FINE TAKE YOUR BANANA.

hello, hello.
today was my one planned vacation of the summer. woo. for one day of vacationing.
I legit took it as a vacation day and thought of nothing. well i mean i thought of things but everything had to do with me being on vacation. :)
So i woke up at 6:30 in the morning. i was like...it cannot possibly be time to get up. but it was. so i did.
My youngest brother was crabby..he hates when we make him go places and we dont tell him where because if we tell him he refuses to go. it's this endless cycle...
anyways he was Mr. Crabbypants.
such a hater.
so we made him get in the car he brought his pillow and he tried to sleep but after like thirty minutes he complained about being hungry, and nauseous.
We finally told him we were going to the Herr's Chip Factory. and he was all. i don't want to go there. blah blahblah.
we just ignored him basically. haha
we arrived at Herr's at 9, went in, went and watched this movie in the theater learning about the factory and business how it came to be. you know things like that. It was pry the most informational but lamest video ever. Chipper the woodchuck or something kept making comments and randomly appearing in the video... i was like umm...?
it finished and we headed out on the tour. Our tour guides name was Scott. he was really funny, at each stop we made on the tour he made at least one joke, i appreciated it greatly, because that meant it wasn't boring :)
we saw how the pretzels were made, the chips, the corn chips and how they are packaged, it was cool. at the one part when we see them make chips he went in and got us FRESH chips... like so fresh that three minutes before they had been potatoes.
yes.
they were amazingly good. I mean everything is better when it's fresh!
They only ship the Herr's snack foods from like Maine to Florida and west to Ohio I think but Scott said you can go on their website and they will ship them to anywhere in the world. then he proceeded to say "what can brown do for you"
i was like...what. then i got it. UPS. haha funny stuff. man.
Also in each part of the tour he would say how much the tub weighed or something and he would be like "and since i know your wondering that's equivalent to... two baby elephants, (another time was) a baby hippo, (and another time was) a wild zebra)
i was like...bahahah.
at the part where they talk about potatoes he said they send the rotten potatoes to frito lay.
lmao..
it was very very interesting. and even though at first i was like seriously mom. a chip factory?. i'm glad we went.
plus we got free chips! yay! haha
at the end we had to fill out a survey if at the end of the year they pick your family's survey you get a free years supply of chips!
although i ate so many chips today...that i really dont' think i could eat any more for awhile.
another funny thing he said was about the survey too he was like if you liked the survey my name is scott, if you didn't put down ryan, he's the new guy.
hahah.
seriously though if you ever get the time to you should deffffffffffff check it out, i mean if you're in southern PA. near the Herr's Snack food factory lol
:)
after that we headed out to hit the beach. we got to the beach, ocean city, New Jersey, at like 12:30 it was great. seriously i love the smell of the beach. so yummy. of course my little brother freaked out and he was like i hate the beach. i hate sand. i hate.hate.hate.
such an angry child. we hit the beach.
it was nice. i like to people watch, it's always interesting watching other people. Plus the beach is only fun if you have someone to go in the water with you. but since angry child refused to do that, and my mom doesn't like salt water i was like. okay then. so i went in by myself for a bit. and then we left to hit the boards.
umm.
don't park in front of the sidewalk that is painted yellow.
so we hit the boards, seriously SOOOO much cool jewelry is down at the shore. it's redonculous. i mean i dont' wear that much jewelry but i liked looking at it all, i saw this one bracelet. totes made me think of demi. but it was locked away in a case and i couldnt see the price. sad.face.
haha.
we ate lunch/dinner/the only legit meal of the day at Stewart's root beer restaurant. it was very good. umm walked the entire boards. saw many things that made me laugh. such an interesting place. you know?
Got an orange sherbet frozen custard had them dip it in chocolate. it was amazing. it melted SOOOO fast though and i couldn't eat it fast enough...seriously got it all over myself and the ground...i even got it on my brother haha.
whooo btw at the end decided this trip wasn't that bad. he actually enjoyed the chip factory and the boards.
this always happens.
oh so then we walked back to the car and my mom realized she locked her keys in their.
yup.
both sets.
which means her spare keys were in there too. very convenient right?
had to call AAA waited like 20-30 mins. they finally got there. took them like thirty seconds then off we went home. :)
it was a very long but enjoyable day.
i'm so tired now. i also am positive i got a lot of sun lol.
it's cool yo.
well night lovely people.
