I am just sitting here at work, thinking. So I thought i would blog blog blog.
I hate having time at work to sit and think, because I get frusturated thinking about all the things I need to get done but I can't because I have to be here until 5pm. I am the only one here today also, so I can't even leave to run errands like usual. Five o'clock is not coming fast enough.
After work I am going to rush over to the shoe store that my friends husband works at, and since he closes he is going to wait for me so I will HURRY out of here! Isn't that nice of him?
As you may know by reading my other blogs, I am going to Italy in 5 days. Every other year we take a big family trip somewhere. Every year in July we go to Cancun, just my little family (dad, mom, bro and sis) but on the big family trip it's always somewhere we haven't gone, with like 20 people. Two years ago we went to Belize, and before that we went to London, France and Belgium.
These are fun trips, but for anyone with a big family you will understand the chaos. On this trip to Italy it will be my parents, brother and sister, my grandparents, my uncle and family and other uncle and family and uncle's mother in law. That is going to 16 of us. Those are the ones I am sure of, but others could be showing up. I was left out of the planning emails.
Well, when we went on the London, France and Belgium trip it was my first time in Europe. Also the first for my immeadiate family, others had been. But there were 16 of us. We got 4 rental cars and there were 4 people to a car. Two adults and two children. The deal was you had to be in the same car ALWAYS, that way we knew no one was missing. Well, my uncle planned the trip, and he was sort of the "leader." I remember one day that we went to Normandy and while we were driving to the museum we got a bit lost. We could tell uncle was lost because at one point we came to a round-a-bout, and I remember driving around that thing like 20 times. Can you imagine, 4 cars just going around and around. My uncle was the only one with directions, eveyone else was just to follow, and thats what we did. We followed him around and around. It was funny, all of my cousins and I were waving at each other from across the circle. I have never seen my grandmother laugh so hard. Oh, American tourists!
Just thought I would share this funny memory. I am sure I'll have some good ones from Italy, now that my brother and I are of drinking age (according to Gma and Gpa, not standards in Europe) so we will have plenty of good stories.
