On my vacation I did so many amazing things. On the 2nd day my family (me, mon, dad, Grandee and Pepe Bob) went down to the boardwalk. I tried out an animal scooter thats motorized so you can drive it. We also had dinner at a cool Italian place. with Grandee and Pepe Bob. I got the cheese ravioli and it was fantastic. On the next day I went to the Toms River country club to meet Nannie (my other grandma in N.J) I swam in the pool and jumped off the diving board and we all ate dinner there in the breezeway. On the fourth day I had the most epic experience of my life called NYC. First I met Aunt Lisa at her apartment in the Lower east side of Manhattan. She and my dad were working so Mom and I saw our friend Sandy who was working near by. She met us at Union Square Park and we played at the playground there. Then I went to Dylan's Candy Bar and picked up some candy. It was like Willy Wonka. After that I had Chinnese at a place called the Cottage. I tried some delicous dumplings with a sauce that tasted like peanut butter. Me and My mom met up with our friends Kathelen and her daughter Michaela.We walked around Times Square and we had fun. I got to see the Ed Sullivan theater which is the home of the late show with Stephen Colbert. I checked into a hotel in the theater district with my parents and then I went to a burger place with Aunt Lisa called Black Tap. They are famous for something called "crazy shakes" which have cool toppings. I myself got the cookie shake. I got a t shirt from Black Tap too. Go to https://blacktapnyc.com/ for more info! Then, I saw a broadway show called School Of Rock the musical.I got a drink there called "The Teachers Pet" which was interesting. It tasted like punch with pineapple. The musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber is about a rocker named Dewey Finn who poses as a teacher and makes a rock band out of kids. I thought it was really cool and I thank my parents. I was walking out of the theater and got my way to the back of the theater. to what they call the stage door. I saw one the kids who was in the show. His name is Brandon and he played Zack. I took a picture with him and I got his autograph. He was in no rush and that made him kind. He played his own guitar parts in the show, he is a professional musician. He plays a 10 year old but we found out he is really 14.
The next day, I walked around by places like 30 Rock, Central Park, Trump Tower and St. Patrick's cathedral.We really did walk so much, like 7 miles one day. Then I went back to Jersey to get a place at the beach. We got Penthouse 5 the first night which includes a balcony. We did some beach time, I body surfed and then we went to Bum Rodgers to eat dinner. The next day we met up with our friends Maura, Aiden, Caitlin and another kid named Cole. We swam in the ocean with them. I also met with my grandparents and My Great Aunt Joanne. We changed our rooms, Mauras family got the one we were in we moved to one with an ocean view. My cousin Dylan's dad Tommy and wife Jeri hooked us up with very good rooms (he's one of the owners of the hotel which is cool). We went to the boardwalk with the kids and had dinner at a pizza place called the Sawmill. We then did some rides at the boardwalk. It was a very awesome night. It was one of the best vacations of my life!
GBob picked us up from the airport and I had a school orientation to get back for the next day.

My moving week
I went to a Bastille day festival over in Bandywood and here's a catch up on my whole last week. At the festival, there was live music sung in French. It celebrates France's independence from Napoleon. I tried some crapes with some Nutella and it was really good.
We were moving that week and there was a lot a work to be done so we went to Uncle Julio's ,a hip Mexican restaurant in Brentwood to celabrate our new house in the neighborrhood.We heard about it from our friend Rob.The food there is so good. We got table side guacamole which is so fresh.The main treat there was called the chocolate pinata which is a ball of chocolate that you hit like a piƱata and treats like mini chouros fall out .It was a really good treat. On the last day at our old house I wrote a message to the house on the living room wall because mom said i could. I felt sad saying goodbye to the house, because I grew up there but I love the new one too.
We are still moving in but we went on vacation anyway. Yesterday my Grandbobby dropped us off at the airport. So it's like G-UBER which equals Goober instead of Uber. We just got to NJ, via the Phili airport I loved it because I hadn't flown in a long time. We had a nice dinner last night at my Grandparents, Grandee and Pepe Bob's house. Now I am ready to get out and have some fun so ...bye!

