Knowing how to take the train on my own

Image
One of the reasons I have learned to like taking the train from Maplewood to NY Penn is because my dad works in NY and he takes the train into NY Penn Station every day. I have become very independent with trains. I know how to take the train to certain places on my own. I take the trains in New Jersey as well as New York. I take the train to NY Penn Station to see Broadway shows. I've also  taken the train to Chatham, NJ because one of my friends lives there. I enjoy taking the train very much because I don't have to deal with traffic and I don't have to rely on other people for a ride. I also like taking the train because it gives me confidence when I take the train to a lot of cool places. I know I can do it on my own. I know that sometimes the trains get cancelled or delayed and I don't like that. But usually they're on time.  What is your experience with taking the train? Leave a comment below.

  This past Monday, I saw a movie called It Ends with Us in South Orange, New Jersey. It was based off the book of the same name by Colleen Hoover. I liked the movie.  It was about a woman named Lily Bloom who dreams of opening her flower shop in Boston, Massachusetts. She returns to her hometown in Maine to give a eulogy for her father's funeral. She walks out in the middle of it. He had been abusive to her mother. Later on, Lily meets Ryle who is a neurosurgeon.

One night Lily, her mom and Ryle go out to dinner where they see Lily's childhood sweetheart, Atlas working as a waiter. Ryle got jealous and got violent with Atlas. Atlas warns Lily to get out and escape. Eventually, Ryle and Lily get married and have a daughter. After their daughter was born, Ryle continues to be abusive to Lily. Lily asks Ryle for a di

My vacation to Long Beach Island, New Jersey

I was in Long Beach Island, New Jersey for one week. I was there July 20 through the 27. Long Beach Island is a skinny part of the NJ shore. You have to get there by car and you have to cross a bridge to get there. LBI was crowded but some parts were not as crowded.  Here are some things that I did during my vacation. I went to the beach mostly and I went swimming in the ocean. The ocean was cold but the water warmed up later in the week. I collected seashells and I walked on the beach. Me, my mom and my dog Harley went to Sunset Park in Harvey Cedars, NJ and we saw some beautiful sunsets. On Wednesday night we went out to dinner at a restaurant called The Black whale. It is in Beach Haven, NJ. The food is really good! I had some lobster and I enjoyed it very much. I had mussels, calamari and clams as well. Me and my mom went to Viking Village to do some shopping and I went to Fantasy Island with my dad. Fantasy Island is a really fun amusement park in Beach Haven, NJ. I h
