IT'S DAY 3 OF MY 2019 FEBRUARY VACATION!

By
You're probably wondering, where's DAY 2? Well, let's just say that Day 2, was a snow day! We went nowhere! And so, Day 2 was not noteworthy for a blog post. So we're skipping Day 2 and going straight to Day 3. What happened today: (2/19/19) We had plans to go to Berkshire East. That would've been a lot of fun. However, by the time we even got to the exit for Berkshire East, it was like an hour before they closed. So we decided to do that tomorrow (2/20/19) and went to Yankee Candle instead. That was good, but it could've been better due to me almost losing my diabetes kit. (Luckily, it was in the car!) Now, I've had some good experiences with Yankee Candle in the past, especially in 2013. Now, a little flashback to Nov 30, 2013:

Mom and I visited Yankee Candle on Nov 30, 2013. When we got there, it was a cold morning and we watched Santa come down from the sky. That was fun! And then, we had some good food and sweets, lots of fun, and a little Candy Crush mixed in (😐😐😐) We also decided to try to get my photo taken with Santa at Yankee Candle. However, there was a, get this, 4 HOUR WAIT. That's a stupidly long wait! So we decided to get them taken at the Holyoke Mall. It was like a 15 minute wait there and that was a lot better. In fact, I still had the photo as of February 2018, and used it in the first trailer of My High School Years. Now to the 2019 visit: We went through the whole place, the home section, candy section, (Yankee Candy) toy section, (Santa's Workshop) auditorium/fake concert/confectionery section, and the candle section obviously! I mean, the name is Yankee CANDLE after all!


This was where the STUPIDLY long wait of 4 HOURS was for photos of Santa back in November 2013; it is now a warehouse in February 2019!


Yankee Candle Village!


What a beautiful holiday scene!

It was a VERY fun day!

Happy June! Aren't you glad that school is almost over? (or already is if you are in college) My last day of school is June 24th! Summer is just around the corner! I'm very sorry I haven't posted lately, and that's just because it takes a lot of time to do a blog post, and I haven't had much time lately. But I want to start June on a nice note and start blog posting again! So, here's what I did yesterday, May 31 2019: I went to Chuck E Cheese! I have not been there since Dec 12 2015! (my 12th birthday) We went to support Mom's school that she works at, and I had a semi-good time. Unfortunately, the arcade was not the best time, but also not the worst. It's just because the jackpots were very low, and the arcade only had like 20 games, and the fact that most were kid-themed games. (like Paw Patrol) I had a good time on some of the games, but like I said, the jackpots were very low (but that's only because little kids can't comprehend big jackpo...

My High School Years: Episode II (9/14/18)

This is SEASON 1 EPISODE 2. Summary: I went to a tag sale and found a 2000s relic: A 1GB MEMORY CARD! I also went with Dad to Holyoke Mall to eat, and I also went to Holyoke Mall to get Melanie's new phone! Believe it or not, this was the last week that they sold the iPhone X; see my post about that  here . I also went to River Valley Market, and that was fun. I went to the YMCA to pick up Melanie. I went to the dentist, which was a quick 10 minutes and EASY. I also went to Kisara. Seen this episode? Check out  S1 E3 ! Updated 2/18/19.
