Goin' to Virginia

I can't wait until this Tuesday (July 8th)!! Me, my little sister Jenny, and my mom are driving up to Arlington Virginia, which is only, like, two miles away from D.C. We used to live there, and sometimes I really miss it. We're going for ten days to visit my grandma, grandpa, aunt and uncle, their dog, my great-grandma, and our good friends, the Nuchos. I'm SO excited! We're making this scrapbook for my great-grandma (we call her Gropoopie-long story) because it's her birthday. We're giving her a big gift basket with all things that she loves- chocolate, balloons, our homemade scrapbook (which turned out amazingly good!), and a stuffed duck named David. When Gropoopie was in her twenties, she owned a real duck named David, that used to cuddle up with her a snuggle her (adorable! right?). We got her the Webkinz duck 'cause it's really cute and soft. She doesn't know what webkinz is, so that wouldn't really matter. My little sis got to keep the tag, making the duck (which she named David on the computer as well) her 15th Webkinz. I also can't wait to see my aunt because she's really fun to hang around. She's only 19 (5 years older than me), so she understands me. I can't express how awesome she is. I can't wait to see my grandma because she is a great snuggler and is just a wacky person! She is also really smart and loves to make us laugh. My uncle is really cool because he makes good jokes and knows a lot about bikes, and stuff like that. My grandpa (he's actually my step- grandpa) is cool too because he's really smart and knows everything about everything. He makes really good jokes too. My grandma teaches art class, and my aunt helps, so while my mom is at drumming camp during the day, we will go with them and do art! It's really enjoyable! We did it before, and I painted some really nice paintings and did great pastels. I'm taking some of my Ireland pictures so that I will be able to paint them. I'm just so excited, especially since I haven't seen them since Christmas.
