Let's see.
So, I've got a bit to talk about.
When last I left you it was the first day of my vacation, now I'm back home. Let's start with the second day. Went to the Minnesota Zoo, saw bears and other sexy animals. My family and I decided to go on the monorail to see everything at which point we noticed that the sky was getting rather dark and we realized that we had left the windows in the car down. No problem, we'll just get back really quickly and everything will be fine. Not so easy. The whole sky turned into a fucking waterfall. I had never seen a storm like this in my entire life, it was absurd. It was so bad that they had all of the guests taken into the basement of the main hall. We weren't there for very long but it was long enough to keep the entire inside of the car wet for the next 4 days. We ate Taco Bell and chilled for the rest of the night. The next morning we left for North Dakota. About a 6 hour drive and we got to our hotel, "The Wagon Wheel." $50 a night, you know the saying "you get what you pay for?" Totally true. My sister and I were happy with our room, it smelled like smoke but other than that it was okay, not too clean but not awful. My parents had to switch rooms THREE times. The first room had something like blood or shit on the floor and the bed sheets hadn't been changed (we know because there was hair and stains on the sheets when they checked). The next room they checked smelled awful and was also unacceptable. My parents were rather flustered and wanted to go to a different hotel, however, my sister and I bothered them not to make a big deal about it because we were happy enough with our room, so finally they got a third room which was not too clean but good enough. So my Mom and Dad told the front desk to just have someone run new sheets up to their room and leave some cleaning products and they would clean the room themselves because the room attendant was a horribly skeevy meth addict. I saw him, hard core meth head. Eventually we got to the wedding rehearsal, which was pretty cool cause I got to meet my cousins highschool and college friends. They were all pretty chill. After that we ate and partied for a while. (I'll tell you about the party later.) The next day was the wedding, lots of fun. I read something from the bible in a diesel voice and everyone was happy. My cousin's wife is a total space. If I didn't know better I'd think she was one of the biggest stoners in the world. The food and the wine at the reception kinda sucked but I'm not gonna hold it against them because they don't have any money. I drank like 6 or 7 beers and danced for a bit, them my family decided to see who could push large hay wheels the farthest. My team lost. We went back to the hotel and played cards and drinking games for a while and then went to bed. Next morning we got up, had breakfast with new extended family members and took off for South Dakota. The drive was about 4 or 5 hours and we saw some absurd shit. Bad lands are crazy and we saw a straight up cow boy town called Madora. Finally we got to Rapid City and it was great. The hotel room was amazing (you'll see pictures) and the pool was much better than the first hotel's pool. There was also a hot tub and a steam room. I used them both frequently. We went to a vintage 50's diner called Arnold's, which was fantastic, and then passed out. (the bed was more comfortable than mine) The next day we went to Mt. Rushmore, which was pretty damn cool. (you'll see pictures of that, too) Then we went to Crazy Horse, which wasn't as cool but will be much cooler in around 60 years. (I'll explain later if you really care) After that we drove to Deadwood, which was amazing! I gambled at the spot where Wild Bill Hickok was killed and even saw a shoot out. (A staged one.... Shhh.... The town is pretty much made for tourists.) After that we drove around for a while and went back to the hotel and passed out. The next morning we headed back to Minneapolis, a drive that took about 8 hours. When we got back we hit The Water Park of America immediately. I went on all the huge slides, did this makeshift surfing thing they had and flirted with hot lifeguard named Tasha for a while. The next morning we headed off to The Mall of America again. I bought an original playstation video game and a couple more gifts and then we headed back to the airport. We got everything going pretty smoothly and the first part of the flight went quickly. I continued reading House of Leaves over the next six an a half hours. After the flight landed we were delayed for two hours because of a thunder storm, which really freaked my sister an I out because we had bought tickets to see The Dark Knight at 12:01 AM on "Thursday, July 17'th." Funny story, Fandango sucks because they really mean the 18'th. After stressing for a while my sister and I managed to make it to the Courtland theater with 15 minutes to spare only to find out that the shit was tomorrow. Whatever. Anyway, that's it, that was my vacation. Eight days, 4 hotels, tones of crazy shit. I should be online again starting tomorrow.
Peace out kids.
