I'M COMING TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!


GUYS I'M COMING TO AMERICA!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh I'm am actually so excited I might pee my pants.. Ok thats weird but you lot have no idea how pumped I am for this trip! I should probably start from the beginning so you all can understand what on earth is going on :) 

If you hadn't noticed, I don't live in the USA. I live in a small country in the corner of the world called New Zealand. 


Ever since I discovered American Girl dolls I have loved the US. Everything from being so patriotic to listening to people with really weird accents. No offence! You should hear a kiwi's accent..Ew. so anyway! Over the years this passion for the states has grown into an obsession! I have so so so so wanted to go!! Just thinking about going brings tears to my eyes, that just explains how weird I am 
>.< Well, earlier this year my parents sprung it on me that in October we would, as a family go over to the USA FOR A HOLIDAY! I literally burst out crying, my dad has video proof. So we are coming over to celebrate my parents like something wedding anniversary and to visit their friends from childhood! (Something along those lines, i'm not totally sure but you get the gist!) 

Now here is where I need your guys help! If you live in the US along the east coast cos that's where we are going. What are some fun things/ cool touristy things that we should do? I am so excited to visit a Toys R Us and a target. You have no idea how big my shopping list is. I'm also so excited to visit my first American Girl Place! I may even be bringing a special someone home... I'm not gonna tell you guys, it's gonna be a SURPRISE!! Mwa ha ha ha I'm so evil :) 
I've been wanted to share this with you awesome people for so long but i decided to wait until closer to the time. And it's actually made the wait more exciting! So I'll fill you lot in on more details nearer to our leaving date! But for now, I'M COMING TO AMERICA!!!!! AHHHH I might cry again.. Oh no.
talk soon lovelies :-*

  2. If you are going to visit an AG Place you will be in New York or Florida. We just went to Florida and it's a small store. It was still a great time. I hear NY is like 4 floors. HUGE. At either of those there is a MuM store really close. That is a cool place to see. Especially if you love chocolate! If in NY central park zoo is really cool! Of course Statue of Liberty is a must do if in NY. Super excited for you!

    1. We are going to Florida so I think we'll be going to that AG store!! Exciting! I'm glad it's a small store, I'm very overwhelmed in large stores >.< I LOVE CHOCOLATE!!!! A MuM sounds so so so yummy! Thanks for the ideas :-)

  3. YAY YAY YAY I AM SO EXCITE FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. Sadly, I live in the Midwest, so I can't really help you with the tourist things. (However, I've been to the east coast a few times, and if you're popping through the DC area I recommend pretty much all of Washington, DC and maybe also colonial Williamsburg if you're into history stuff. The Statue of Liberty is also EPIC, and so is all of Boston. :) I hope you have fun!)

  4. Wow! That's so exciting! I live near the East Coast, but not on it. (I live in the deep south, where everyone is VERY southern. Not complaining, though, I get some great food around here. ☺) You probably won't come near to where I live. I'd google things to do in the town(s) you'll be staying in. There's always neat things to do in the states, from parks to museums to stores to restaurants, you name it! Hope you have fun!

    2. Oh, hey, I saw in some other comments you're going to Florida! Again, I'm not on the East Coast of it, but I have some experience in those areas. Orlando has some great places to go, if that's where you'll be. (I used to live near there!) Downtown Disney is a part of Disney World that's free to get into, and the stores there are great. (Especially the candy stores, I pig out when I get into one!) There's even a "hidden" store in Downtown Disney called "Marketplace Fun Finds" where cool Disney stuff is SUPER discounted. I've been to Tampa several times, too. They have a suuuuppperrr nice mall that I go to every year when I'm at state choir. There's a Disney Store there too, and they have GREAT clearance all the time. I got a Tsum Tsum for around two dollars once! Target just got new Our Generation stuff, so that'll be fun!! (Sorry if I'm overexcited, but I love telling people about fun stuff to do in my home state. XD)

  6. YAY IM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!
    But I live on the wrong coast, and haven't ever been to the other side of the country, so I have no fun ideas for you... Except TAKE PICTURES so we can see what goes on on the east coast.
    The US has lots of different accents too- New York has it's own accent, There's a southern accent, and a bunch more. They say that west coast people don't even have an accent. Idk. It all sounds like regular talking to me.

    1. I will take as many pictures as I can!! I hope I can bring my camera! Yeah for me kiwi's accent should sound normal but I'm actually English so I then have a different accent then everyone. Now it's just getting complicated :)

  7. Oh my gosh! Congratulations! I found it hilarious that you are so excited to go to a Target! LOL! I'm surprised they don't have Targets in New Zealand!:) I never even realize I have an accent, but to you I would and you would have one to me! I hope you have a fun time in the US!:D Congrats again!

  8. AWWW!! I am SO excited for you!!! I felt like I was about to get teary eyed when I was reading that LOL!
    I know you will have an absolute AMAZING time here in the USA and I'm looking forward to hearing all that you do! Seriously, Target, Toys R Us, the AG store, and Disney Store are my four favorite stores!!! You'll LOVE them! I know you didn't say you would go to a Disney store, but I had to include it since it is one of my faves LOL!
    Have a wonderful time!! I can't wait to find out what doll you'll get! :D

  9. Oh, wow!!!! I am so excited for you!!!! I'm a little late (I haven't checked your blog in a while) but if you're still in the US I hope you're having fun... and if not then I hope you did have fun. ;)
    As for suggestions, pretty much everything the others said. You have to check out the Disney store..…..it's like Disney heaven! And Target is a really awesome fun store too. :)
    So excited to hear about everything!!! :D
