I'm back from another exhausting trip...
Well, I just got back from a two week marathon of a trip. Let me explain in a little more detail.
Our first destination was Ocean City, NJ, where we would gather together with my mother's side of the family for five days of surfing the waves, walking the boards, and throwing the frisbee.
: ) That was an exhilarating week. Very fun.
From there we went on to my Grandmother's house, where we were to put up a fence and clean out an attic. These things we did, and in the process gained: (1), An authentic Korean War army suit, (2), A pair of scuba diving flippers, (3), two baseballs, and, (4), a box of sports equipment, as well as some old army men, and an army blanket. After spending five days there, we set off on Thursday afternoon to travel to Baltimore, where we would spend one night with some friends of ours there.
We arrived in Baltimore after a short four-hour drive, and almost immediately headed out to a pool/basketball/volleyball sports complex, (outdoors) and spent about an hour-and-a-half there. Then we traveled back to the house, and sat down to a wonderful dinner of green beans, chicken, garlic bread, and salad. Then we went bowling. (Not to be boastful, but on my first ever bowl I got a strike. On the next I got a spare, and then a another strike. However, my efforts weren't enough to get me farther than third place). Then we went to Blockbuster and rented a movie, National Treasure, and finished that up at about 12:00. From there we played Golden Eye(James Bond) on their Gamecube until 3:00 AM, after which we hit the sack. I slept till 11:00. Then we went on a quick tour of the Baltimore harbor, which was really cool. Then we all piled into the car. We were to go on to Delaware, where we would attend our cousin's wedding. Too much to write, and not enough time. I'll write about the wedding later.
