Road Trip

  Brace yourself Im going to take you way back into the middle of summer in 2007! My mom decided to take us to what she thought was one of the best places in the world We went to the best place in the world with what we could carry and came back with more than we can handle. Here we go!!!!!!!!!!!

      On this lovely afternoon my brother (Francisco) and I were watching television in the living room together which rarely happens. We were talking about who was the better rapper, TI or Lil Wayne. We were going to go out and I was going to beat him on a quick one on one in basketball, but my mom (Evelyn) caught us off guard and asked well more like told us we were going on a trip. Although to this day she insists that she asked us. Anyway she said were going to see our uncle in Buffalo N.Y. She was so excited, so we looked at each other and said what uncle? She responded Tio Papo. So that kind of made me laugh but not like a haha funny laugh but a why are we doing this kind of laugh. So we started packing and suddenly it sunk in and we were all kind of happy about packing up and going on a road trip. My brother and I were in his room I was playing with his rubber basketball and door net while he packed. So we talked about this road trip, and laughed at the thought of getting lost every time we go out we get los for at least a half an hour. Anyway we all go to bed late that night watching movies and talking about leaving early the next day.

So when we finally did get to sleep, my mom woke us up about 6 a.m. we were so tired. My brother was up first and he got ready fast and started to load the car. While he was loading i was getting ready, i put a jean skirt, whit t-shirt, white keds, white belt and silver earings. I put my hair up in a ponytail, grabbed a blanket and went downstairs. Francisco had just finished packing. I made a sandwich grabbed a juice and went in the car, I sat in the back seat of the mini van. I spread the blanket out over me put my legs up and leaned against the door and fell asleep.The ride was bumpy, but since i was tired i ignored it.  After a couple of hours i got hungry, so i sat up and said mom when can we have some breakfast? She said "why don't you eat what you made?" Francisco looks at me and laughs and says "don't you remember I just  ate it an hour ago" My mom said "oh yeah I remember that, at the next stop we'll get you something to eat."  So we eat and laugh and get moving again. When we got back in the car I went back to sleep, and when I woke up about 5 hours later we were in Buffalo N.Y. My mom woke me up with her yelling about how much fun we're going to have when we get there, because at the moment we were lost. Once we got to uncle's house he greeted us at the car. My uncle gave us all hugs and handshakes and kisses, then he helped my brother unload the car. My mom and I grabbed at least one of our suitcases and walked into the house. That's when everyone smothered us in kisses! My brother came in with the suit cases and dropped them as soon as everyone started kissing and pinching his cheeks. He looked at me while our relatives lead us to a room, and as soon as my mom came into the room we started talking about how small the room was, how it smelled funky in the house and how loud everyone was. So in the end of our complaining my mom decided we should stop complaining and make the best of it.

So we spent like 20 minutes unpacking, when we were done our uncle decided to take us around. We went to see Niagra Falls from the Buffalo N.Y side, we wanted to see it from the Canada side but my mom didn't find my birth certificate. So we walked around and looked, finally we went to a park which was pretty. I walked my baby cousin to the slides and she didn't want to stop sliding she would slide down and climb the little steps back up and go back down, but every time I tried to leave her and get my uncle she would cry and scream "don't leave". I guess my uncle sensed that I was bored, because he came over and apologized ignoring us. Then I went back to the table that the family was sitting at, and I ate a hoagie. Everyone was eating and getting there grubb(eating) on. After everyone got tired my mom decided to go back to her brother's house. She told us "we are going to be here for a little while so relax." We went back to the house and everyone except the people who lived in the house left. We waited while my uncle gave his daughter a bath and put her to bed. I sat on the couch and watched my uncle, after he was done putting his daughter to bed he went out onto the porch with my mom. They started drinking and remenicing, while my brother and I watched movies. At 2 in the morning Francisco and I decided to go to bed. He was trying to come at me, because he said I was fat ad should sleep on the bottom bunk, but then he changed his mind and said never mind i'll sleep on the bottom bunk. So I watched but he was trying to be all big and bad, hopped on the bottom bunk, and pulled his weight up to pull himself onto the top bunk and instead broke the bottom bunk!!! He put a lego box under the bottom bunk and layed down. U climbed on the top bunk without breaking it and with that we went to sleep. When I woke up the next day my mom was in the kitchen with my uncle, aunt and my brother they were making breakfast. As soon as I walked into the kitchen the stench hit my nose like someone punched me in my nose. About an hour later my grandma came to my uncle's house. My brother and I pulled my mom and said "we need to cut this "vacation" short. After arguing and negotiating we settled on taking us home that night. My grandma wanted to come with us too. So my mom told my uncle that there was an emergency back at home and that she had to go that afternoon. He asked a couple of questions, and that was that. We all started packing and were done in like 5 minutes. That day dragged on forever. But when it hit 12:00 pm my brother and I darted into the car. After 20 minutes my mom was finally done saying good bye and we were off to North Philly and we were all so happy that the worst vacation ever was done and over with.
