New York By LB
 * History**

=== New York is the eleventh state to join the union. It applied for statehood on July,26 1788. The state's nickname is "The Empire State". New York's state flower is a rose. The state motto is "Excelsior" which means ever upward. Lastly the state bird is a "bluebird". ===

New York is a very interesting state.The Dutch started building New Amsterdam which is currently New York City in 1664. In 1776, New York approved the Declaration Of Independence. Then in 1777, New York adopted its first Constitution. John Jay was credited for being the author of the Constitution. In 1789 George Washington was inagurated in New York city as the first president. George Washington was uncertain about his new position. A horrible thing happened in 2001, the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were destroyed and was the worst terrist attack in U.S. History.

I choose New York for my vacation for many reasons. One reason is that I wanted to take a tour in the Empire State Building. Another reason why I choose New York is to go shopping. I also want to see a Broadway show. Something else I want to do is go to Central Park Zoo to see all the animals. Lastly I want to visit Chinatownso I can eat lots of Chinese food.
