over the christmas break my dad and i went to ithaca, new york to stay with his friend randy. he lives on the top of the mountains (they're more like big hills actually) and works at cornell university. it was pretty fun. except once i had to go with him to the university and i got lost in the microbiology lab!!! we drove to new york from illinois because we wanted to hit the national airforce museum (fucking awesome if you like planes) and niagra falls. we passed through a very industrial city called buffalo and the lake effect blizzard and fog made the city look pretty awesome. they even had a warship which i've never seen before! we also went to the national soaring museum (i forgot which town it was in) which was pretty cool because this summer i'm going to take flying lessons in gliders (its a type of plane). my dad and randy bought some of their unfiltered belgian beer brewed by the monks and watched the "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: A Very Sunny Christmas" movie I got my dad for Christmas and I watched my new Dethklok movie that came with Dethalbum 2. It was a fun vacation.
