Florida & Texas [Vacation Break] July 4th-July 13th, 2008
I won’t make this long. my family got on the plane and it was an amazing view from above the clouds and the sun was extremely bright of course. so then, the plane descended down, then stopped, down, then stopped, a few times. it was a sudden rush of queasy-ness and I wanted to purge out my system indefinitely, but after the 2nd or 3rd time, it just felt like such a thrill. after we landed in Atlanta, Georgia, we went to the next plane, that would land in Pensacola, Florida. It is July 4th and when we landed, we were greeted by Uncle Ben’s family. we saw Aryhanna, my youngest cousin, and she was more adorable than ever! she was pretty, like her mom, and absolutely cute and huggable!! haha. we all went to Grandparents house and later, we all said hi to each other, we went to the beach with krawfish and it was fun. the scenery was really nice. we took tons of pictures of Aryhanna. after that, we went to go see fireworks for the 4th of July. i took pictures and recorded a couple of videos. the fireworks, with a camera, doesn't really come out like pictures. i tried taking firework pictures, but as the sparkles came down, it left streaks and well, it looked nice, but nothing like fireworks.
the next day, one relatives' family left for home, Texas. so, my family and the last 2 relatives' families, we all went to 3 Sam's Fun City; Water Park, next to a theater. i remember going there for the first time a few years ago, and it was a blast, except this summer...WE WENT ON BOTH THE DROP WATER SLIDES!! IT WAS AWESOME!! the pink one was the one that hurt the most, but the purple on, actually left me flipping forwards in the water, and scraping my left knee. i was proud of my mom that day too. she's only been in the water twice in her life really. it was because of a family incident. i never actually met my first grandfather on my mother's side; but i have seen pictures of when he was young with my grandmother, a very nice couple they are. my mom is scared of water, but that day, she went on 2 slides, one by herself, and the other with her sister-in-law, my aunt. she said she was scared and had loads of fun and that she screamed and closed her eyes while going down; the people below starred at her like she was crazy. hahaha, i love my mom, she's so funny. the other time was when we went on our cruise to Cancun and Key West.
after that, our 2nd to last relative family went home, to South Carolina. so for the rest of the week, starting Wednesday, we went to Texas. the family that went home there, lived in New Orleans, until the big accident occurred.
so, our 8 hours driving to Texas, i was deprived of taking pictures of "nonsense" things. i only wanted to take pictures of clouds...it's just really soothing taking them and being able to keep them as glorious for who-knows how long; and know that i got to see such a sight, while others might have glanced by or rather another.
NOW, we reach Texas and rejoice. i talk with Johnny and he grew more! GEEZE!! so yea, we all eat krawfish and crabs and corn on the cob that night. the rest of the week, we rented 2 movies: Bone Eater [stupid movie] and the Spiderwick Chronicles [good], ate McDonald's one night. we also went to Hong Kong Market, ate at a buffet, set solely on Vietnamese food [personally, i'm tired of buffets], and i bought a few presents for my friends [SH!], and lastly, i tried playing this zombie game thing. frankly, i'm no good at it at all!!
well, we went home and it rained a lot, i saw nifty clouds and it rained and we laughed tons for the next 8 hours, we sang to the tunes and chatted all the way home. next thing you know, we had to go back to Maryland.
oh, we had a stray dog with us, don't worry, i didn't touch it, just made sure it got fed, it was really skinny. we took MANY pictures...it was far more fun than i had anticipated.
i had ASSUMED extreme boredom and home-sickness...but i guess i just totally made an a** out of myself instead. hey, i don't mind, i love my family to death.
[a**|U|ME] = making an a** out of YOU and ME [a** / U / ME] HAHAHA! LOLOLOL!
