Just got back from Maine, and Just turned 14! woohoo! =D
I'll update about my trip
Sunday-Woke up at friggin 5am, ugggh..Evilness, The fam and Grandma got in the car, and we drove. We stopped and other crap, but that's too boring, I have to get to the good parts of the trip. We got there around 4 o clock and realized our hotel was a peice of shit. There wasn't even any water in their pool! So we unbooked our reservations and went to a much much nicer place down the road. After check-in, We went into the pool and jacuzzi.
Monday- We woke up pretty early and ate at the little buffet thing, Then we went to Acadia National Park. The view was really beautiful and you could see for a long way ahead. My dad took a bunch of pictures of the scenery. We walked around there and enjoyed the ocean view. For lunch we stopped at this really delicious gourmet place. The lobster soup was one of the best things I've ever tasted. Lobster-Definetly one of the best parts of Maine. After a day at the park, we went back to the hotel and in the pool again.
Tuesday- I'd say this was my favorite day of the trip. In the morning we woke up and went down to the dock for a whale watching trip. The captain took us wayy out into the ocean. We saw puffins, seals, and lots of differnt islands. We finally got out to where the whales were. We saw ten finback whales, and about three up real close. The whales didn't jump really far out, so we didn't get to see their whole bodies, but it was cool. After seeing the whales we went on an hour ride back to mainland. When we got back our family went to a couple awesome little shops and had lunch/dinner. Later on we got back to the hotel we once again headed into the hottub. First our whole family was there with another family, then the rest of my family left and I stayed there. Pretty soon, the whole family decided to leave except their son, Travis. So it was just me and him sitting in the bubbling hottub. We started talking for a while. We talked about all sorts of things until everyone else surounding the pool area left, and it got dark. When we ran out of things to say, he'd just sit there and smile at me until one of us thought of something else to say. After sitting in the hottub for a while, we got out and went into the pool. We started laughing and fooling around and we talked some more. He told me that he was 16 years old and could already drive, and I think, Here he is, with me, the world's biggest loser, who wasn't quite 14 yet.
Finally we got out of the pool, b/c we were soon to be kicked out, since it was getting too late. He walked back with me to the door of my hotel room and said he'd see me later. Well I did see him for a little bit the next day, but all he did was look at me, and that was the last I saw of him. I didn't even get his screen name. That was the end of the 16 year old boy from New York with the blue-green eyes....
Okay, I am obviously boring u to death by now, but if you choose to continue reading, I will tell u that I also was schooled in mini golfing by the rest of my family that night. Moving on to the next day..
Wednesday- Slept a little later b/c Papi and Brother woke up early and went fishing. My mom took me and grandmother shopping. we went to this funny store called Cool as a Moose. They had alot of stuff there, and it was a jolly good time. After we got back from shopping, We went to the oceanerium. We learned all this shizzle about lobster and then we got to touch all thes slimy sea animals. That was fun. Later we had my birthday dinner. I got a big lobster and my family sang me happy birthday in the restuarant.
ONCE AGAIN: TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY! we drove home from Maine and that's all I really did. Thanks people who wished me a happy b-day. If you didn't, u must redeem yourself.
Anyways, Swim meet against LP tomorrow, which we will win, CB! Then Band practice for the trumpet peeps. And Alice, u suck for canceling your party =P
