Another busy weekend

Julia came and picked me up Saturday morning a little before nine. We drove to Rich house to pack all our stuff in his car and then head to Rehoboth Beach, DE. It started out pretty good and we stopped at Dunkin Donuts for breakfast on the way down. They have a pretty new thing there now that is kinda like a slushy and it is so good!!! The strawberry one is definitely the best one! We got to the beach a little before none, so pretty late and there for hard to find a parking space. We find one after a while and everybody get out of the car. As lucky as I was I had my stuff in the back seat and got my stuff out. Bc it's now it's starting to go down hill a little. I walk up to the meter to put in a couple of quarters and I realize the meter is broken. Rich then has to move his car... but wait who closed the door? All doors was closed and locked... and where were the keys? yeah of course, they were inside the car! Luckily Rich left the window open (about 1 cm down). We tried, with a bunsh of different sticks, to push the button in the car that locks and unlocks the doors. But for some reason it didn't want to work. He then realizes that the windows he has in the roof is not locked and we might be able to open them up and that way we can get the keys. It took us about 10 minutes but we did it!! We got in to the car!! Man, what a reliefe! We got our stuff out of the car and walked down to the beach.

After an hour or two we decided to go boogie boarding. Doesn't that sounds like fun? The waves were great. They were pretty "big", big for being Rehoboth, so it were going to be easy for a beginner like me. Me julia and Rich all go out in the water with our boogie boards. I were actually doing pretty good and we all had a great time. Most of the time it was one big wave and then 5 or 6 small ones. I rode one wave in but I fell off. No problem, it's just to get up again and start over. But, I had the rope from the boogie board around my wrist so when the current pulled the boogie board out in the water again I couldn't get up and run up on land to save myself. Of course this time it wasn't one big wave and then a couple of small ones, it was 5 or 6 big ones coming in after my wave. They tossed me around pretty good and man it hurt! So now I have scrapes on my right hip/back/thigh, on the middle of my back, my left shoulder, my arms and my knees. It's not hurting as much anymore... I didnt realize I got hurt bc it didnt hurt when I finally made it out of the water. Rich was the one that saw it. After this we stayed another couple of hours on the beach before we headed to the outlets and then back to Rich house.

We woke up early Sunday morning, bc me, Julia, Rich, Lisa and Teresa (Rich sister and mom) were gonna go to The National Aquarium in Baltimore. We stopped at Dunkin Donuts today too for breakfast. We had tickets to get in to the aquarium at 10.30 but we didnt get there until 11 bc of traffic. We started out with seeing the dolphin show and it was great. Then we walked around the rest of the aquarium before we ended with seeing planet earth as a 4D movie, and that was cool!!!! We spent a couple of hours walking around Baltimore and I bought another Hard Roch Cafe shirt =) We even got to paddle the dragon boats.

It was a weekend filled with a lot of fun!

Hej. Låter som en mysig weekend. Men jag tror att du ska låta bli vågorna i fortsättningen. Paddling verkar vara lugnare. :D

Jag har en sådan bräda hemma, men tyvärr kan man ju aldrig använda den här. Smart att glömma nycklarna i bilen, ännu smartare att ta sig in utan nycklarna. :)
