Labor Day Weekend

This Labor Day weekend was an unexpected one. I had absolutely nothing planned and it was all very spontaneous. Friday morning, I realized I had absolutely nothing better to do than to go to my parents' for the weekend. They live in Atlanta, and making that drive is not my favorite thing to do. I called my mom and asked her if it was alright if I came. She was shocked I had to ask. So I quickly packed and headed up there.
When I got home, my little brother told me that they just plugged up the Wii Fit and that he wants me to play with him. I decided that would be a great idea because I really do need to work out. Let me tell you, that thing WORKS! Friday night, my mom made a big dinner. I had my best friend, her husband, and their baby Elizabeth (who is my goddaughter) over. After that, I was totally exhausted and went to bed.
Saturday was a lazy day. Didn't do anything but go to the store, drive my little sister around, and play some more Wii Fit with my brother. By the end of Saturday, I was SO sore from it! Saturday night I watched Pitch Black with my parents. I thought it was a really dumb sci-fi movie at first, but the farther into the movie we watched, the better it got.
Sunday morning, my dad had plans to get up early and go to Savannah for the day. However, those plans changed because the whole house ended up waking up around noon, and it is a five hour drive to Savannah. I decided to look up prices for the Georgia Aquarium because we have no been there yet. When I looked at prices, I saw a joint ticket for the aquarium and an exhibit called Dialog in the Dark. I quickly looked up tickets for that instead and found that they were cheaper. As a group of six, we went to Atlantic Station to go to Dialog in the Dark. The exhibit is basically a day in a blind world. You do day to day things, such as walking in the park, going over a bridge, riding a boat, crossing the street, and ordering a soda all in complete pitch darkness. You can't even see an inch away from your eyes. When we got there, the workers gave us poles that blind people use to maneuver their way around. Surprisingly, this pole was my 'best friend' as the instructor promised it would be. It was definitely a unique experience that I think everyone needs to do at least once during their lifetime. It's amazing that a simple thing such as sight, which we obviously take for granted every day, is so heavily relied on every day. The world is a much different place in the dark.
Monday morning, I woke up and drove back to Macon. When I got back here, I studied for HOURS for my math test. Hope I did well =]
