another boring day in boston. no offense, but i totally hate vacation because i'm with my family and they are dirty and weird and i have to share a bed with my mom which is better than with my bro but still it's a small bed and i don' like touchin my family....it's weird. i also don't like touching girls, and very few boys. but i won't go there again. today....had some clam chowder for the third time in two days...it ROCKS!!!!! we saw the vanderbutin? house. it is HUGE!!!! i think it's actually the vanderbilt house, but it doesn't make it smaller, it's amazingly huge and omgosh!!! WHAT THE CHEESE!!!! that's my house, there are like...more than seventy rooms, the rooms are twice as high as normal rooms, everyone has their own bathroom and sometimes their own changing room. there are three floors, and the property is 13 acres large. the house is more than 100,000 sq. ft. in area holy crap. one of the ceilings has a painting that was created in france or italy, transported to new york on a steam enging the size of the titanic and assembled by a guy in new york for the house in Rhode Island. it's crazy huge. there is a room that is made ENTIRELY out of marble and prescious stones or metals. the floor is marble mosaic, the walls are two pieces cut from the same block of marble so the block must have been FREAKING huge. there are three stories, the butlers PANTRY is TWO stories, and the kitchen is huge. the great hall on the bottom floor is bigger than most of our houses, there was an entire room dedicated to holding their silver, there were somewhere around 30 GUEST ROOMS and every single room had marble something in it. it was designed to look like 18th century architecture and alot of it was imported from out of the country. in a couple rooms there were slabs of stones worked into the walls from africa and all over europe. it was soooo freaking crazy and that is the house that i'm going to have. if you are ever in the area, you should definitely check itout because i definitely thought it was going to suck and now i'm totally going to try and model my house after it. the history of the people might not be interesting, but after the first few rooms the house sucks you into the ornate architecture and the amazing craftsman ship and the fact that it's not wood and concrete, it's STONES and it's sooo smooth. and you will NEVER guess how long they spent each year in it. this was actually their home away from home and their actual home was somewhere around 150+ rooms. they spent 6-8 WEEKS in this house EACH YEAR!!!! tht's like..2 MONTHS!!!!! i could spend my life in that house and never leave it! and they only spent 6-8 weeks a YEAR in it!!! ahh. ok, well thats all. one more quote though....
