  I'm back home from North Carolina! WHEE!! Anyway, hope everyone had as much fun while I was gone as I did. We arrived on Topsail Beach Sunday morning after driving for.... 9 hours I believe, and when we got in everything was clean and cool and oh-so pretty. So we wasted no time in getting unpacked, then I went down to the beach with Trachtman and we flopped around in the waves for a good bit. That's pretty much what we did. On Monday we went downtown to get some ice cream/play miniature golf/go to the arcade, which was sweet.
I had mint chocolate chip, oh so tasty. Tuesday: More beach, got sunburnt : ( and then we went out for lunch. I had onion rings and a grilled cheese sandwich. God was that a mistake, the onion rings decided to take baths in grease before I consumed them, so that they could eat my stomach lining and render me useless for the rest of the day. Ouch. That night we played Spoons, in which Mrs. Trachtman and I were the victors. Wednesday: Stomach said "Ok, I killed the nasty grease," and I was on my way.
I practiced front flips that day for a bit, landed on my back a lot, scraped my head once, and hit my heels a few times. Then we(Tracht-dogg, Mrs. Trachtman and I) went to go kayaking, but we saw some lightning and were instructed to turn back, so we did and got a pass for a free hour of kayaking the next day. Thursday: I hung around at the house after waking up late, waiting to go kayaking... So we went around 11:00 and it turns out the tide isn't high enough for us to go out on the water, and there's a group of 21 coming in later.
So we are instructed to come back around 4:30. We get back, go down to the beach for a few hours, and I come out really really really tired(flipping over waves is fun!!). So then we went kayaking, finally, for our full hour. Only this time my parents came along. So we got there and I found some nice nice shoes(Merrell Chameleons... droooolllll.....) but they were $100, and I had already bought new shoes for PK. And they didn't have any in a big enough size. Blah. Ok, 1 hour of Kayaking, I led the group most of the way, it was a lot of fun and made me realize that I'm actually in shape!
I wasn't tired by the end of it, I was impressed. Anyway, it was great. There were some fish jumping out of the water, I'm not sure what kind(Ben, you remember?)... But it was pretty, there was marsh grass and the water was only like 2 feet deep, pretty neat. Then we went home and played spoons again. I didn't win. Friday: We went home... Drove a lot. Stayed at a hotel. I got a sinus headache.
Couldn't fall asleep until 1:00 a.m. Saturday: HOME, WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! After a lot of driving, we finally made it home! It felt nice to get back into Pughtown and see my puppy-hound and brother and everything. It just felt so good, I was home! So I hung around a bit with Matt and read the new Newsweek, then brought my stuff in. After that I went out and PK'd like a madman, it felt wonderful.
My legs were dying to PK, and when I finally did, they just absorbed everything. Cleared the 4.5 foot fence like it was nothing, it felt fantastic. Climbed up my porch and spun around over the rail, then went inside. I had missed that so much. Then we went out for dinner and I ate food. Now I am not hungry. Then videogames. Now I'm on AIM wondering why music isn't playing. Well, that's it. SO LONG AND THANKS FOR ALL THE FISH
