USA Travelers

Last Tuesday night (the 14th) M, m, and Branae (m's little sister) headed to Las Vegas at 8 PM to catch the 11:20 plane to Atlanta, got on another plane there, and landed in Norfolk, Virginia. We were greeted at the airport by M's Mom and little brother, Kameron. We hung out at their house for the day just visiting with the family, and about 3:30, we headed to Richmond to visit, m's Uncle Bruce. We had a hard time finding his house, and under estimated the time it took to get there, but we finally made it. We visited with him for a couple of hours and then headed back to Chesapeake. That night we crashed and slept very well.



Thursday we got up and headed to New York City. It took about 8 hours to get to Walter's Aunt Mary's house. When we got there, Walter ordered us pizza, because apparently, it's better in New York, but to m, it tasted the same. Aunt Mary (AKA the Queen) is hilarious. She is such a sweet lady, but pretends to not be. We visited with her and Joe, her husband, and played spoons. Mary made fun of that game. She said she knew we came from the country because all we could find to play with was spoons... Anyway, we had a lot of fun playing that, and went to bed.



Friday we woke up and got ready. M broke the shower head, and Aunt Mary only has 1 shower, yes 1. There were 11 of us in the house. Fun huh?! We went to NYC by way of train! It went under water, which was amazing to me. We rode the Staten Island Ferry over to,.. you guessed it, Staten Island. We rode it just so we could ride past the Statue of Liberty. It was 20 dollars to ride a boat to get on the same island as the statue, but the ferry was free, so we chose the cheap way. Then we walked around Battery Park. That had the nastiest bathroom we ever saw. We saw the torch and some ball from the Twin towers, walked over to the twin towers, Wall Street, one Catholic church, and rode the subway.



Saturday we rode the train back into NYC and went to the six story, block long, Macy's store, Conway's clothing store, another Catholic cathedral, They were having a WEDDING while people were touring the church, and the church had a gift shop. WEIRD!! We went to Build a Bear, the NBA store, NBC studios, Central Park, and to the top of the Empire State Building.



Sunday we traveled back to Chesapeake.



Monday we went to Virginia Beach... As soon as we stepped on the beach, it started pouring! Like seriously, it was like instantaneous. UGH! We didn't even get to play on the beach for too long. We stayed up talking and stuff with the family until 2 am. We had to wake up at 4 am in order to catch our plane. Yeah, I know, not smart, but it was worth it. The flight home was SO long, but we made it in one piece.



Sorry, this post is really lame, but I'm tired and don't want to be doing this. Maybe I'll post some more stories later, like how this gay guy (yes, we know for a fact he was gay) was checking out Marcus, or "anybody got a quarter?" Here is a slide show of pictures, and no, no comments. Maybe later.

Well, I was going to put pictures, but it won't let me... I'll figure it out and get them on here sometime.
