My first road trip in many months
I’ve been spending most of my time staying close to home so far in 2023. I stay busy with the gym, work, and just generally enjoy my life. It doesn’t take much to please me, I’m a pretty simple guy.
One thing that can get me to feel like traveling is family. When your only brother moves 6 hours away and you rarely get to see him, you never pass on a chance to go visit.
At the beginning of this year, my parents and I drove up there and helped my brother Chez move into his new house with his fiancé and two dogs. It was a tiresome weekend and we really didn’t get to enjoy our time together to the fullest because we were always tired from overworking.
Now that they’ve been in their new house for about 5 months, it finally seems like a good time to go up and visit again. And there is also the fact that my brother is about to graduate college from Millersville University. He will be the first person in our family to graduate college and we are all very proud of him.
When you watch somebody get to their absolute lowest, all you can do is hope that they recover and find a way to live life in a good way again one day. Thankfully my little bro has done that and then some.
Chez decided to study accounting and seems to be pretty passionate about it now. He has worked an internship at a place nearby to his new house and will soon be working full time I’m sure. I’m very happy about his success and I know he has too much to be psyched to be winning in life.
The drive up to Lancaster, PA is quite a long one, but once we get there the fun starts. We are planning on leaving today, May 5th, and shouldn’t be returning home until May 9th. That gives us almost a week to hang out together and catch up on life while making new memories.
I’m sure we will do a lot of cool stuff, such as going to the Amish Country and eating some local food. A lot of people think Lancaster is all Amish, but of course, that is not the case. There are plenty of them, even some horses and buggies still, but regular society far outnumbers the Amish.
I will be posting some photos of our time spent together, but I may not be able to get around to writing those posts until I’m back home. I will have my laptop with me, but I find it hard to believe I’ll want to spend a bunch of time working one of the few times we all get to be together.
In the meantime, I’ve got some really cool AI art self-portraits to share with you. So if you see my posting shorter posts for the next week, that is why. My longer-form content will be back soon though, don’t worry.

Hope you had fun on your trip. Congrats to your brother.
I love Amish country. We have a lot of Amish in the countryside of Western NY state along the Pa border. I love shopping for jams and pies at their little roadside stands and I think it's so cool seeing their horse and buggies parked along the side of the road. It's like a step back in time.
It was such a good time. Now to work on all of the family blogs that I have. So many pictures and stories. Hoping to get the first one posted tomorrow morning.
The Amish are great and it has to be nice living nearby to them without actually having to live the way they choose to.
I can already feel it in my bones that you are going to have fun.... So yeah, go ahead and have fun with your brother, his fiancee, and your entire family. ..
We'll be waiting for your long form content when you get back
Congratulations to him on achieving this feat. 🥂🥂
I have a feeling you’re correct.
It’s going to be a lot and I want to be present for all of it.
That's the spirit 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Have a great trip 💕💕
You do the right thing, if one lives away from their family, they should try spending as much time as possible with them. I know this from my colleagues living far from family.
Distance can be difficult. Luckily I get to chat with him regularly while playing video games online together. It’s of course much better to some time with one another in person.
I believe in time spend with family never wasted. In this world, only our family is honest to us.
I am always thankful when we all get time together like this.

I thought of this guy when u said Chez.. (his name was something else i think, but close enough..)
(his name was Chet.. funny ass movie.. 'Weird Science'.. watch it if u never did yet)
If there are any true relationships in this world, they are siblings and parents, everyone else is only with you for the sake of meaning, as we have seen. Congratulations to your brother for this great achievement.
Muchas felicidades 🎈 por la graduación.
Sounds like the makings of a great trip! Enjoy your time there, we can wait for posts when you are back!😎
