Day 1- Tori

My name is Tori. I am the cute little one in the back. The smallest of the trio, and surprisingly the oldest. These two weeks are my vacation away from my crazy town and my big family of 7 and a golden retreiver named Rumsey (Rums-a-doodle for short). Whoopie.
Our four and a half hour ride to the ferry was rather amusing. First we made fun of a woman who couldn't read the road signs, so when Cody's dad Nils told her to go on South, she got on North. Idiot. We sang along to our favorite songs. Like HoDJa, and Sweet Caroline.
We arrived at the ferry and boarded our two cars. Nils, Cody, Amy, and I road in the Ford, and Leslie and Grandma road in the other car. As we were boarding Nils was talking to the ticket guy. He said that the ticket guy could take any one of us off of their hands. The ticket guy took a look at the three of us, Cody up front and Amy and I in back. He pointed at me and said "I'll take the cute little one in the back." Wonderful. I'm fifteen years old and yet I still manage to get called the "cute little one".
The ferry ride was about 2 hours and fifteen minutes long. We all were excited to get off of the ferry and onto the Nantucket island. The short 3 minute ride to the house was uneventful... sort of.
Our house is of course gray with a white trim. "Take a left at the gray house with the white trim"! Welcome to Nantucket, my friend. With the bedrooms on the first floor and the kitchen and living rooms upstairs, the house is upside down. The three of us were excited to see the garage appartment which we would call home for the next 2 weeks. That excited ended when we walked inside and found clothes and food left behind by the family who owns the place. We made ourselves as comfortable as possible and unpacked.
When Ali, a girl from California arrived our gorup was complete. Well for the first week or so. Ali is a sicknasty girl, and was alright with sleeping on an airmatress on the floor next to Amy's pull-out-couch bed. Cody and I took the twin beds in the bedroom. We are a full house with the 10 of us. Steve and Dr. Nessen, Steph, Ali, Leslie, Nils, Grandma, and our trio. The Nantucket Trio.
