Texas Bound part 3

Obviously, you aren't getting the full story on my trip here, but if you know me then you'll probably hear about all the key events later.

Anyway, here's today's "letter"

Dear everybody,

The other night my cousin got sick so I had the whole room to myself...and I ended up thinking a lot about you guys. Well...really only a few people in particular stuck out in my mind and I realized that I wasn't missing everybody back in Poughkeepsie...well I missed maybe 10 people (exactly 10 people not one more or one less) and I'm not going to make a list of people because the people who aren't on the list would be upset, and the people who are actually on the list would gloat. Anyway, so when I woke up the next morning I jumped in the shower, got dressed, ate breakfast and ran out of the house to go Black Friday shopping.

Now, as we all know shopping on Black Friday is hectic, I imagined it to be like it is in New York. People fighting over the last thing on the shelf and sleeping outside the mall at midnight. And since I left around 9:30-10:00, I expected to be fighting the crowds.
Was I wrong or what?

As I passed by some stores on the road, I noticed that the parking lots were borderline empty, and then I got to the closest mall (45 minutes away from my aunt and uncle's house) and there were plenty of parking spaces. It wasn't even that crowded in the stores! Actually, that's a lie, it got more crowded just as we were leaving so instead of going to get fast food like we had originally planned, we stopped at a hot dog stand right in the parking lot.

So we ate our hot dogs in the car and rushed to the museum to see the movie "Polar Express" in 3-D. The movie was okay, it was sort of boring but it was interesting watching the train ride in 3-D. It was after the movie that interested me, we went to the #1 bookstore in America (in the year 2005) and the people who worked there were amazing! One person who worked there gave me so many recommendations for books, I couldn't choose what books to buy with the money I had! I ended up only getting 2 books out of the 10 books I had originally picked out, and now I owe my parents $10 because of the money I borrowed from them to get my books, and since Wren's birthday is tomorrow, I figure I'd give her the bag from the bookstore.

So after the bookstore my whole family headed to the restaurant to eat dinner, I had chili and some of my brother's chicken while telling my family all about you guys...okay not all about every one of you but about a couple of you. Really I was just talking about how Frank and George were the craziest people I know right now. After dinner we went to the grocery store, well my parents, brother and I sat in the car while everybody else went to get banana's for desert. (Isn't that what George wanted from Texas?)

So, here I am now! In front of my computer listening to music, while typing up this letter so you guys know what I have been doing in Texas. Today ends the Texas Bound letters because at this time tomorrow, I'll be back at home relaxing after eating at my favorite restaurant. I'll miss Texas, but I'd probably miss it more if it were warmer here in Texas than it is in New York.

Missing 10 of you,

A
