Donna Best went to New Jersey, Philadelpia, New York and Massachusetts during her 3 week vacation. She drove to Philadelpia and Massachusetts and rode a bus to New York.

First, Donna went to New Jersey to visit her parents and friends. On New Year's Eve she went to "First Night Red Bank." She said it's like a carnival.

While she was in New Jersey there was a big snow storm which they called "The Blizzard of '96." It was the biggest snow storm since 1947. The government had to close the state down. People couldn't drive around in the storm. All the big grocery stores ran out of bread, eggs, and milk. Three days after the storm she had to dig out her car.

Then Donna went to Philadelpia for a Mystery Theater dinner with her friends.

After that she went to New York by bus because there was too much traffic to drive and also because parking her car would cost about 10 or 15 dollars. She also went to New York to watch a play on Broadway called "How to Succeed in Business." John Stamos from Full House was the star in the play.

On her last trip she went to Massachusetts to visit her brother, John Best, and his family.
