Dear Aunt Rose,
On our last vacation we went to New York! It was very fun, we took the Metro to go almost everywhere. There are so many people in New York, it is amazing! We went to the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor, and then took the ferry to Coney Island to eat hot dogs on the beach. We then went window shopping down Fifth Avenue. We didn't buy anything because it was too expensive. It was a fun trip and I want to go back to see the Modern Art Museum MOMA and the Rockefeller Center.
