NYC

Okay, so I forgot about this for a bit, but I'll do my best to remember.


Wow. The car ride.
We went with my cousins and aunt.
I don't know what they'd think about having the're names posted on the Internet, so I'll call them Mad, Em, and Kay.
We pretty much only had books and game boys and notepad that we played hangman and tick tack toe in. (I like stairing out the window, imagining an epic battle between griffons and dragons, but every minute my cousins would say 'what do you want to do now?' So it distracted me. Apparently my cousins don't like epic battles so much.)
Yeah, so 5 hours of barely anything fun to do gets boring. After a long while. Or a shortish while. A while. Eh. No time at all.
But hey. I beat my cousins at the compitition we were having with the gameboy, whoopie.

OH, Sample was there too, so it made it all the more interesting. (not)

So we got there, theeennnn weee had fun. (sorta)
We had to take Sample for a walk then leave her in the car, she would NOT have liked walking down a busy street with a bunch of noise and sound.(not at all)
We walked to (Dare I say it?) Starbucks. Dawwwnns idea.
Then we walked.

I think I'll skip the boring stuff...or breaf it.
We want to Fridays, had horrible serveice and Dawn and Kay got mad and complained but nothing really happened. (Oh yeah, and the menue was horrible, there was almost nothing without meat and only 2 things without dairy or eggs, salad and french fries*....)
Then we wnt all around (Including to the giant ToysRus place where Dawn begggeeedd the staff to buy the shirts seperite from the stuffed animals to put on her gremmy** .....And of course. They refused.)
And Dawn put Gremmy in weird places and I took photos of him. (I can't post them on here, because I left my camera in Kays car., but I'm gonna make a Flicker account*** and I'll post them on there.

The next day we went all around, we went to dyllons candy store, and FAO.
We went to a bunch of other places too.
That night we went to the wirling derbishis, it wasn't named correctly(I don't think), I just want to get on to my other adventures (I'm sorta piling up) soI'm just gonna do the interesting parts, and of that there is no more.






*Besides the drinks.Yumm. They had Pineapplehaven(well it might've been called something else, but it had pineapple is it, so heaven, right?)

**Gremlin, seen the movie? Got a picture? Not seen the movie? Don't got a picture? Good.

***I have to anyways for mexico.

Ithica

Yes, so with a 7 (on the Enneagram) as a mother you go on all different kinds of crazy random adventures. So here goes.

We went to Ithaca, what kind of adventure is that you ask? Ohhhhhooo.

It started out normal enough. The drive was excruciatingly long. Times ten.
And yes, it was only an hour and an half......
We were planning to walk along the trails, see some familiar sights. Right? Simple enough. And then who should show up but mister rain*
So who would be crazy enough to walk through poring rain, with lightning and thunder striking very close together. Or, Maybe, at the same time.
I would, apparently.
Andy's like 'Lets shelter under this tree till it stops'
Dawn Says " Lets go back to the car'

I laugh at them and say 'It's only a little rain'**
Yeah, so who would listen to a crazy little kid?
Andy.
Soooo

Dawn went back to the car and Andy and I keep going, the ONLY people going the way of the path, not coming back.
Andy Got the awesome Idea of walking of the creek bed. To bad there was lightning right there. No, neither Andy nor I got struck. But we did decide to save creek walking until the storm passed. Or, at least, Lightened up.
Once it did, we walked along the creek, there were really cool rocks that people built cool patterns with (After seeing the waterfall Andy and I went back and built some)
The waterfall was amazing! It was just water, pouring down a fifty foot drop, maybe more, the sign said how tall it was but I don't think I can remember it. Andy said that in the winter an ice dome forms at the bottom of the waterfall, and he said we could go sometime in the winter (though with our luck it'll be in the middle of a blizzard)
Then we went back to the rocks and we both made a sculptor (Andy had to peel a little fun away from the experience by saying how much all the little rock pilings looked like tome stones.***)
And of course. What's an outing on a creek bed without looking for fossils?
I found something that I was highly sure was one, but I left it in dawns car because when we got back it was really late and the sensible part of my brain had gone to sleep.****
I took a picture of it, but it didn't really come out... Actually none of the pictures came out, since it was poring so hard (and we gave the camera to Dawn to take back to the car when she went, so when the rain stopped we had no camera.*****
Nothing much more happened at the creek, except we found some dynamite markings.
When we got back I was DRENCHED. ******

So thats the adventure portion of Ithaca, we also ran into some people we knew, and they showed us this little utopia place, but that doesn't involve more then 3 near death experiences, so I'll leave it out.
However, I do want to say, Ithaca is the best place for vegan food, the restaurant we went to had like everything in a vegan restaurant, right down to the mayonnaise.


*No... Mister Rain is not a person.....

**Little, meaning the description of big in the dictionary.

*** You'll find he's a bit morbid sometimes.

****Once something is in dawns car it never comes out
(Sorry to ruin the little thrill of terror, but the never coming out of the car thing doesn't apply to people. I am, indeed, out of the car.)

***** I couldn't upload the pictures onto here anyways, since my computer crashed a few days ago, so I'm using Dawns and she wont be to happy if random pictures appear on the computer.

******On the extreme end of that.
