Challenge #4 – Write an entry about the best vacation/trip you ever took
Well this one is probably easy. I didn’t get to take "vacations" in my family. The only thing I ever did was go to local fairs, and a few times to Tennessee to visit my snot nose all boy cousins. (And my parents wonder why I grew up a Tom boy! lol)
But the best vacation I ever took?
As a young adult
The Swimmer’s took me with them on their family vacation. Tom, Sarah’s father, decided that I was part of their family. Mostly because Sarah was my best friend. I was ALWAYS at their house, avoiding being bored at mine. Anyways, he approached my parents and asked if I could go with Sarah, Alex, and the parents to Disney World, Florida! They would cover the trip, I just needed $$ for souvenirs. So with $100 in hand, and only being like 11/12, Us preteen girls and Alex sat in the back of a cramped Mustang and drove ALL the way to Florida. Straight through. It was a great trip, road some rides, experienced Epcot, Learned to write my name in Arabic. all in all a good trip. We were there like 4 days.
As an Adult
Best trip was probably *supposed* to be the Vegas Trip I went on a few years ago… but given my ex, had his baby mom’s there, and I was REALLY sick, and I got into a fight with Sarah.. it was just a hell of a vacation. Plus side— I got to know Andy a bit better, and I was killing the black jack tables. But I digress…
All in all I think my best trip was to New York. I was in college and my now best friend Jessica (at the time we were not best friends but close) and I traveled to Cleveland OH. We stayed at my moms hotel (free 🙂 ) and gossiped about the boys we were going to flirt with , the things we wanted to do. We were driving to New York, Brooklyn. My friend Rob was at Steve’s. So Jessica and I drove to pick up Steve, and we all started off. Given this was the first time I got to Drive a Camaro & to New York, I was slightly nervous and wasn’t paying attention right. Did a douche thing and cut lots of people off to get onto our exit ramp for the toll road! HA! Thinking about it now its SO funny. But we were driving and I remember a place called Muffinville (teehee). Around there is where Steve was getting antsy and wanted to Drive. I drove 1/2 the trip, then Steve for an hour, then Rob to finish it off. But we made it FINALLY to Brooklyn New York. It was the 4th of July. It was SUCH a great trip. The 2nd to last day I got sick and just couldn’t sight see. That sucked.
We saw the fireworks for this awesome Park. We visited Central Park, Old Brooklyn, Coonie Island. Went to a local rock concert (punk rock), and visited CBGB before it closed down. AWESOME trip, great memories… wished I had more pictures of it!
Side note – Spell Check just old me the correct spelling of "Muffinville" is "Muffing" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
