A bunch of Fairmont pictures

trying things

I love going on vacation and getting to try new things. Like for the first time EVER today I tried Cinnabon( I have had a cinnimon roll, but not from cinnabon) and Godiva chocolate. That chocolate is amazing. I ate at the Cheese Cake Factory for the first time in my life. I tried a cuban sandwhich. I wore a flat cap. I also went to a bunch of stores I have never been too. Pad went on a lazy river for the first time in his life. I always love when people are like, "I went to Blahblahblah today." and I can be like, "I've already been there." I know it sounds like bragging but everyone likes that, right?

The other night we ate at a place called GrillFish. It was AMAZING!! I had macaroni and cheese, and it was the BEST! The bread they served was AWESOME! If you ever come here, you have to go there!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday night we ate at a place called Hostaria Romana. It was expensive and not that good. The picture with us at the red and white table is that place. The waiters were very friendly though. Tonight we are eating at Five Guys. The best burger place EVER!!!! The beach is right out the door. It is really nice, but the water is salty. the ocean water is like bath water, ~86 degrees. I have never been in an ocean that warm. well My hands hurt. Ill write later!

Because we're the Mangans

It all started out at 1:40 AM on Monday. I woke up to mom and dad talking. I went into their room Our flight had been cancelled at 11 that night. Mom had been on the phone for 2 hours while i was sleeping. I got up and asked them what time we had to leave. they said NOW. We had to drive to plattsburg, at 2 in the morning, from plattsburg to boston, boston to NY, NY to miami. There was a 6 hour layover in NY. BORING! Then we took a taxi and now we are here.Instead of going from burlington to detroit to miami. Mom just lost her 3.50 $ flip flops. All this happened because we are the Mangans. Nothing is ever right for us. There are no real grocery stores. There is a Walgreens, but a creepy hobo sits by the door so i am afraid to go there, and a CVS, which doesnt have real food. We walked for miles to find breakfast. We ended up getting a Krispy Kreme at CVS and a bagel at starbucks. Now to do it all over again. The pool and ocean water is hot, like a hot tub. Its not even really refreshing. They give you free M&M shots while you are sitting at the pool. Our hotel room has a door right to it, not even a elevator to get to it! It is super nice and I will post a video of it soon. We have eaten at starbucks, rosinellas, a french bakery and cafe and now i think a place called grill fish or something. My dad is here for work so for most the day it is just mom, pad and i. If you love to shop for clothes and bathingsuits, this is where to stay, no joke! There are so many clothing stores its amazing. Well, must go tell my family I am starving. Write later-LEX

Vacation

We are off to Miami in 3 days!!!!! I am so excited. I cant wait to go there! It will be nice to get away from the house and Vermont. I will miss cliffy though. Here is him, being his normal cute cuddly self! I just got this whole new idea to redo my room. I love change! I went shopping but didnt get much. I got a thing to hang over my door. A sign that says dance like no one is watching, a few magnets for all my magnetic boards, a water bottle and gifts for pad for his birthday. I want to paint it pink with white peace signs or just pink. Pink is the theme color of my room. I want to re-organize it, get a new desk, a big comfy chair and ya. Doubt all that will happen, but i have a dream. Haha.! Write while I am in FLORIDA! TTYL!

New Hampshire

I got to go down to New Hampshire with a great friend of mine on Thursday and I got back yesterday. Truth is, I wish I was still there cuz right now, I am watching Pad, which, let me tell you, is a job that you should get paid for. He is my brother so of course I dont get paid but he needs so much attention, when you try to do something alone constantly, I hear, "Lex do something with me" "Lex i want food" "Lex Im bored" Ey ye ye! If he had listening skills I wouldnt mind being here with him. Anyway, back to New Hampshire. It was so much fun. My friends dad knows a guy who has a house with a barn near it. The barn is brand new and is still being worked on. There is a loft thing upstairs and that is where we stayed. It was small but comforting. It was a two hour drive. We stayed in a place which is called Sugar Hill. When we got there, after word we went to the North American, famous, Polly's Pancake Parlor. It was soo good! I got chocolate chip pancakes. After we went to the lake to swim. Friday, we hung out and went to the information desk. We took Michaela (my friend)dog to the river to swim then we decided to go to the water park. There was an option of Buy after 3, Tomorrow free. We decided to that. So from 3-6 pm we went to THE WHALE'S TALE (BTW take the time to scroll all the way down and check out the Banzai Pipeline video. That was our favorite ride!) Saturday we went there too, because of our pass. After the day there we had dinner with the guy that owns the bahn. That is how he spells it. We were up until midnight playing airhockey and ping pong. I accidentally erased all my photos so I only have a few. Sunday, we woke up at 9:45 and went to Pollys again then we had one last stop. It was one we could not not go to. Chutters. The worlds longest candy counter, in Litlleton NH. 112 feet long counter filled of joy. I brought back my brother a gummy fried egg. They had some bizarre stuff! Then we headed home. Here are pictures of Chutters.
