Vaca

Vacation Journal *Caution! Not every sentence in this post is correct. I did not get the chance to write every day and got some thing messed up. Sorry*

Driving Day 1:

We left at 4:50 A.M. We were going to leave at 4:30 but no alarms went off and I, the one how sleeps till noon, had to get everyone up. We drove from Maine to Virginia. It took us 19 minutes and 39 seconds to drive through Delaware. We'll try to beat that time on the way back. We ate at a Cracker Barrel for dinner and fast food places for breakfast and lunch. I sat in a car for about 16 hours and wasn't bored.

Driving Day 2:

Slept in somewhat. Played nintendo. Read. Listened to music. Saw some cows. Got to Hilton Head, South Carolina. Swam in pool. Ate ice cream. Went to bed.

Vacation Day 1:

It's 3:27 P.M. Woke up at 7:50 but got up at 8:3o. After my breakfast of Frosted Flakes I got a bike. (In Hilton Head a lot of people ride bikes instead of cars. Plus, with all the eating out you need the exercise.) It is red. So far today I have seen

• 8 Dogs
  
• 7 Squirrels
• 4 Crows
• 9 Sparrows
• 4 Geckos
  
• 2 Turtles
  
• 2 Baby alligators
• 5 Egrets
• 34 Blue Heron
  
• 1 Lizard
• 2 Blue Jays
• 1 Morning Doves
• 3 Dolphins
• And various digress of sea gulls, crabs, horses, and other animals.

The place we are staying in is nice. It has a pool and shuffle board. I'm sharing a room with my brother. I might post more after dinner.
Later... One Hot Mama was our culinary provider. It was okay. Read Nightmare's Edge. Finally got it!!!!

Vacation Day 2:

Another bowl of the frosted stuff. Swam in a pool. Swam in the ocean... I'm writing this on Day Four so I'll just skip to dinner. We ate at Fudd Ruckers. That's where you can get hot dogs as long as your arm and a hamburger as big as my brother's head.* MY DADDY SAID SO!!!! :) Than you take them to a salad bar and load them up with whatever. Good night.

Vacation Day 3:

Mommy's day. We road our bikes to a cafe. French toast is good. After the cafe we road to The Salty Dog. Saw some birds. Pictures"My Maltis is smarter than your honor student." Back to the ocean! I walked down the beach with my Dad. We got to see dolphins fishing 30 feet away from us. After about a mile we were going to turn back but, as always, we went just a little further to see what we would have missed. I found some shells and all was normal but than.... da da DAAAA!!!! I saw a minnow... AND THEN THE SAND TURNED GOLD AND THERE WOULD BE ONE ORE TWO BABY CLAMS AND YOU WOULD LET THE OCEAN WASH A LITTLE SAND AWAY AND THERE WOULD BE, LITERALLY, HUNDREDS OF THEM IN THAT ONE LITTLE SPOT!!!!!!!!!! Then we walk the one-and-a-half two-ish miles back. I started reading The Christmas Sweater by Glen Beck. I read a little too long and got a bad sun burn on my legs. Got some gel that made it worse. Laid a wet towel over my legs till about 10:00 P.M. Still reading The Christmas Sweater. Dream.

Vacation Day 4:

We drove to Savannah, Georgia to look at graves. Here's a video of two cool ones. Sorry about the quality. No batteries. If anyone can't read what the graves say and wants to know just tell me in a E-mail or comment. Click the "Contact Me"button to send me an E-mail Click here for pics.

The graveyard was cool. Big tree covered in Spanish moss were everywhere. It was like a scene strait out of Tortuga's graveyard. (Pirates of the Caribbean Online) Minus the skeleton grave robbers. I found a palm tree seed so I get to plant it back home. It will probably die in Maine though. ;p Random: Apparently restrooms in grave yards are called "man buildings" Drove around Georgia. Finished The Christmas Sweater than had dinner. The food at Five Guys was cool. Simple yet great. Swam in the pool a little and now I'm writing this... day three...two and part of one. Yeah. 9:46 P.M. Jacob signing off.

Vacation Day 5:

I got up early today. Before eight. EIGHT!!! Yeah, well, anyway. I got up early so I could play tennis. I did pretty good for my first time. Won a couple games made some good plays. Took a bike ride. Pics Good night this is a long post for me. Didn't really want to go to the ocean today so I just swam in the pool and played shuffle board. Now I'm typing this and working on photo stuff. I hope my grandfather and his friends will want to play pitch tonight. If not I can always play black jack with sis. Wow I have a lot of books to read. White, Boneman's Daughters, Blink, Nightmare's Edge, and of course the Bible. Where did my watch go? Hhmmmm... It's 3:43. I've been on the computer long enough. Good day dear reader.
Later: Wow! I just got back from a bike ride. There was a HUGE gator right next to me. Literally, like, 10 feet away. Oh yeah, I also added a guest book to my home page. Goodnight.

Vacation Day 6:

Well, today was a lot like yesterday. Played tennis. Went to the beach. My dad found an ear-ring, a key, and I found a big shell. It's all a blur.

Vacation Day 7:

Today is my last day in Hilton Head, South Carolina so we tried to do it all. We ate at the bakery, played tennis, went to a pool, went to the beach, had pizza. I'm tired. I get to go home and see my dog.

Driving Day 3:

Time seems to lose it's meaning in the car. I step in than sit for hours, reading, resting, thinking. All I do is sit. For 12 hours a day. Just sit. And read. And think.

Driving Day 4:

Cool day. I saw the Washington monument, the Pentagon, Charm City Cakes, and I saw home. We didn't beat our time going through Delaware but at 11:30 I was in my bed again. Cool! My friend just got back for vaca too! Click Here to see his blog post.

Well this is the longest post in the history of The Insanity of a Homeschooler blog. Go thing I forgot what I wanted to say... Sad ending I guess. Or maybe you're glad I forgot. Less reading for you. Oh well, I have a book to finish and a church to go to. So comes the end of a vaca in the life of an insane homeschooler. ~Jacob

Song of the WoM-ish #5

This is just a beautiful song. Period. ... Bold period. That's pretty much it for the song, except for the song in itself. But I do have some news. I'M GOING ON VACATION!!! I'll be going to South Carolina and I will be blogging about my stay... bye *hangs up the phone* My posts have been short lately... maybe it's all the testing. ~Jacob

I think that's all to report... yeah... ~Jacob

Nothing

Hhmmm... I haven't posted in a while. Not much to post about... I went to my drum lesson and recorded some stuff. I guess that makes me a recording artist. My sister bought some parakeets. One girl, Lilly, and one boy, Gonzo. (Rapture!!!) My grandparents came up from New York to visit. Same old same old... yeah... Forum crashed... got to get that back up. Have to find a Song of the WoM-ish. Have a bunch of homework. Getting ready to go on vacation. Well, I'd like to sit here for the next three hours but I have to go to church. (PUPPETS!!! :D) Bye people.
P.S. Check out the new widget. MONKEY!!! ~Jacob
