Back from a Wonderful Vacation.

I went on vacation this last weekend, and had such a good time!
I learned that I have a love-hate relationship with shopping.
I spend money, which I hate doing, but I love what I buy.

I also learned that visiting family is really the best thing a person should ever do.
Do it now! 
Go drive somewhere and meet your relatives!
And family history is not boring, but one of the most exciting things to research!

When I grow up, which is I don't know when...I want to travel the world, find all my relatives, whether distant or close, and meet with them.  That's my dream.  And along the way I can take a lot of pictures, which are also my passion.

I traveled with my two sisters and my mother.  We stayed with Grandma, (My mom's mother) and Grandpa.  We also visited my other Grandpa Nelson.  I have the best grandparents in the world!  ...Who plant the best flowers.  I will post pictures immediately tomorrow.  When its not so late at night.  We visited my mother's half sister, named Tricia.  We met up with her whole family, which was great!  We have been at the same places in swimming events, and didn't even know it until just recently!  On our way out of town, we visited my mom's cousin Jerry, and her Auntie.  Somehow...we are related to them.  I had many great experiences this weekend, and they all inspired me to organize my family tree, and get to know all of my family while I am young.

Before this trip, I had absolutely no idea that I had so much family!  They are EVERYWHERE!  And I don't care how distant we are (in relations)..it doesn't matter because it's so fun to c o n n e c t with family and learn about where you came from and who you are linked to.

If you don't know where much of your family comes from, I highly recommend researching it online.  The internet and google are amazing, use them to the best of your abilities.

Farewell and goodnight.
Enjoy your family time...(really).

PS..I also have scottish, swiss, and lots of english in me! and other things I forgot.
