Emmanuel's Visit Day 4: Summer

Today we all woke up at different times.  Emmanuel, my mom, my dad, and I would be departing for NYC tomorrow.  I wanted to take Emmanuel to New York, because my older sister Ashley lives there and, also I wanted him to see the Broadway musical "Wicked".  Today we had to pack.  I hated packing, but Emmanuel made it more fun.  He kept talking the whole time so the time just flew by.  We were packing all day it wasn't so hard for Emmanuel, because he just packed all his stuff.  He would be leaving back to Ghana directly from New York.  I was sad about him leaving, but it wasn't too bad, because he would be coming back in the winter time for Christmas.  I decided to bring mostly shorts and T-shirts, because I had gone to NY the summer before and it was like 90-100 degrees everyday.  When we finished packing we double checked everything that we were supposed to have and then ate lunch.  When we were done we did our dishes and then walked my dogs around my neighborhood.  They would be staying with my dads friend from work Joyce.  After our walk it was time for us to take the dogs to my dads friends house so we got together all the stuff they would need and then put them in the car and drove out to Goleta where Joyce lived.  I said goodbye to them, so did Emmanuel and then we left.  Finally we drove home and got my mom, because we were going out to eat at The Natural Cafe.  I loved it there, I always got a veggie burger.  Emmanuel got the same thing as me and he also loved it.  When we were done we payed and went home to get a good night sleep.  We got home and went to bed right away even though it was only like eight, we had to get up super early to catch our flight.
