Random Trip Time!!
So Friday after school my mother randomly told us that we were taking a trip down to NJ to visit my older brother and his girlfriend at their new apartment (kinda new it is their first Christmas there and out of college so it counts). I had trouble deciding to go because the tree lighting ceremony was Saturday night, and I had a voice lesson in school Monday that I did not want to miss....but I had a chance to go to NYC and visit my older brother who I never get to see.
The ride down was long and...difficult. It was hard fitting everything in the tiny little car we have...we even manage to stuff a keyboard into the trunk. And then half way there we stopped to get a quick dinner...KFC....and if you were very wondering it is very hard to each KFC in a moving car filled with pillows, blankets, bags and other items. We listened to Christmas music the whole way down; changing the channels as the stations went out of range. It was nice singing along and playing games.
While my older brother, Casey, and my father went to the Giant and Packers game my mother, Lisa (Casey's girlfriend.....they should just get married already) my little brother and I all went to a never nice mall that was huge...instead of NYC. NYC is for a later date I suppose. All together we spent 1000 dollars at the mall while walking around, 500 on Xbox stuff for my little brother and my Christmas gifts. The fighting between us two was.....limited...kinda....better than normal...siiigh. So now all I really want for Christmas is some toe socks (I CALL THEM FINGER SOCKS.....all regular socks are toe socks to meee) and either a Kindle Fire or an iPad 2 I rather have the iPad 2 buttt if money is going to be an issue I will stick with the Kindle Fire. :) Then we ended up buying over a 100 dollars worth of some hell'a good tea. :D SOO GOOOD SOOOO GOOOD!!!! Anyway afterwards we hung out at a bar area in front of where we were going for dinner; a Restaurant/movie theater. We watched Jack and Jill while eating some yummy yummy food.
Afterwards when we got back to the apartment, I played a little Xbox while Lisa found out Casey and my father had taken the wrong train and she had to go pick them up. (My friend on the Xbox could hear through my turtle beaches and thought it was the funniest thing because Lisa sounded really upset.)
Everyone got back safely and spread out in the small little living room on couches and pulled out beds and air mattresses. It was a nice trip....and we head back in the morning.
Sorry Friends I will not be in school tomorrow...but I still love you guys.
So this random trip that was sprung on us was well worth the long trip. :)
