ROADTRIP!!!!

ROADTRIP!!!!!


Hello, My Friends!


Alright! So for the next 10 days I will hopefully be making a new post everyday. Why you may ask? BECAUSE MY FAMILY'S GOING ON A ROADTRIP ACROSS THE STATES!!!!!


That's right! We start in my home town in New Brunswick, then make our way through to Boston for 3 days, Washington just for a night, then our main stop Florida (Disney!!!), and we continue on to Myrtle Beach, and make one last stop on New York City.


Now to be honest, we actually started our trip yesterday. So allow me to fill you in.


My two sisters, my step-brother, my step-dad, my mom and I, all hopped into our van around 5:00 a.m. We began our super long car ride to Boston, after hours of fighting, sleeping, eating, singing, and readings, we actually arrived there at 3:45 p.m.


Our hotel is amazing! We're staying and the Hampton Inn on the outskirts of Boston, and it is beautiful. They have a pool and hot tub, a gym,  and awesome free breakfast, beautiful furniture, and so much more. Not mention the fact that the staff are amazing and really friendly. I absolutely love it here. Yet again if you stick anywhere with a pool, free wifi, and free food, you'll have my heart in your hands! 

 

After settling into the hotel, we decided to head out for supper....At the original Wahlburgers restaurant!! This foodie hot spot, is a definite must see if you are in Boston. It is so awesome! The atmosphere itself is spectacular. And the food, oh my gosh, it is sooooooooo good! I'm telling you their burgers are moan worthy! I still can't believe how good it was. This restaurant definitely lives up to it's reputation.

Now, what do you do after you eat a wonderful, filling, meal? Why walk around and do a little shopping of course. We walked around the beautiful town of Quincy and stopped to multiple stores. Bed, Bath and Beyond, Trader Joe's, and Marshalls. Now understand I've never been to any of these stores, with the exception of Marshalls. To say I was impressed was an understatement. Bed, Bath and Beyond, not only looks beautiful but the stuff inside it is amazing! If you're starting to move out on your own, I would definitely recommend going there. There's also Trader Joe's. They bring a whole new definition to grocery shopping! They've got all kinds of different foods. There's Cookie Butter, Shrimp Nuggets, and lots and lots of other stuff. Now I didn't really do much at Marshalls. But it's the only place I actually bought something at. I got a brand new bathing suit, that I absolutely love! So thank you Marshall where ever you are.

The day ended with a nice swim at the hotel, and quick relaxing shower. We all headed to bed and got ready for tomorrow. A day reserved for shopping.

Until then,

A Holly Jolly Return


Hello My Sweeties!


I am glad to announce that I have returned from my long, long break. This time for, hopefully, good. And what better timing? With the holidays coming just around the corner, I'll have more time on my hands then ever! YAY!!


Speaking of the holidays, who's excited for Christmas? I AM!!!!! You may not know this, but Christmas just happens to be my FAVOURTE holiday...like ever. I mean come on?! How can you hate it? There's snow, family, friends, food, laughing, embarrassing pictures from your childhood, and, oh yes, the egg nog. Christmas is the one time of the year where we all get together and get know each other all over again. Not mention relive all those wonderful, old memories with those you love. Yup! Christmas has be one of the most cheerful times of the year.




But as much as I love it, it does have it's cons. And I'm not talking about holiday bellies. I'm talking about the big S.C., Mr. HO HO HO. That's right. I'm talking about Santa Clause. Now you're probably thinking, "But who could hate Santa?!?" Calm down, dudes! I never said I hated the fellow, I'm just saying that he distracts from the big picture of Christmas! People get so caught up in making the best light show, and giving the best gift, and cooking the best meal, that they forget about their families. It can make anyone throw their hands in the air and yell "BAH HUM BUG!"


