Road Trip

I up and decided that I needed a vacation. I coordinated a visit to my sister Susan, and my good friend (Virginia Tech graduate) Jen. I went up to Maryland and relaxed with my parents for a few days, and got a hold of an old friend I havent seen in 10 years. Then went up to New Jersey and stayed with VTuba Kosmo on Wednesday. The next morning I took the train into NYC and found my way down to the WTC site. I spent the rest of the day with my sister, and the next day I met up with Jen (after going to buy Zoids). I tried to hit up lots of touristy things since the last time I didn't really do any of that last time (saw Susan and Nick that time). I got to do lots. I tried to take lots of pictures, especially of the WTC. Problem is, there isn't anything there. The extreme lack of things there, is what is most impressive. It dones come across well in the pictures.

Overall I had a great time with all my friends and family. It's good to get out and see the people I used to see all the time. That is one of my favorite kinds of vacations. Seeing new things is great, but old friends are way better. Thanks a lot to everyone that helped me make this trip so great. Got to see my mom and dad, 2 sisters, and 3 old friends. Not bad for a trip I got together in an evening.
