President's Day Weekend

On Saturday February 17th, my parents and I drove to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to visit my little brother Ryan and his fiancé (my soon to be sister in law).

When we arrived at their apartment, Ryan ordered lunch from Christopher's a sandwich place. I had chicken tenders and french fries.

 After lunch, He attempted to make me a cup of tea. This is the first time I ever seen someone prepare tea look so complicated to make. But I applaud his effort. Since Victoria wanted to get rid of this giant stuffed R2D2 which was taking up space in their closet, Ryan let me keep it.

My parents and I drove back to the hotel and took an hour nap. Then we went to the pool and the hot tub. The hot tub was relaxing but the pool was a little on the chilly side. But the best part of being in the hot tub, was watching the snow fall outside. When it snows in Harrisburg or any part of P.A, it REALLY snows. We got a total of four inches that evening. Keep in mind, I HATE snow!

After the pool, we drove carefully in the snow to the Longhorn Steak House for dinner. Never been there before. I got the chicken tenders and fries. Yes I LOVE chicken. It was delicious. Even better, service was excellent.

That same night, we went to Sheetz for dessert. For those of you that don't know what Sheetz is, Sheetz is a mixture between a gas station, convenience store and a fast food place. One thing that they have that's new is an ice cream machine with different toppings to choose from. I got chocolate and vanilla with rainbow sprinkles. It was DELICIOUS! In my opinion I thought it was equal with Carvel.

On Sunday, my dad wasn't feeling well, so Victoria and Ryan picked us up at the hotel. We went to L.C.B.C which stands for Lancaster County Bible Church.

For Lunch we went to Chili's one of my favorite restaurants. I got grilled chicken with french fries. The portion was small but it was delicious. Service was slow but we had nowhere to go so it turned out to be fine.

After lunch we went to the Colosseum. The Colosseum is exactly like an adult Chucky Cheese. Where you can win tickets then use your tickets to get prices. It was so much fun. Downstairs they had bowling which was really a lot of fun. I love bowling. I came in third place.

The four of us drove to Ryan and Victoria's apartment. I love their two cats Aegon and Khaleesi. Not sure what breed Aegon is but Khaleesi is partially a Maine Coon. Everytime I used the bathroom, Khaleesi would meow and put her paw on my shoulder. I love cats.

We were invited to have dinner at Victoria's mom's house in Palmyra. So we drove down there. The baked chicken was delicious. I met her mom's four cats, and Victoria's Step dad's boxer Max. We also met her step dad's parents. In my opinion, they seemed like friendly people. Easy to talk to.

Victoria drove us back to the hotel and we went to Sheetz for dessert. I got the ice cream again cause it's my one and only time I get to eat that stuff.

For our last day, my parents and I went to Walmart in Palmyra. One of my favorite places to shop cause it's so cheap and plus we don't have it in New York. I got new pajams that say "Oh Sheep it's Monday" and a poster that says "Be Your Own Kind Of Beautiful" Ryan met us in Walmart then I went in his car as we drove to Funcks for lunch. Funcks is a family resturant. I've been there twice it's delicous.

At Funcks, I got chicken thighs with french fries which was delicious. The three of us drove back to Brooklyn. It was a nice weekend vacation. Happy I got to see my Ryan and Victoria.
