Me: Another chapter of Ramblings!
Finn: We might as well inform them of our lovely trip to North Carolina.
Me: Can we take turns?
Finn: -sigh- Fine…
Me: So we woke up at eight in the morning and took off. My mom, sister, Finn, and myself were in my mom's Mazda CX-9 and it's a ten-hour drive there and all there is on the radio in NC is country music. My sister, Finn and, I played on our DS' for the ride there until I got bored and started reading the third Hunger Games which ticked off Finn because I wasn't reading Power Play, which I haven't read yet.
Finn: -grumbles- We stopped in Charleston and went shopping and other stuff. Fun. The next day we went to Fort Sumter, where the first shots of the Civil War were fired, and of course it had to be a million degrees out, hotter than Florida, and we were outside in the heat. Then we got cupcakes which were good, but I'm not that picky. Then we drove to South Carolina and went to Myrtle Beach where WonderWorks and MagiQuest is.
Me: Finn's never been to MagiQuest and he loved it.
Finn: Wizards!
Me: It's this place where you get your own wand and you get sent on quests by the Telling Stones, but I call it Stonehenge because that's what it looks like, and this old wizard guy makes you go find clues hidden around this huge place with castles, dragons, fairies, and duel masters. You have to complete all quests to find these runes which have powers like The Enchanted Rune where you can talk to animals. Really awesome place. You should go there.
Finn: We didn't go to WonderWorks because A.) we have it in Florida, B.) It was way too hot, and C.) The line was long. So after MagiQuest (I got a brown wand with gold), we went to her great-grandmother's house!
Me: And that's where technology almost failed us.
Finn: Kat's great-grandma being born in the Great Depression, which was a long time ago, she's not too into technology. No computer, no internet, and only like 35 channels on this relatively big television that goes sometimes messes up.
Me: That's why I couldn't post.
Finn: And then there's Grandpa Michael.
Me: Not too be mean and all, but he's a Jehovah's Witness. I mean, one of my good friends is a Jehovah's Witness! But he tends to… preach to us? And… we… don't… really… care. He, has internet, but my uncle, who lives in Taiwan with his wife, came to visit and I couldn't spend all my time typing.
Finn: Backstory! Kat's mom's parent's got married, had kids, got divorced and Grandpa Michael moved to North Carolina where he got remarried to Eva where they had FOUR more children, making them younger brothers and sisters to Kat's mom. I finished.
Me: Grandpa Michael tried to convert Finn to 'his ways' and Finn went back to my great-grandma's asking me if we have to go back again. I said yes and not to worry about it, he does it all the time.
Finn: Did we mention the sleeping arrangement?
Me: Oh no.
Finn: Well, this is a VERRYYY small one-story house. You know, the ones that when you step on the floor too hard, it shakes the floors. There's two bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, a porch and a kitchen. Well, Kat's great-grandma sleeps in her own room that's not big and all four of us crammed in this small guest room.
Me: There's only one official bed and my sister and I sleep on air mattresses on available space. Finn had to squish with me in my double air mattress.
Finn: Needless to say, it was not comfy.
Me: But yet…
Finn: It was fun! We went to the beach where the waves criss-crossed and slammed us around until we were practically dying. But fun.
Me: So that was our trip! What about you guys? Do you have any 'memorable' trips that you went on?
Finn: Tell us! Message us or review!
Me: It would be entertaining!
Finn: Especially because at her great-grandma's house is where Kat lost her first tooth.
Me: Cantaloupe.
Finn: So… yes! Tell us a trip!
Me: That was either terrible, or super fun! Maybe I can convince my parents to go there.