Of course we don't mean to be so forgetful, and competitive, but as time goes, it get's harder and harder to fight the temptation. Our generation is becoming one of greed, gluttony and pride. We're so caught up in the fancy lights, and huge presents, that we forget the true meaning of Christmas. We forget that Christmas isn't about the gifts or turkeys, or red and green lights, or a man in a red and white suit with some serious weight issues! It's about giving to others, not because you want them to give you something back, or because you have to, but because you want to. It's about making some one smile, or laugh just to make them happy. It's about helping out those in who have less then you. That's the true spirit of Christmas.


So this holiday season, I challenge all of you to do something good for someone in your community. Whether it's shoveling some ones drive way for free, or giving a goodie basket to your neighbour, or singing Christmas carols to the seniors at the local nursing home. Do something that makes someone smile. I think you'll find that you'll feel twice as good as when you entered! Now go, my little elves! Spread joy!


Merry Christmas to all! And to all a good night!....Or something like that :)

Road Trip! :)

Hello People!


So today the girls in my family decided to go on a road trip. Not a very long one, but long enough. Where to you may ask? Well the answer is simple. Halifax, Nova Scotia.


If you've never been on a road trip before you believe that the drive there is fun, quiet, relaxing, and beautifully. Or maybe you have been on one and still think those thoughts. Well you've never gone on one with my family.


 You see we're kind of mixture of psychos all put into one house. Here's a little intro. My mother: Tells you not to do something, goes and does it her self, also hangs out her laundry in the rain. My step-father: Can go from acting like the biggest and loudest jerk you've ever seen, to a super annoying 5 year old with in seconds. My twin: She adores boy bands. I'm talking about '5 Seconds Of Summer', 'One Direction', 'The Cab', etc. Her go to topic is them, and if she's reading it's probably a fan fiction. My brother: Is always doing something loud. Whether it's shouting, playing guitar, playing video games, or even building a bicycle! He's always on the go. My middle sister: She's got the sass and the fire of, well, Satan. You get her angry, she breaks something. But if she wants something she's all over you. Then there's my older sister. I'm pretty sure she's the only sane one in bunch. How she's put up with us all these years, I don't know. But she did it somehow! I think I've always looked up to her for that.


Anyways, back to the story. It started at 1:00 p.m. Now that's a pretty decent time to leave, if we actually left at that time. Both my twin and I got the same idea to pack last minute. Let me tell you, it's a horrible idea. Don't do it! So by the time we actually got the dog to stop trying to sneak his way into the car over and over again, we finally left. The moment the car started Twinie (the name I'm calling my twin) decided to show us that she brought all of her CD's. "Since it's a long drive we'll be able to listen to all of them!" Let me tell you, she was not lying. Not for one second was there a moment of silence. For me this was terrible. Not because it was bad music or anything. Don't get me wrong, I actually like '5 Seconds Of Summer' and 'Ed Sheeran' (especially Ed Sheeran) and even 'One Direction' But listening to them none stop, for hours, when you're running on 8 hours of sleep, is just nauseating.


So I try to block them out. I read some Avenger fan fictions on Wattpad, text my friends, eat some junk food. And it actually worked for a while...Then my mom decided to bother me. Since I was riding shotgun, I got the be her, and I quote, 'secretary'. She was supposed to get a conference call, through blue tooth, later on and since she was driving she couldn't write notes, so I had to do that. And just to let you know, I don't have the neatest penmanship. And if that wasn't made enough, I was also her personal GPS. Meaning she hands me a map, with directions written in the margin. And I read her them at the right time, or she yells at me and we get lost. FUN!!


But I must say, it was all worth it. Those few minutes when I was not busy with my mom, and blocking out Twinie, I could look out the window and see some of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen. And even when we reached Halifax and was down town, the city itself look amazing. To say I was impressed when we reached our hotel, Coastal Inn, is an understatement. Two Queen size beds, free Wi-Fi, A pool, free breakfast, and they have some movies that you can sign out and watch in your room. (We chose Spider-man 2)


So after a long car drive, a nice bit of swimming, and a junk food fest while watching Spidey on a flat screen, I can't complain. And this has just been day 1! Tomorrow we do some, okay a lot, of shopping, and maybe even a little sight seeing.


Until then,