Me in Mount Juliet
Mom got a text from our friend Laurie saying that she wanted to get together. She wanted me to drive out and try their riding toys to see what I might like to get to play with on our new cul de sac (Dead End).The Cook family has tons of outdoor toys to play with. I tried out a scooter which was super fun. Then I tried a green machine which is like a big wheel for big kids. I rode a 4 wheeler with Savannah driving and we raced around their yard; It was awesome! I want to buy the scooter AND the green machine. They have a pool so I swam in it but Drew and Savannah(look up the forth of July backstory to see who they are) weren't with me in the pool because its no big deal for them.It is because they live there and they can swim anytime so they watched me swim. For lunch we all went to Penn Station and I had a Philly Cheesesteak, It was like heaven. I enjoyed the visit because I love hanging out with them.

Dock's Despicable Me 3 experience
Saturday, I wanted to go to Despicable Me 3 but it was sold out so we went Sunday. Regal Green Hills (our local movie theater) is doing a big renovation where they put recliners in the theaters. I loved that idea because it was luxurious. People can also choose the seats they want now. When we went to Orlando in March there was a "dine in" theater at Disney Springs which was amazing. Unfortunately we didn't go to the Dine In one there but did see Beauty and the Beast which was fun. . Anyway, when we got in the theater yesterday, most of the seats were closed because they were cleaning it. The movie is about Gru( the main character) trying to stop Balthazar Brat (a 80s inspired villain) and finding about his twin brother name Dru who has hair unlike his bald bro.The movie was awesome and you should really see it. I love the recliners because it makes me feel like I'm at home.

Dock's spectacular Fourth of July Presented by Nissan (ha)
Let me take you back to 2 years ago. I was gonna go boating with my friends the Cooks to see fireworks. The kid's names are Savanna and Drew.The parents names are Laurie and Job.We have known them since our old neighborhood when were toddlers/babies. But It unfortunately rained so we didn't go and I was really disappointed. But this 4th of July Mom and Dad made plans with them so we could go and I was really excited. The dock was located near Opryland/Opry Mills. Apparently, the dock we were originally gonna use was for emergencies only and we didn't want to get in trouble. So, we went to another dock like 2 miles away where we parked the boat while we went nearby for dinner. Because it was close, we went to Shoneys, which is a family style buffet and I would like to thank the waitress (I don't remember her name) for working on a holiday. Then we played on the playground near the dock. The way we got the boat in is that we had to lower it down a steep ramp and it was hard. But then we were cruising and I saw the General Jackson riverboat go by us. It goes from Opryland to Downtown Nashville. The Cook's motorboat was awesome to cruise around in because it was so fast. When we got to the destination, which was downtown Nashville on the Cumberland River, we saw tons of boats already there anchored and waiting to see the fireworks too. Miss Laurie had a very hard time getting the anchor in the bottom of the river (the current was strong) so Drew helped her to do it. We had to wait 1 hour before the fireworks started but something interesting happened. Two guys stared to get in a fight because one of the boats accidentally unhooked the other's anchor. It was sorta like a road rage but in a river. But they signaled the water patrol and they fixed the anchor and the guys didn't actually fight. We saw the General Jackson Riverboat again and every boater went nuts honking and waving. Everyone was friendly and excited for the 4th. We could hear Chris Young sing (a little) from Downtown Nashville but we mostly heard the radio. The fireworks were gonna start but first there was a prologue (a man speaking about America). It started and I saw lots of cool shapes like blue sparks below the other fireworks, also some that looked like worms. I saw fireworks that came down on the water and at first I was creeped out but then I discovered it was safe and it looked cool (the boats had to be in a certain area away from the fireworks for safety) We heard it was the biggest fireworks show in the country! We were lucky to have friends who took us on this beautiful journey. I was a little nauseous/sea sick on the way back and we had to wait for Laurie to get the truck and there were a lot of boats waiting to dock too so Captain Cook (Job) and had to circle us around in the boat. I was getting tired. I saw one of the guys back at the dock from the almost fight earlier but he was the peaceful one.
That was literally the best 4th of July EVER! Here are some pics and videos. If you want to share what you did for the 4th tweet #WhatIDidOnThe4th in the comments. Thanks
