Today I flew to Maine from Grand Rapids to work for a Month as a Lobster-man. This will be my 3rd year being a stern-man on my Uncle Arts Boat. My Aunt Pennie and Uncle Art slept at my house in Grand Rapids last night, because this morning, we had to get up at 4:00 AM to go to the airport. Our flight was at 6:00 AM. My Mom drove us all to the airport at 4:30 AM. I had packed my checked bag with some new clothes that I could wear while I worked on the boat.
My Mom left the airport as Me, Uncle Art and Aunt Pennie were going through security. We walked through, and went to our gate A5. I got an Asiago toasted Bagel with cream cheese from a bagel shop before we boarded the plane. I ate it on the airplane. The first flight was from Grand Rapids to LaGuardia in New York. It was about a 2 hour plane ride. Then our next flight was to Maine, which was also about 2 Hours. Once we got to Maine, we drove about 2 hours to my Aunt Pennies house. We ended up finally getting to her house around 1:30 PM. I unpacked my bag, and got everything set up. The first thing I realized when I got to her house was that she had a new garage built. It was enough to hold 2 cars, and it looked really modern and nice.
I went with Aunt Pennie to go to the Post Office, and then to the Keag Store. I got some chips, skittles, and a Gatorade from the Keag Store. Then we went back home. After that we decided to go to Walmart to get some things so that I could make sandwiches to eat on the boat, and to get me some sweatpants that I could wear on the boat also, because I only had 1 pair. We found a really nice cheap pair for like $7. We got bread, meat, and cheese to make sandwiches. We also got a WiFi repeater for Aunt Pennies house so that the WiFi could reach upstairs in her house, and I set it up and it works great! Now I can use my Laptop up in my room instead of sitting downstairs in the living room. Here is what the WiFi repeater looks like.
We went out to eat around 6:00 PM to a place called Mussel Ridge Market. It was Taco Tuesday and I got pork tacos. They were very delicious!! Aunt Pennie got the Frito Pie which was beans and cheese and sour cream all on top of Fritos, I had some and it was delicious!!

After Dinner, we came back home. I had my laptop set-up in my room, it was really cool.
Tomorrow will be my first day going out on the water. It will be foggy, and we will have a long day since Uncle Art or Aunt Pennie have not been home for a while.
