As you can see by the handy-dandy date at the top, today is July 3rd, and we are going to be leaving for Illinois today! I will not tell you exactly where because I don't want people being creepy and coming to stalk me. :) Not that ANYONE on the internet would EVER do that. Hehe, okay, back on topic...
I'm soooo excited to be going! I only get to see this grandpa usually once a year, so I always get pumped to go. We will be there the 3rd through the 6th. I actually had my last class of Driver's Ed this morning, so we didn't get to leave as early as we wanted to, but that's okay!
I am going to be vlogging everyday while I am there, and I have already started Day 1's vlog for my YouTube channel! If you didn't know I have a YouTube channel called "Isaac's Page" where I post quite frequently. The vlogs will be four days late because I have no laptop so I will be editing the day I get home and posting them then. (Sorry about that.)
I will also be blog posting after each day is over, so you can read AND see what we do, and I will leave a link at the end of this post when the vlog that corresponds with the day is uploaded. I believe I can edit these after I post them so you'll be able to watch the videos. The blog posts will be up the same night as the day happened, cause I can type up a post quick on my phone. I want to tell you some highlights of the day and just random stuff that I happen to think about while I type up the posts.
Alright, enough with the long introduction, now here'e what happened today!!!
July 3rd, the first day...
Well I had to go to my last driver's ed class this morning at 7:00, so I was up early and on my bike and at class. I came back home to find my mom had slept in (cause she had worked late the previous night) and she had nothing packed. So we bustled about trying to get stuff done and finally got on the road to Peoria at 12:43 pm.
My mom drove for the first 2 and a half hours or so, and then I got to drive for awhile. It was very scary to be driving on a busy interstate. After a while I was too nervous and scared so my mom took back over.
We came into Peoria about 6:00 pm, and spent a few minutes at my grandpa's house saying hellos and catching up.
A while after that we went to Olive Garden for dinner, and had a lovely time eating dinner and talking about the past 2 years and what have been happening.
After dinner we came back to my grandpa's house and had a piece of cake that I made.
It was supposed to look like an American flag...it sorta did...
It was really good and was fun to see them enjoying it too. We talked a lot and played ball with my cousins.
Right now I'm laying in the hotel room watching some creepy murder investigator show...ugh.
Tomorrow we're doing some cool stuff so come back tomorrow for a Five Favorite Photos Friday and Illinois Trip Day 2 blog posts!
