My Trip to New York for Thanksgiving
By Dakota DeLardge
Last Thanksgiving my family and I went to New York. I went to New York with my mom, grandma, brother, cousin, nieces, and my sister-in-law. I was in the car with my mom, grandma and nieces. My brother, cousins and my sister-in-law took the bus. It took 6 hours to drive to New York. It was an adventure.
When we arrived, we went to my aunt’s house in the Bronx. We spent a night, then we started cooking. We cooked the stuffing, sweet potatoes, and the cake. My other family members brought food too. Then we got dressed, then we met up at my great aunt’s house.
We sat and talked for a bit. Then it was time to say what we were thankful for. I said I was thankful for God, family, friends, food and clothes to wear. After that we all sat down and ate turkey, ham, mac-and-cheese, collard greens, rice, gravy, stuffing, sweet potatoes, cake and cupcakes.
The next day I woke up then I had leftovers from Thanksgiving. We went to the mall. That mall was so big! Then I went on the carousel with my great aunt, nieces and my sister-in-law. Then we ate some Popeyes.
The next day it was time to leave. We woke up around 10:30am. My great aunt made us sandwiches. Also, some snacks. Then we said our goodbyes. After that we were rushing out the door. I had so much fun on my Thanksgiving trip.
