So I must Share my trip to New York.  So of you might not know that I’m West Indian. Both sides of my mothers family are traced back to Trinidad, St.Vincent, Curacao,Aruba, and I think that’s it :) . So anyway I went to visit my grandfathers side. His niece who hadn’t seen she was so 12 years old flew in from Germany to fly in to NY before coming to DC to visit us. So when I found out that they were surprising her with her daughter a cousin of mine that I’m very close with I got a bus ticket.

I get to Manhattan…and the trip came off to a Rocky Start. Apparently I googled the wrong address. I forgot to put Brooklyn in there so I basically had to wait two hours for my cousins to pick me up.  Up since 3:30 am…I was tired. When they arrived it was no time before we were shopping…I found some really nice stuff after fooling around with my cousins.

My cousin found this cute yellow jacket leather, of course my boobs wouldn’t let me get one. I found one in a red color, with a hood. So nice. I ended up finding a very nice Houndstooth Jacket, a pair or brown leather booties, and a nice necklace that I have to alter because the bead fell off. That’s what happens when get a necklace for 8 dollars.

This is the necklace which i cropped out the broken part.

So my trip ended well for the most part. I saw a lot of family that I never met. I decided I’m going up to canada for xmas to visit the rest of them as well. Curacao for a family reunion next year and Germany to visit my cousin that came down to visit. I think next year will be so fun, including the wedding I’m going to be in next November.

It’s sad that we didn’t get to do more site seeing in New York. Hopefully we will get a chance to go again next year and take a lot of picture. In fact I think that going at the end of September to see the kind tut exhibit with my Boyfriend. That should be really fun.
