Well, after reading the title of this blog, you might be pondering that this is going to be the last post outside of California. I will be returning on August 31, not too long from now. And this might be true, considering how many days I have left in New Jersey and New York! I only have one more day of free rest on Friday, and then on Saturday is the second and last wedding for the Wuthrich clan until next summer! After that, I only have a few hours to rest before taking off to California. To be realistic, I do not want to leave because all of my cousins from around the world are here chilling in this huge house! It would take many more months (even years) until we all see each other again. I'm glad, however, that we took the time and effort to see each other and analyze how much we have grown! I will never forget that! It might get harder to keep in touch for some of my cousins (who are way younger than I am) because they are too underaged to go on facebook, but hopefully we will all keep in touch soon! Gotta be in the circle of "keepin in touch" right?
Anyway, the road trip back to New Jersey wasn't all bad
toll road in florida
. In fact, we managed to get to our destination in less than 30 hours! This time, we had only 18 hours of road time together. No...wait! I meant 19! haha. but still, the length of travelling was way better and faster than the previous one! We took one van with 16 people this time around. But before we went straight ahead, we stopped by Orlando for Disney World! Now think about it. I have been praying for good weather the night before so that we will be able to go and experience Disney World like no other! And praise GOD that the weather turned out to be awesome the next day. No showers drop Magic Kingdom, one of the many places Disney World had to offer, that day! Plus, the fireworks plus lightning were fantastic to watch! Adding a little bit of white magic would do for all of us all together! For the most part, we walked like crazy, got dark, went to kiddie rides and the main ones, figured out that some attractions were slightly different from Disneyland back in Anaheim. But all in all, the theme park is quite the same! The same rides, the same theme for 2008, the same food. Yea. Definitely the same alright. =] Going back home was fast. Everyone had to take showers to avoid the disgusting chlorine and swampy smell of Florida (and those dumb mosquito bites too, I got at least one on my foot somewhere). We then left at exactly 2 AM and arrived at 9 something PM the next night. YAY! Passed by only less than ten stops this time! Rained for a bit from the completely scattered and weaken version of Fay, and then went passed the places we went previously at interstate 95! GPS is awesome to have nowadays
another one. we had to pay!
. Why? Because you can't really get lost from one place to another! Today, the cousins and I (plus more cousins since some came from Canada on Wednesday), went to Jersey Gardens in Elizabeth for some TAX-FREE shopping! I bought shoes, slippers and white short shorts. Everyone else probably bought more because of the huge LABOR DAY WEEKEND SALE and the tax free extravagansta (haha)! For instance, Victoria Secret has a semi-annual sale with most of their products on sale for $1.99! =] Amazing!
The last couple of days will be a lil bit busy, but at least they will become worthwhile to the touch.
Tomorrow - visit mom's relatives? Rachel's dinner at NY.
Saturday - Rachel's wedding and reception in NY
Sunday - leave for L.A.
See you soon!
It won't be long now!
Always,
Jerryl
