Reunion

August 17, Sunday: My sister and family arrived in the morning. We picked them up from Newark Penn Station, then had breakfast at a nearby diner. Spent the day in the house (^_^)

August 18, Monday: Picked-up the rental at 7.30am, then drove to Six Flags Great Adventure a little past 8am. Went to the Wild Safari first, then to Great Adventure. Wasn't able to ride any thrill rides coz nobody wanted to ride with me (-_-). What they went on was the go-kart and the 3-D simulator. The 3 of us went on a family friendly coaster and the carousel. Won a lot of prizes with the games though (^_^) At past 7, we started our drive back but instead of going home, we went to Minado for dinner.


August 19, Tuesday: My sister and her kids plus Jojo and I went to NY today (Finn was left behind with his grandma coz they didn't want to leave). We had lunch at Yoshinoya then walked to Kinokuniya Bookstore where I was able to buy a Beijing phone charm (BeiBei) and then to Image Anime where we bought Finn a 1-up mushroom keychain. We took the subway back to Port Authority where we had a snack before catching the bus home.

August 20, Wednesday: We played Wii at home (^_^). Jojo and I left to go to church before 7pm, then went straight to JFK airport after the service to pick up my brother and his family. When we got home before midnight, Jojo cooked some meatballs for our midnight snack.

August 21, Thursday: First in our IT is to go to the Empire State Building. Had lunch at Sbarro after, then took the subway to Central Park. Watched a few street performers there, walked around, took tons of photos, then took the subway to Chinatown to have some very tasty congee. Took the subway back to Port Authority, then the bus home.


August 22, Friday: Went to Battery Park in NYC to take the ferry to Liberty and Ellis Islands. Went to Nintendo World afterwards, walked around Rockefeller Plaza, then walked back to 42nd St. where we had dinner at Yoshinoya. Took the bus home.


August 23, Saturday: Jojo and I accompanied my bro and his wife to Costco and 5 Below to buy some stuff. We stopped by White Castle to buy a crave case for our lunch back home. At around 3pm, my siblings and I, together with my mom, went to our aunt's house. Stayed there for about an hour. When we got back, my sis started packing already. Jojo took them to Newark Penn Station before 6pm.

August 24, Sunday: After church early in the morning, we borrowed our friend's car so that we can all go to Jersey Gardens. Did some shopping there where we got all excited in KB Toys coz they were on sale. Was also able to buy Mario Kart in Game Stop (^_^) We then went back to 5 Below. After all that shopping, they had to start packing already since their flight back is tonight. Jojo took them to JFK airport after 6pm.

So now it's quiet, and it feels spacious in our apartment. We miss them already. Till next year!
