Friday, we got there, went to the Sanitary, and met some random people which my mom talked to for a while. Then we went to CaseyMon's house and I saw Krouton, Caroliney, BlairBear, and HuntaCox. We all played with the ripstiks for a while until we went to get Coleman and JojoCox, and we stayed up til 12 playing Girls vs. Boys capture the flag.. The girls won:)
On Saturday, we got up, and we all went to Cape Lookout for the day. We ate lunch sitting on the boat and then Krouton, BlairBear, Caroliney and I jumped off Trento's big boat. (There were 3 boats that met at the Cape and we tied them together) Anyway, we kept jumping off that boat for a while until CaseyMon got back in our boat and we started back and went to the beach off of the Cape for a while- we saw a few people we knew & talked to them for a while. They were playing baggo :)
Then we went back home and I went to the grocery store with my mom to get stuff for dinner- spaghetti:) and after dinner, Coleman, Caroliney, Krouton and I played Baggo. Coleman & I on a team and Caroliney and Krouton on a team. Coleman and I won. 21- 9. Ouch :) Then we all got in the pool at 11 o clock- Me, Krouton, Caroliney, Coleman, and JojoCox- HuntaCox had to go home & he snuck back over after his grandparents were asleep. It was a rough game. Basically, attack whoever has the ball. Whatever it takes. Jump on their back, put them in a nelson.. anything.. Girls won:)
Next day was the 4th:)
Basically my whole family was there- minus BimsPashim, LauraBoBorra, MikeMabob, and AnnaBanana.
We cooked out- had my uncle CaseyMon's bubba burgers:) and then we went out in the boat to see all the fireworks :) I saw fireworks in at least 7 different places from the water:) - and it's so beautiful- the fireworks reflecting off the water. When we got back, JojoCox and HuntaCox came over and we were trying to decide what to play, but since HuntaCox has a huge crush on BlairBear, and BlairBear went home earlier that day, he left. Plus, he thinks Coleman doesn't like him. Which I felt bad about.. and when I went to tell Coleman that he went home for that reason.. all he said was okay. and I felt worse about that :\ JojoCox stayed though.
The next day, I woke up and went swimming with Coleman, Caroliney, Krouton, and JojoCox.
After I had to get dressed and get packed and ready to go. Which was extremely depressing. I tried to stall for the longest time so I could get my ipod charged on Krouton's computer. Then I told Krouton, Caroliney, and Coleman bye and left:( *JojoCox and HuntaCox left at the same time as me. Off back to Maryland for them. I probably won't see them for another year or two...
So then Mims drove to Beaufort and we went in a few stores and walked around. Beaufort is gorgeous. Then we went to El's Drive in. Which has the absolute best shrimp burgers in the entire world. For those of you that don't know, a shrimp burger is fried shrimp, slaw, and ketchup on buns. & Don't say it sounds disgusting until you try it, because it is amazing. They also have the most amazing cheeseburgers ever there. We got one to take home to eat the next day. It was still good yesterday.
We went through Mt. Olive on the way home-- you know, pickle central. I happen to love pickles... you might think that Mt. Olive would be a cool, happenin place because of the pickle factory... it really isn't...
Just makes me think how much North Carolina has to its name.. Birthplace of Pepsi Cola is in New Bern.. an AMAZING town. I love New Bern so much.
Dr. Pepper was invented somewhere in the mountains of NC.
Pickles from Mount Olive:)
and all the Nicholas Sparks books are based off of places in NC.
I really love North Carolina. I don't care what people say. It's awesome.. and incredibly beautiful :)
Yesterday, I spent a lot of time with friends. Which was very fun.
I went to La Perla with LeighAiko, and we came back to my house and walked the dog and watched Pretty Little Liars together and ate the remaining spumoni.. which I have got LeighAiko addicted to now:)
Then I watched Billy Madison, and amazingly funny movie, and went to sleep.
Today, I woke up at 12:20. The result of my cousins getting me further into the sleep schedule of California from being at their house... Now I go to bed at 1 or 2 every night ( I don't get sleepy until then!) and then wake up at 11 or 12. 1 or 2 a.m here is 10,11, or midnight in California (I'm not too great at math, but you get the picture.)
Anyways, thanks a lot to my cousins.
It's supposed to be 103 degrees today, so my sweet doggie will be inside with me.
Other than that, I don't really know.
So now that you're caught up, we'll talk later.
xoxo,
Claire
p.s, check out the song. I can't get it off my head. Along with a lot of other things lately..
