The Summer Vacation (Part 1)
Hey there loverlies,
I have returned from my vunderbar trip to the beach. But before I go into details about that, I have to say that I like the changes in livejournal, everything looks so cheery with their new color scheme and such.
Okay and now back to our show...
Friday night as planned, I went to a civil war dance at the Dock and afterwards Katie came home with me. We decided since it was already so late and we had to get up at 5 the next morning that we would rather just stay up the night til 5 AM and sleep in the car than have to go to sleep, get a few hours and wake up all tired and groggy and grumpy and whatever else comes with it when you get up early. So we did. Mauresa and Jeremiah, who had come up the night before and stayed the night at my grandmas along with my aunt and uncle and their two children, were already at the beach when we arrived around noon-ish. Katie and I decided to go look for them because we couldn't get into the beachhouse til 3:00 PM anyway. Without much success, we returned, finished unloading the car onto the back porch and changed into our bathing suits in the downstairs outside shower stalls. And once again we were off to the beach like a herd of turtles on a muddy track.. (as my mom would say).
Mauresa, Katie and I all shared one room in the beach house. Katie and I took claims on the two twin-sized beds and Mauresa made herself a make-shift bed out of cushions and blankets. (Now don't think that we were mean, she hadn't planned on coming until last minute and she was only staying 3 days). Jeremiah, on the otherhand, got the whole queen-sized bed next door to himself.
And here's the irony of it all, there were four bedrooms and all of them had their own bathroom. Every room with 1 bed in it had a bathroom with two sinks.. but the room with two beds in it only had one sink in the bathroom! What's that about??? Oh well. :) We were all very good sharers.
Most of Saturday and Sunday were spent at the beach and not until Monday, did we 4 kids decide to head on over to Barefoot Landing (a big outdoors shopping mall..basically). After walking around for a bit, we realized we couldn't do it much longer because it was so HOT and we were beginning to feel ill, so we left and let Jeremiah go race car driving on this track that he'd been begging us to let him do for the whole weekend. He got the lowest time we had seen there so of course he was very pleased. We decided then to go eat at Friendly's (I was at first against this idea, because every Friendly's I go to turns out to be an UnFriendly's). Thankfully, these people were actually friendly although the hostess was a little strange. The restaurant was practically empty and she's like "do you have a smoking preference?" and we said "Yes, non-smoking". She's like "hmmm" and stands there for a while as if she is thinking of a place she could possibly put us. Then finally says "ok..follow me" and leads us over to one of the many empty and available booths. lol Ayaya.
Well, I need to go but I will finish this story next time in "The Summer Vacation (Part 2)"! :)
Love you,
Brielle
