vacay part II

just thought I'd let you all know what I did on the last days of my vacay in NY, sunday we went into the city (about an hour away from my aunt's place). Stephen embarked on a shopping adventure, I didn't find anything I felt I had to have. It started to rain so we left... nothing terribly exciting... we saw rockfeller centre, empire state building, and times square.
It would've been funner if it hadn't rained.

monday we went to some mall, nothing special. we spent the afternoon wondering what the diff between the store "abercrombie" and "abercrombie and fitch" was. after going into abercrombie, we discovered that it was basically the kids version of A&F. mystery solved!

tuesday we went back to the outlet center. stephen bought a nike winter jacket for $20 mainly because it made him laugh. it was sort of ugly.... he'll prolly give it to our dad.

that's about it.. wednesday was pretty much engulfed by the flight home, i had forgotten how much I hate flying. I will be cherishing these 3 jet lag-free months

I am FINALLY on summer vacay! After 9 dragged out months, I am amidst my last summer ever!

It started out with stephen coming to boston. He was supposed to arrive sat night but his flight got all messed up and he ended up having to spend the night in toronto airport, poor kid. He made it in sunday morning and after a nap, we embarked upon a shopping adventure. We went to newbury st and prudential center. It was a good day.

Monday we went to cambridge side galleria and didn't buy anything, it was a bit of a letdown. We went back to prudential center to buy jeans that we had been overwhelmed with on the previous day but upon closer inspection, we decided to walk away from them.... so monday was our crummy shopping day. Later that night we went to see Pirates 3, I liked it but it wasn't as funny as the first two and I still maintain the 1st = the best.

On our last full day in bean town, we went to the aquarium (check fb for pics). It was cool but not $18 cool. I'm a bit disappointed we didn't get to go to the museum of fine arts but that will definitely be done next school year.

Wednesday included packing and cleaning. Luckily stephen was there, he basically packed for me. I threw out a lot of junk... and some actually useful stuff that I kinda miss. (I'm sorrry water filter and water boiler... you did me right, always providing me with clean water... Yes, I boil AND filter my water). We left boston on a 4pm bus to NY and arrived at about 8:15pm.

NY's been really chill. Thursday we went shopping at an outlet center and thought we were all done when my aunt told us there was another side.... we basically ran out of time and we are hopefully going back there if everything goes to plan. Yest (friday) we went crabbing and to the beach. I actually got sunburnt! I would be angry but I totally don't have that in me right now. Life is beautiful.
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping. We are in the springtime of our lives.
