After a good night’s sleep we were held up in a thunder and Lightning storm until around 10 o’clock. Our destination was my dads friend Matt’s house. It was a very smooth ride and everything went well. We kept the skis right next to his boat. When we got to his house we took showers had something to eat and then we went to a party which was a lot of fun. After the party we slept on the boat which was really cool.

Today we left Cousin Vinny’s around 7:45. We made Charleston South Carolina today and it was a really smooth ride. We had help from Steve the boat mate when we got to our destination. He got his friend and his friend said we could use his boat slip for the night.  We stayed at the Holiday Inn right next to were we docked for the night. After we got situated in the room we took showers and went to Clark’s for dinner. It was all very good and after that i passed out in bed in around 5 minutes.

Today was the last day at Cousin Vinny’s. We all went to the Tennis courts and played tennis and soccer for a little bit and that was very fun. We would of played longer but is was sooo hot out. After that we went home ordered Pizza and played Ping Pong. After that we hung out and watched the Germany Brasil game. After that we all took showers and went to the Texas Steakhouse for dinner. It was very good and when we went home i went to sleep. Goodnight.

Today we hung out at the house and played ping pong. But later that day we all went to a mini beach by jet ski. That was a lot of fun. We were racing the skis and playing games and it was all just a lot of fun. Tomorrow is the last day were visiting and I hope it’s awesome!

Today was an awesome day. We got to hangout with our cousins for the first time in a while.  Then we chilled and played ping pong for a while. Then later that day we had to go get our skis at the house we left them at. The family’s house that we left the skis at we’re very nice and even gave us food. After the ride back to the docks we went home took showers and went out to dinner.  I hope tomorrow will be just as fun!

So Hurricane Arthur was a bust. The only thing we got was some wind and some rain. Everyone thought it was going to be a disaster but as i predicted it was nothing to severe. But for the rest of the day we just relaxed and i tried surfing again but i current was ripping so i didn’t stay out to long. After all of that we went back to Mahi Mah’s for the 50 cent oyster, clams, and wings and that was pretty good. Finally we went to dairy queen were it was PACKED and had some great ice cream.

Today was a relaxing day due to the delay of Hurricane Arthur. The only thing i did today was sit in the room and attempt to go surfing but the waves were pretty upsetting. After all of that we went to Mahi Mah’s for dinner and that was excellent! Tonight is the big night we’ve all been waiting for because Arthur is suppose to hit. Wish us luck!

Today was very relaxing. we had to take the day and reflect on what we actually accomplished the day before. But besides that we hung out at Virginia beach the whole day walking around and exploring the area which I’ve never been to. At the end of the day we went to dinner with Mrs.Antonelli and her kids. It was a very fun time and afterwards we walked around Virginia beach exploring the night activities. There was a slingshot ride that we’ve never been on before and we all did it and it was the best 30 seconds of my life of my life. That concluded the night with a really far walk home. Goodnight.

Today was a very crazy day. We started out at the Waterside inn in Virginia and ended at the Schooner inn in Virginia beach. We traveled 4 hours to reach the circle bar which is right before the 27 mile bridge in Virginia. We stopped there to get lunch which was wonderful. After that we really wanted to make the 14 mile trip to Rudee inlet so we took our chances and went for it. Due to the Horrific seas it took us 2 and a half hours to make it to Rudee inlet (Virginia beach). I would have to say it was probably the scariest time of my life and i hope i would never have to go through something like that again. Overall it was very scary day.

Today was a really fun day despite me getting stuck for 3 hours. It was very exciting to see the east cost from the water because I’ve never been past Ocean City, NJ on water. We also saw a big pod of Dolphins that i recorded on my Go Pro. I will admit that i didn’t put enough sun screen on and that i did get cooked but i will make sure for tomorrow i will keep reapplying. The high temperature for tomorrow is 95!
