The Garden State.
Well, this past weekend was busy-busy! Last Thursday, I hung out with my cuz who I hadn’t seen in a while.
Then Friday, it was off to Montclair to pick up the rental car. A bit of a shlep, but worth the cheaper rental! Then it was off to Mt Laurel, where I chilled with some fam and stayed the night at my aunt & uncle’s lovely home. I got to have some great food, and did some shopping with my grandmom. All was good.
Saturday evening it was off to some old friends of my mom’s(since she was at college!). They were in Berlin, about 15 minutes away. We went to Outback, had yummy steak, and caught up. Afterwards I spent the night.
Sunday it was off to my old stomping grounds in South Jersey, in Egg Harbor Township. I met up with an old best friend of mine I hadn’t seen in almost 12 years…She has an ADORABLE little 2 year old daughter, who’s just as smart and outgoing as her mommy…After lunch, my friend gave me a quick tour of Atlantic City, and how much it’s changed. A LOT. All the crackheads that used to live there aren’t really there anymore, which is nice. But there are all these fancy outlets strips they put in right by all the casinos, which didn’t used to be there….Anywho, a lot had changed. Then it was back in the rental car to my friends’ place in Berlin, for some tasty BBQ dinner. Their son was over with his girlfriend too. I hadn’t seen him in a while, so we got to catch up. They took off that night, and I spent one more night there.
Then Monday I said goodbye and left early in the morning to get the rental car back. I was poooooooped! I got back to the city around midday.
All in all, it was a great trip. Though come to think of it, I didn’t get to have a cheesesteak…Damn!
