see any of the big things in new york city, like times square or central park, but i still had fun.
i would definitely wanna visit all these places again!
with 9 hours to go on the way home, me and andrew decided to look for a mcdonalds and ended up in the middle of a creepy town called axeman… and as we were heading back to the highway, andrew was like “man, we just really need a micky dee’s right now” and sure enough, the golden arches appeared out of nowhere. it was so weird. better yet, they had these custard pie things for like 50 cents and they were delicious.
currently in the state of indiana on a spur of the moment road trip to new york city and washington dc with caleb, paden, andrew, and alex. singing motion city soundtrack!
yesterday i went up to chicago with some friends. of course me and andrew had to get ready first.
it was actually a lot of fun. we went to caleb’s apartment which is on a busy one way street. it sort of reminded me of where my aunt and uncle use to live.
after arriving, we went to a pizza place about 15 minutes walking distance away.
the pizza was really cheap and tasty.
everyone eventually left, one by one as it got later in the night.
all in all i had a great time and i really just wanted an excuse to post these pictures. caleb lives in a 3 flat apartment and from the outside, the building’s are very nice to look at. i love crowded streets with a ton of trees and pretty architecture.
