Seven Minutes (Food Truck Festival)


This past Saturday we went on quite the adventure. This adventure took the Wain Tang Clan to New Jersey... Bound Brook, NJ for a Food Truck Festival. Bound Brook is about an hour and thirty-five minutes away. The festival was starting at 11am so we left right around 9:20. The people putting on this food truck festival do a bunch festivals each year. In the past we've attended some of their other festivals and have always been impressed. They do a great job getting quality food trucks, as they call them, "gourmet food trucks",  and they know what they're doing with organization. You don't have the lines over an hour long just to get one meatball slider or lines so long they're criss-crossing into other lines like at other food truck festivals. These guys know what they're doing. Also, they usually have live bands playing throughout the day. Matt's all about being outdoors and live music. I'm all about food. So their events are right up our alley.

Is this thing on?


Your eyes are not deceiving you. Yes, this is a post. Yes, it is from the year 2017. Yes, it's been FOUR YEARS since I last posted! And finally, yes, I'm doing this to shut my nagging husband up. The things we do for peace.

Day 10- Gorgeous Maui, not so much.


Woke up this morning somewhere around 5:30-6am, my usual that I really don’t mind. I went and sat on the balcony and typed up my blog as I watched us pull into our first port of the cruise, Maui. We are here for two days. We have rented a car for the two days. The forecast on NCL’s Dailies (daily newspaper with ship activities and info) said Cloudy- if only. It was pretty cloudy coming in and misting a little. Nothing too serious. I finished up the blog and headed inside to get ready and get Matt moving. We were trying to get off the ship right at 8am when we got the all clear. The closer to 8am it got the less in a hurry I was in, because I remembered we have the car for two days so we don’t have to be back by any specific time. 

Day 9- Boarding the ship.


I got up this morning at my usual time of somewhere between 5:30-6am. I decided I would shower and get dressed right away so that my bathroom products would dry out more before I packed them, while I typed up the day before’s blog post. The morning was pretty laid back even though I had a bunch of packing to do and I didn’t know what was ahead of me with lugging all this baggage around all day- the suitcases, not Matt. Speaking of Matt, he got up about an hour after me, made some phone calls and then helped in the best way he can these days- delegating. Awesome. I do joke a lot about Matt’s general uselessness this trip but that’s only because he is normally so far from that. He hates feeling useless and watching me have to do everything. I, however, love to bust his chops and he can’t get me back on the blog, soooo onward with the Matt jabs! Love you, honey.
