OK, all these pics are from my vacation in Wildwood, NJ. As you can see, it took place in July, between the 16 and the 23rd, of 1999. My family went (me, my mom Michelle, my dad Tony, my sister Melanny), as well as my cousin's family (Nick, Angela, Austin, Aunt Adele, Uncle Johnny). We had a blast, and it was really fun. There's 21 pictures below, so.....give it time, trust me!!!
Here I am standing in the ocean. This was the second to last day there. It took me THAT long to get into the ocean. There were SO many jellyfish. Ew.
Here I am, brushing my teeth. Sorry about how dark it is. My sister took the pic. She's new to cameras. *s*
This is, like, basically Nick's family. His mom, Adele. His dad, Johnny. Me right above Nick's nephew, Austin. Angela, who is Austin's mom. And then my sister, Mel.
OK, this is me after I got a shower, which is why my hair is such a mess, okay? Give me a break! Yeesh! And as you can tell, I'm MAJORLY sunburned!! OUCH!
This is from the last night at Wildwood. The next morning we left. I was kinda sad, so that's why I look a little forlorn. *s* I'm on the sundeck on the third floor. We stayed on the fifth. Wow, it was high.
Here I am standing on the boardwalk with my PURPLE Cape May sweatshirt hanging over my shoulders. This is, like, my favorite outfit. Which I ruined, ironing. Hey! Give me a break! I'd never ironed anything before! How was I supposed to know if you iron over the JNCO thing it melts?!
OK. I'm in an elevator, obviously. And I'm cowering in a corner for good reason. The stupid elevator was freakin' broken! When it stopped on the floor you're getting off, the darn thing bounced! Yeah! Up and down! And not just slightly! A LOT! The first time I got on it I nearly cried. *shivers*
Well, this is me listening to headphones looking like an idiot. OK, whoever took the picture was an idiot. Probably Mel.
I don't know why this picture is red at the top. Probably another Mel picture. Oh well. I'm on the boardwalk again. In my favorite, now-ruined outfit.
This is me bending down in sand while Nick gathers some up for a friend back home. This was, like, the last night we were there, too. It was all kinda sad, I guess. The beach is SO romantic at night. I vowed that night that, once I find my soulmate, we're going there and walking on the beach at night.
Here I am being psychotic. It was, like, 3 in the morning, last night we were gonna be in Wildwood, and Nick and I were just about to go back up to our rooms. I was kinda sad, and I dunno. I just got up on the table and, like, stood, and Nick took a pic. Yeah.
This is me sun-charred. I was in SO much pain...do you KNOW what it feels like when your skin is on fire and feels like it's falling off? Yeah, I thought so. It hurt. Bad. *shivers* Bad memories.
Here I am. Take notice of my tanline where my watch should be, and around my belly. That's why my watch is off, and that's why I'm lifting my shirt up. Duh.
OK, here I am in a golden shirt, smiling. And it just dawned on me that my ear looks weird and the bottom of my face looks yellow. But that's all right, I guess.
Here I am, attempting to straddle a large fake palm tree. We stayed at the Royal Hawaiian. The palm trees are fake. Trust me. *l*
That's my sister Melanny on the far left, me behind my little second cousin Austin, and Austin's uncle (my cousin) Nick on the left. We buried Austin, who proceeded to stay buried. I kinda think he liked it, I dunno. He didn't like it on his face, however.
This pictures blurry. Again, the doing of Melanny. It's my mom Michelle, my dad Tony, and me in front of...I think the Pilot House, a restaurant in Cape May, which happened to be my LEAST favorite restaurant of the trip. Ew. *yuck*
Nick and his mom are short. That's why I look like I'm freakin' gigantic in this picture. Don't worry, though, I'm only 5'9", last time I checked. This is us on the beach that night that was our last in Wildwood. My aunt was hilarious that night. We had flashlights, and Nick and I kept shining them on people. We came across two people..um...well...being VERY close with each other...heh heh.
Here is Nick holding his little jar thing of sand that our friends wanted, and that's me standing next to him, again on the last night in Wildwood.
Obviously, this is Nick and me sitting on a lifeguard's chair tower thingy. It was really fun, but Nick was scared we were gonna get caught. I had a blast. Again, this was on the last night in town.
Again, last night. And we were going for the "Oh, no, someone is in the ocean at 2 in the morning drowning, and we have to jump off and save them" Personally, I couldn't get off the darn thing quick enough to save a drowning jellyfish (amazing how a je;llyfish could drown, but yeah..even more amazing...me wanting to SAVE one...God, how I hate those creatures)...
I hope you had as much fun looking at my pics from my vacation as I did DURING my vacation. Who am I kidding? You couldn't have!! I had a blast, and I'm glad I spent that week with my family and my aunt and uncle and cousins. They were all SO funny! Especially my aunt Adele! She CRACKS ME UP!! *s*
