My Trip To Jersey

Last weekend I was in New Jersey. Those of you who have been following my work since at least last summer know how close I am to my family there. My trip was great, and I didn't want to come back to Florida. So without further a due, a summary of my trip.


I left on Thursday the 22nd. We got there at about 10 PM. From there we headed of to Queens, New York to visit the house distant family member who just passed away. I never knew the person, so I wasn't really affected, but my condolences went out to those who were. From there we headed off to probably one of my favorite parts in Jersey, Cliffside Park. I spent the night in one of my cousins house. And thats pretty much it. Nothing really happened that day since we got there so late.


Friday morning, my mom picked us up to go to Union City to see my grandma. We were at her house for a while before we headed off to walk down Bergenline Avenue. That street is basically the main street. After we got back, my aunt who I haven't seen in years picked us up to go to her house in Little Ferry. We stayed there for a few hours to surprise my cousin, her son, who I also haven't seen in years. After that, my cousins from Cliffside and I headed off to my other aunts house in Union City where we stayed the night.


Saturday morning, we all had to wake up relatively early to head back to Cliffside Park and get ready for my cousin's 18th birthday party. Nothing really eventful happened between the time we woke up and the time the party started, except that it started raining like crazy. If that counts. We're at the party, my cousins and I are sitting at the head table. Now this part you might know of if you follow me on Twitter. I go up to the entrance of the room to go look at something, when a.... "friend" walks in. I actually froze up, to know why, go look through twitter and find out. (*Cough* Hint: http://twitter.com/periahdark/status/5134036687 *cough*) If you guys didn't get what I meant there, then you are pretty oblivious. If you really need to know, contact me somehow and I'll tell you. Anyway, after the party, we went on a party bus to New York. Times Square to be exact. Around 4 AM we went back to Union City and knocked out for the night.


Sunday was a pretty good day, it was the day before we left. So, we went to Manhattan to walk around. It was only my cousin from Little Ferry and I. Oh and of course my parents and sister and her friend. But as for my cousins, it was only him. We walked from 8th Avenue, past Central Park, to the 5th Avenue glass, flagship Apple Store. There I played with the new iMacs and the Magic Mouse. I loved them both. After that, we started heading back to 8th Avenue to take a bus back to Union City. We stopped by a pizza place first though. A visit to New York wouldn't be complete without some New York pizza.


Monday is here, it's almost time to leave. We wen't to Cliffside, said our good byes to our cousins there. Unfortunately I wasn't able to, not only not say bye to my friend, but also not spend time with her at all besides the party....spend time with her and the rest of the family of course..hehe..ahem. I told my cousin to tell her good bye on by behalf, then we headed back to Queens for a funeral. From Queens we said good bye to everyone else and headed to the airport. We boarded, we landed, and then we went home. Of course I was sad that I had to leave. It was nice to be back in my own bed though.


And that's it, that was my trip to Jersey in a nutshell....a pretty big nutshell. Thanks for reading everyone, now I got to go take measures to make sure certain parts of this post aren't seen by certain people. Haha.
