Last Few days of Summer

When my father first asked me if wanted to go to DC with him and my brother for my brother's chess tournament, I thought about it and said no. My dad kept asking and asking me but each time I would shake my head and say no. I mean, I would love to see the White House and the museums and collect the printed souvenir pennies for my collection. The only part I don't like was the 3-hour bus ride getting there and coming back. Three hours bus each way! I hate riding buses, cars, any land vehicle for large amount of time.

The first day after my dad and my brother left, I went back-to-school shopping my mom. We picked a very cute plaid top, a pair of blue Levi jeans, and a gray stretchy pant that are just amazing. The second day, I surfed the internet and later went to Target. My mom bought a shoe organizer. I persuaded her to buy a Kong toy for my dog. A Kong toy is a rubber toy and you could squeeze treats inside the hole in the toy. My dog loves it! Well...First he sniffed it and walked away. That is all he did...until he saw me inserting his favorite beef jerky treat inside. He started playing. Now he loves it with treats or not.

Two days went by and now my brother is in DC playing chess. I am at my house with my mom and my dog. It is relaxing but I admit it is kind of boring without hearing my brother's corny jokes and looking at his humble smile. He has won 2 out of 3 games so far,which is pretty good. He will play two more games today and will be coming home tomorrow.

I can't wait to see him!
