Family time is my favorite time.

On Friday, I took the megabus to the city to visit my sister, niece and brother in law. I could not concentrate at work and should have just taken the entire day off. When I arrived in the city they were waiting for me. They came with gifts of Starbucks iced green tea.

I sat in the back with my niece and she just stared at me probably wondering why I was acting all strange. I can’t help myself. I feel this major need to make her laugh but I have a feeling that she is too smart for my antics. She did crack a smile or two for me though.

For dinner we ordered Thai for takeout and went to my sister’s place. It was such a great night with them. My sister and I stayed up late and giggled and talked about nonsense. You know, only the things that you and your siblings will think is funny because for some reason y’all understand the “language”.

On Saturday, we went to Long Beach and it was the most perfect day. My brother in law had to work so it was just the girls. We filled a cooler with drinks, chicken and turkey subs from subway, chips from Trader Joes and bags filled with gummy bears, worms and liquid filled gummy bears.

When we got home we got Thai food again for takeout. I was trying to be cool and ordered my dinner extra spicy. Let’s just say that I regretted that decision as soon as I put the fork in my mouth. Woah. It hurt! You know it’s spicy when you can’t even taste the food. I left it for my sister since apparently she is a lot cooler than I am.

Sunday was another fun filled day which was spent in Brooklyn with our other sister. Since there are a million and one pictures in this post, I figure I’ll save Sunday’s events for my next post.

I hope you all had wonderful weekends! xoxo ♥
