2nd blog from america

so it's Sunday morning (6.20am my time) and I'm up and about but still tired!
went to bed early and everything coz the jetlag was catching up with me so I have slept about 8 hours which is good but it still doesn't feel like enough!

ah well...I've had periods of time before when I've felt tired all the time and kept going (exams, gap year, new wine, holiday club) unfortunately being on summer holiday the last 2 months has spoilt me in terms of sleep (10-12 hours a night normally) so this doesn't feel like enough!

since I'm up I phoned home but got no reply, found a facebook message saying Mum was taking Hannah driving after church so will try again in a bit!
Flying yesterday was amazing! we flew to Ocean City which is gorgeous, it's where I want to retire to when I'm older! Right by the beach, beautiful big houses...
we stopped for brunch at the diner at the airport...this is the one thing that America does that England doesn't...big breakfast diners! We all had huge breakfasts...yummy yummy...then walked about 5 minutes to the coast and walked barefoot along the beach, sun was out...it was beautiful! Then we walked back (I walked back barefoot to the airport coz I had sand on my feet...this resulted in blisters! but I was amused that you can walk along the sidewalk without shoes on, you can't do that in England- too much risk of glass!) and flew up the coast which was gorgeous, you can see some places that have houses right by the beach and also back onto a lake so they have boats too! That's the way to live!

We flew up the coast to New York and then flew up the Hudsone River and back down again...now that is the way to see New York!!! done it before and its just as beautiful as I remember. You have to fly below 1100 feet (i think!) so you're below some of the skyscrapers!
Then we flew back :) now along this trip, PJ got a chance to fly the plane and he was good! He flew us up the coast and then after the New York bit (which Colin did!) he flew us practically all the way home! Colin was impressed and I was too...of course he now wants a plane!!!

Then we spent the evening hanging out at the Miller's house with Angie, Colin and a family friend of theirs Jess, who's about my age, who is lovely. PJ, Jess and I played cut-throat pool which was alot of fun. But I couldn't keep going much past 9.30 and crashed into bed!

Today we are going to church and then going for lunch at the tavern where Elliot works which'll be fun :) before heading into Philadelphia to see the sights and have a look around, maybe see some rowing and maybe have dinner there. Should be fun :)

That's all for now folks, am going to check facebook, watch some TV, have some breakfast, have a shower, phone home and then go to church! Since it's 6.30 and church isn't until 9am, I have plenty of time!

Much love xxx
