I can't wait to go on vacation! It is now my summer break from school and we are planning a big road trip in a few days. We make our road trips annually every summer but this one is special. Our destination is Erie, Pennsylvania. We are having a family reunion, the first after a long, 16-year hiatus!
My immediate family typically goes to Erie at least once a year, and most of our summer vacations have been there. Normally at least one night of our stay consists of a huge get together at someone's house with our extended family, the majority of whom live in Erie. What marks the difference between that and this year's family reunion is that many family members (besides us, of course!) from far outside the Erie city limits will be attending.
Not only that, but it will be held at Camp Sherwin, a old favorite gathering place for our family. Camp Sherwin is a YMCA-owned campsite in the Erie area, and it holds so many memories for me! I have been to the camp almost every Labor Day weekend since I was born, so it's bound to be another great experience. I have so many stories of Camp that I want to blog about, but I promise to make that the topic a future entry.
Next comes part 2 of my vacation: after the family reunion I'm going back to Detroit to visit friends. I have known most of my old pals from Daytwa since I was in diapers and this will be the first time in SIX YEARS that I will have the chance to see any of them! This is going to be awesome and we will be able to have a reunion of our own! I wonder how much they have changed. We've kept in contact with each other via Facebook, but I can't wait so see them in person.
I'll take lots of pictures and blog some more about the trip when I get back, but for now patience is truly a virtue!
