I can't sleep
So I might as well blog? Why not!
THANK YOU KYLE AND ALISON FOR BEING THE BEST FRIENDS EVAR AND PICKING US UP FROM THE AIRPORT AT 2 AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
seriously, you guys are awesome and I owe you both dinner.
The trip to CT was really nice. The flight there was infinitely better than the return, but nevertheless -- Uncle Bobby picked us up for a nice, mostly sober drive to grandma's, and she was very surprised indeed! Which, let's face it, is one of my most favorite things. Tuesday was her birthday, so we got lunch with Aunt Dorothy and then were joined by !!Tyler!! (omg) for some pool pwnage and dinner. Wednesday we were visited by the aunts of both sides, and more pool playing occurred as well as monopoly (grandma kicked our asses.) And today (or I guess, yesterday) was extra exciting, as Micaela came down from Boston to visit us! She took the train in, and we hung out for a while, and then Uncle Kenny drove us to LaGuardia where we hung out some more. It was storming in New York so our flight was delayed by an hour and a half, which was ok because it gave us more caelatime. Eventually we boarded, and she headed back to the train station (she didn't get home until 5am tho... =/) Our flight was long and uncomfortable, and when we finally landed, we just sat on the tarmack for about 30 mins b/c we apparently didn't have an allocated gate. many people were getting audibly upset, including us. largely because it was late, and the seats were uncomfortable, and my back was KILLING me, despite Brian's amazing backrubs. still sore ... =( BUT! it all improved once we got to baggage claim to find that Alison's royal "we" was actually a plural one! Hurray for Alison and Kyle!!! We got home around 3am, and i've been lying awake ever since. wheee.
highlights of the trip:
my grandma's face when we arrived
elusive snapping turtle
BABY GEESE!!!!
improving my pool game
Tyler, just move back home, for reelz, I forgot how much fun you are
Twilight Zone
bonding with Uncle Bobby
Brian getting along with everyone in my family, especially Uncle Ken(!)
long talks with Micaela
MORE BABY GEESE!!!!!
winning a game of Stratego, finally
plain milk chocolate Nestle bars
awesome friends to drive us home
tonight we're going to see Man Man in Athens, which I hear tell will be quite the experience. before then, i plan to actually get some sleep. hopefully. i'm gonna start working on that. <3
