family ties

I'm calling this part 2 of 4 of my trip. I spent a week traveling all over, by myself, not knowing anyone around me and just in solo exploring adventure mode. Two days ago I got to my cousins' in Boca, and yesterday I drove to Stuart FL to see my cousin Bryan. It's not much to tell, we've been hanging out, talking about old times, talking about current times..

I've been spending a lot of time thinking about my past, my childhood, places and people I've lost.. and also thinking about my future in Maryland, the adventure I'm about to take in the next phase of my life. Although this is vacation, it definitely hasn't been easy weighing everything out. My next 2 days in FL before I leave for part 3 Savannah, will be lovely yet trying. There is something about seeing family that makes you stare harder at yourself.

I left Bryan's apartment and went straight to Ft Lauderdale to go night fishing. Not a single bite!

BTW yesterday I met up with Rori at Boomers with Michael and Hannah.. I got whooped by a 10 and 11 year old at Go-Karts and Laser Tag! Those kids make me feel so old! I'll post some pics tomorrow. The last few days of straight up family has wiped me out. Love. <3
