Day Four

Day Four (Saturday, July 31, 2004):

7:00 a.m. - Woke up

7:15 a.m. - Went to breakfast. The bagels were rock hard. Literally.

8:00 a.m. - Left the hotel. I didn't know where we were going and I was so tired that I could hardly keep my eyes open while reading "Goblet of Fire" for the second time.

9:30 a.m. - Arrived at this cavern place. It was an underground tour of this huuuuuge cave with stalacites and stalagmites everywhere. James was pretending to get impaled on some of them. Mom kept asking me about how they were formed and stuff. Then, Mom got pissed at James because he was pretending one of stalacites had fallen on his head and split him in half. I thought it was funny. Some of them were really weird looking, actually. One looked like ice cream. James said it looked like a pile of...well, you know.

10:30 a.m. - Left the caves. Read "Goblet of Fire". Finished half of it and listened to some music. Slept some more. I didn't know where we were going. I think we started to go back north to New York and Boston because we were driving for so long. I slept some more, read some more, whined some more, breathed so more...you get the picture. But, I mostly slept.

1:00 p.m. - We stopped in the middle of nowhere for lunch. The spaghetti was so nasty because the tomato sauce was really sour. Called Dad, but he wasn't at the store. We didn't have time to call home because we had to leave.

6:00 p.m. - That's how long we were driving. I think we passed through New York at around 3:00 p.m. and we were now at Boston or at least halfway there. We stopped at this awesome glass museum, where everything was made out of glass. Duh. Then, James and I watched this amazing flamework show where this old dude made a glass figurine of a dog in front of us. It was so cool! He used this blue flame and glass tubes and voila! A glass dog. It was really freaky, but cool. I bought this really nice glass windchime. Then, we set off for dinner.

7:00 p.m. - Stopped in the middle of nowhere for dinner at this Chinese buffet. They had really good skewered chicken and noodles. I ate so much.

8:00 p.m. - Arrived at the hotel. Watched part of "Dreamcatcher" on TV before getting so freaked out that I told James to watch something else. We ended up watching this Discovery Channel-like show where they talked about psychic healings. Mom forced me to do sit-ups until I collapsed. I did a 100 before I collapsed. I'm so proud.

11:00 p.m. - Fell asleep.
