      Longest Weekend EVER
    Okay, I'm back.

    If this wasn't the longest weekend I've ever experienced then I honestly don't recall any others. It just felt like Sunday took FOREVER to arrive.

    Friday, we (me, my mother, father, grandparents, two aunts, two uncles, my cousin, her husband, my two cousins, and my other three cousins) drove up to Vermont to stay at my aunt's ski/mountain house in Caverndish.

    Let's get this straight. I do not mesh with 1. the mountains 2. the middle of nowhere and 3. extreme cold/snow. Whatdya' know? Vermont has all of the above and some moose (VT really has an obsession with the population of moose in the state, huh?)

    All in all, it wasn't that bad. I don't mind visiting every...year or so. But to live there or go up (4-6 hour drive, by the friggin' way!) on the weekends? No, not at all. I'll take Montauk and fishing over that kind of trip anyday. Yeah, I really threw fishing in there.

    Friday night, when we all finally got there we went up in the game room and played pool and darts (my new obsession). Darts are SO fun! My arm is sore but I SLAY! My father attempted to teach me how to play pool -- but basically, I suck really bad. Whatever I'll play darts the next time I go to a bar or billiards haha.

    Saturday, my parents and I weren't in the hanging around the house for the day with everyone mood so we went on an adventure into the nearby towns. We drove to two places nearby and went browsing and I took pictures (which I will post later on) of the views and such. Got me thinking of being a Photography major or something. We had lunch at a wanna-be Pizza Hut called Chef Pizza (pizza there is so bad) and then we went into Ludlow where Okemo is ( the mountain where everyone skis and my cousins work at). We went to look for cappuccino.

    NO STARBUCKS ANYWHERE!
    Calm down. I know! BLASPHEMY!

    After about a half hour, we went into this place Java Bamba or something and got the worst cappuccino's ever. It was like drinking hot milk with cinnamon in it. Blah.

    Anywho then we went back to the house where I found my aunt upstairs playing Rock Band with my cousins and she was singing and rapping. I have her on video doing "No Sleep Til'......" by the Beastie Boys -- CLASSIC! I'll be sure to put it up haha.

    Then we had dinner and played a bunch of games -- first Boggle, boo..then Pictionary me and my grandmother against my cousin and grandfather. My team won! You already know. Then we played Taboo. Me, my cousin, and her husband against my two aunts and my grandfather. We lost. I have this thing with, towards the end of the game, getting over-excited and saying one of the words I'm not supposed to blurt out. OH WELL. Don't judge me on my Taboo skills.

    I'd rather be judged on my UNO skills! Cause after everyone went to sleep, I OWNED both my aunt and uncle. TWICE -- in a row. Ooh, man. It was a spectacle.

    So, that was the fun part of Vermont -- playing games in the house with the family, which we could've done right here in good ol' New Jerzzzzzz. But whatever ha.

    Right now though, my brain is throbbing. I have the biggest headache that the three advil I've been taking are not helping. Ahh.

    ttyl
    xo

    P.S.
    Reminder to myself --- I have a gorgeous* story to tell for next time. haha.
