B-Sens Game!

So this week I pretty much discovered that spontaneous trips work ten times better for me than planning them. Just as long as I still have my list of places that I would like to go, which I still do, I can do whatever I want! I can only do this because my family is just as happy as I am about doing this project and it makes it easier for me to talk to them about it. On Friday my friend Gina and I went to the Binghamton Senators hockey game at the Arena in Binghamton and of course the best part of the game was seeing our most favorite teacher ever, Mrs. Krieger! We both had not been to a hockey game in years and it was honestly a blast. Even though we lost, just being with my family and friends, feeling all their cheerful vibes is what made it for me:) I look forward to these trips now even more than I have been now that I know how happy I feel while in there but most importantly how happy we ALL are after!

Snowmobiling!!

Today was my first time ever snowmobiling and I can honestly say it was the most fun I've ever had!! My dad and his work partner, Cory, skipped worked today just to take me out. We went up to Cory's house which is in Brackney, PA, and went on all the trails he had worn down in the woods and in big fields. It's a funny sight seeing 3 fully grown men play with their big powerful toys, actually it's hilarious but easy to join in on their lighthearted attitudes. It got really cold at one point and we made a pit-stop at Tall Pines in Montrose to warm up and grab some drinks then we were back at it again. Must have been out for hours because I am soooooo sore right now and what hurts the most is my hands which is a weird place to be sore if you ask me. All in all though, it was nice being happy and being with people I love for a day. Days like these just bring out the best in everyone and it's these moments that are irreplaceable and I wouldn't trade them for the world:)  Not to mention, it was absolutely gorgeous outside!

Playing With The Old Camera

Since the weather is going to be kinda crapy for a while, i might have to hold off on the snowmobiling for a while, maybe sometime this week i will go instead of this weekend. On that note i decided to play around with this old camera my stepmom has in the closet. The camera was her grandpfathers and it is absolutley gorgeous! But, i have no idea how to use it, at all! I don't even know how to open the back so i can put film in it lol, i have my work cut out for me. So i started playing around with it and decided i would actually have to read the manuel in order to know what im doing. A few hours in and i feel like a pro, until i actually go to take pictures and forget everything I had read, so i definatly have some work to do but i'm having fun doing it:)

Jotting Down Traveling Ideas...or Trying To At Least

So I am finally putting some decent work into my project and with doing that I am also discovering a few things:
1. I suck at planning a trip, and following an Itinerary
2. There are SOOO many things and places I can incorporate into my project: popular restaurants, malls, museums, etc.
3. Time is everything, especially when you have a busy schedule like mine.

I'm sure i could come up with more realizations but these three will do good for now. The first one is what I'm concerned for the most. I am looking up places to go online and such and they sound really good but I feel like I won't end up doing what i plan ahead for. My trips will probably end up being very spontaneous and thrilling! My dad, my step mom and I once took a spur of the moment trip once. We were supposed to be in Ocean City for a week but instead we stayed for 2 days and ended up just driving! We found ourselves in Delaware, D.C, other places in Maryland and then in Baltimore. It was the most fun we had ever had on a family get away!
