Post Beach Vacation Update

Alright so the beach vacation is complete and I'd have to say the break from the norm was definitely needed. I'll go ahead and provide a day by day analysis as to what events occured through Friday, Saturday and Sunday. So here we go.

Friday:

Friday woke up and decided to work from home for that day. To be honest though for the most part I was pretty lazy/easy day overall. Not a whole lot of work due and the only thing on the agenda was to pack up. Though the packing up hit a bit of a hiatus and really wasn't done till last minute. Though even with the hick-ups (and being 10-15 minutes late) I wen to my sister's place and then we went over to pick up my mom. I initially was driving (for about 5 minutes) but my mom wanted to drive instead so basically got out and chilled in the back listening to harry potter for most of the trip. Once we got to the hotel we order pizza (stupidly overpriced pizza) and went to our respective rooms (suite style I got the living room) and head off to bed. I didn't crash till a bit later in the evening. Spent most of the time watching Adult Swim sense it had been a while and my dad doesn't get the channel as part of his standard cable package.

Saturday:

We woke up fairly early like 10/11ish and from there (after room service for breakfast) went to the mall. Usually at this point my mom and sister shop for cloths and I head off to the arcade...what I didn't realize was the arcade was no longer there. Though the plus side of it all was that there was Barnes and Nobles with the A+ book I was reading in my free time. So I called up my sister informed her of the new location and read there for a good bit. Once we were done there we went back to the hotel. I took a quick nap and at some point we went to Lone Star for dinner. It was either this or Olive Garden but didn't matter to me which we choose. Dinner there was alright, took them a while to get our food out so it was 1/2 off. On top of that once I got my food (chicken tenders and fries) the chicken was cold so sent it back. Finishing from there we stopped by a 7-11 and shortly after a Toys-R-Us. I went ahead and grabbed Risk redesign, its a new version of Risk that came out that makes the game go a bit faster. I did find a piano there and could play a tiny bit of the Aeris theme...seeing how my dad has two pianos I might practice it in the future (or find the score sheet to make life easier from guessing). As for my sister and mom they picked up a gift for one of my friend's sons. After the Toys-R-Us adventure we went back to the hotel and went swimming in the pool. Pool wasn't shabby, it had been a bit so it was good to get in the water. I was opposed to it at first but after some consideration I don't regret it. My sister got bored after 15 minutes so at that point we departed. Not much else happen at the end of the day went to bed early.

Sunday:

Today has definitely been the day of rest. Woke up and we left the hotel by 11ish. Though we hit a good bit of traffic so we weren't back in Richmond till 2ish. After we got back I spent most of the day watching the MLG Raleigh stream for Warcraft 3v3 and zoning in and out of consciousness. I might head off to bed early catch up on sleep or reading. Not feeling like doing too much. That's about it for today thanks for reading :).
