I have returned from vacation! It was really fun. I went down to Cape May with my family and we stayed at La Mer. We had access to the beach and the hotel had a pool. We also went into Cape May and saw the little strip mall they have there(it's called the Washington Street mall).

In other news, my grandfather(my mom's dad) was in the hospital this past week. He just turned 86 on July 13, and then his 73 years of smoking finally decided to catch up with him. He had pneumonia, but he fought it on his own and is doing better. He can't live by himself any longer, though. We think the plan is to have someone come to his house and stay with him every day, after he spends the next month in a nursing home.
Edit: My mom went to the hospital today and found out that my grandpa had fallen last night and hit his head on the bathroom door. We now think he's best off spending the rest of his life in a nursing home.

As for me, I'm stuck at home all next week because my summer job runs in two-week cycles and they can't just give me one week off, I have to take the two weeks. Ah well, my 17th birthday is next Friday! I can't believe how fast the time flies.
