Good morning!

I'm back, and here's a quick summary of yesterday (so I don't fall behind while recounting my vacation to you) - After work, I came home and the pre-freshmen were all at my place! (except Kimbria who had to work late) We played some games, Carrie left, we played more games, then they left, then I visited them at the dorms, then I came back and played video games before crashing. (ARGH! THE GRAMMAR! IT BURNS!!)

Now I will continue with my vacation story.

On Sunday, we all got up bright and early - for some reason, no one could sleep late at the beach - and headed down to the beach! I goofed off in the water (it was boring, but I guess I needed it more than I thought I did) and then headed back for lunch. After lunch, Jersey and I took a walk around Beach Haven and bought henna tattoos (the kind that smell really good and wear off after two or so weeks).

In the evening, one of the uncles made crab cakes, and I ate pasta and spinach (yum! but dull). I was really confused because I have never been in a place that didn't have any kind of oil (olive, canola, vegetable - nothing!). Then I went for a bike ride with two of his aunts.

On Monday, it was the same as Sunday - except I took a walk without Jersey in the afternoon. After that, the cousins, Jersey, and I all went to play putt-putt and get Ben and Jerry's ice cream (I didn't get anything). Then we went back and ordered food from the Beach Haven Fishery (which is apparently supposed to be really good fish). I got sushi-grade tuna rare with a seaweed salad - which was good. I ended up finishing some other people's food (only seafood - no dairy, meat, or egg products).

On Tuesday - same as Monday and Sunday - nothing really happened until the evening when I went to go see Inception with the cousins and Jersey. Oh, and jersey accompanied me on my walk again, and he bought me some frozen vegan Mexican food. Inception was really good, and I LOVED IT!!! But that's all I'm going to say in case you haven't seen it yet.

On Wednesday, I went bike-riding with the extended family in the morning - after we turned around, I took my time coming back and explored a little bit (I wanted to find Asian food on the island, but there wasn't any). Then some guy standing on a corner with his kids told me that everyone was waiting for me. So I felt really bad and started calling Jersey to tell them it's OK.

But then he didn't pick up, so I just pedaled my butt off to get back to the house, where they had all just arrived. I got scolded a little bit, but I honestly didn't think that they would wait for me like that. I ate a vegan burrito for breakfast.

(I just bought the last blueberry bagel at Java Wallys - score!)

Then, I turned on my phone and eagerly awaited a call from Ann or Tony!!!!! Because they promised to come visit us on Wednesday!!!!!! We went down to the beach while we waited, but I clutched my phone like you wouldn't believe!

Finally, we went back for lunch (I showered), and I snacked a bit. Then we got called at the same time, and it was them! They were singing Of Montreal (a really good band, you should look them up)!!!! I started singing along, and then we ran outside to wait for them. Jersey waved at a car that wasn't them, so I got to pick on him a little bit.

Once Ann and Tony arrived, we rejoiced!

AND I WILL CONTINUE IN MY NEXT POST!!!! (ha! you thought I would finish it all at once!)

Have a great day!
