Our trip to New York City
Ava Shearer This is a story about my grandma, Jane Shearer, and our wonderful trip to New York City. This story took place in December before everything shut down due to the pandemic. My grandma is one of the most adventurous people I have ever met. She has been to too many places to count. She often likes to include her grandchildren in her adventures. We left from Mifflintown on a bus to head to New York at 5 a.m., and boy was it a trip. After long hours on a bus talking and playing games we arrived. As we were entering New York we were greeted by an amazing view of New York’s skyline. Once we were dropped off we headed to Time Square. We shopped, ate and tried not to get run over. After viewing most of Times Square we decided we would head to Central Park.
We started walking 10 or so minutes before we realized we were going in the wrong direction. Once we got flipped around and made it to Central Park, it was beautiful. It’s hard to think that there could be a spot like that in the middle of a big city. Of course we took lots of pictures and headed to Rockefeller Center where we would watch the Rockettes’ amazing performance. By the time we were done with it, it was almost time to go. On the way back we stopped to look at the Christmas tree, which was not yet full up. We made it back to the bus all in one piece. The ride home consisted of lots of laughs and fun times. The fact that my grandmother took the timeout of her schedule to take her Ava Shearer’s adventurous grandmother took her four oldest granddaughters grandchildren to New York City. to New York will forever be a great memory for me.
