so this is my boring life♥
i'll tell you about my time in kentucky.
we drove for about 12 hours to kentucky, (an extra 2 because of weather and extra stops etc..) then got to a little crap town that i would like to say where my roots are from. Benham and Cumberland are mini cities and therefore they are within minutes of eachother.
the place we stayed at was my grandpa's old school, when he was in kindergarten through highschool. it was said to be haunted (but i'll explain that later)
so my mom's whole side of the family went, which was 2 uncles, 2 aunts, 2 grandparents, 6 cousins, my brother and I, and parental units. we met up with my grandpas sister[bobby], and her granddaughter [jesse], jesse is my age, but total southern girl, everything about her aha♥
the next day on thursday it was thanksgiving so we had dinner at the school/hotel, then went up the mountains to look at the awesome view. we only got cell phone service up there because we werent in a valley. so i guess bears lived up there and were seen at dusk and night, i wasnt freaking out, but it wasnt something that was comforting me!
after that we went to the graveyards to see my great grandpas (and other relatives) graves. then we went to the coal mines, it was pretty cool, cause it went into the mountains and it was pretty much abandoned.
the next day was friday and we went up a huge mountain, and after like 30 min we were in virginia! it was shwank. then after that we spent the rest of time with the family.
on saturday we left Benham, and went to somewhere else in kentucky. i dont remember the name, but that's where my grandmas sister lived. we actually stayed in a hotel, i missed those comfy beds and real showers with water pressure unlike the one at benham inn.
the next day was sunday so we left super early to go home.
[haunted story, a kid died from falling from the bleachers at the hotel in Benham, and another little girl died in the pool. so at night you could hear marbles going across the floor (they used to play with marbles) and my aunt swears that someone was trying to pull her hair while she was awake one night, and my uncle got up and said something white was in her hair :-O! at night you could hear things slamming or things falling down]
if you're still reading this im very proud of you, and i love you!:-*
that's the end of my boring trip, blah:)
you're special to me.
