我们变老了吗?

我们变老了吗?不知道该如何回答这个问题,一下子想起了许多, maybe memories can answer this question。

6 years ago, we, 4 of us, drove the beloved Corolla wagon to Canada, everything is just like yesterday, memories are still very clear to everyone of us. Lgk still remembers the missed dinner due to our Casino loss (or due to me) and I'm sure he will carry his memory to the next generation. I still remember we couldn't afford parking, eventually we took turns to stay with the car while others gambling in the Casino, I remember yql asked me how women could bear the bad smell of men when lgk kindly offered his stinky pillow to yql. Now yql can answer this question better than me. I remember we ran to the bank for cash when we found out only had coins after a dinner in a restaurant, I remember we ate so many 荔枝 that I don't think I had ever ate that many again, I remember we were so nervous at the custom check point with whole trunk of 荔枝. I remember yql stayed awake to entertain the driver (of course lgk) by feeding him 瓜子, isn't that sweet? I remember we woke up in dark in nowhere and found out driver (lgk) got lost. When I pull out the pictures of that trip, none were good enough to go to my scrapbook, since I used a disposable camera.

Our best ever trip was the 2000 Christmas to Florida. That was a blast. We drove 20 hours from state college to Florida, from snowy cold college to sunny warm Florida. We got our Disney tickets at gas station for a lower price, we stretch our limit by running two Disney parks in one day. (Now? 3 of us worn out after 3 hours walk in a zoo, lgk was the only strong man.) None of us was brave enough to ride the coolest roller coaster in Islands of adventure, we may have to when our kids grow up and need accompany. We upgraded to digital camera and saved every happy moment of that trip. My little Sophia even recognized daddy from that stash of pictures. Yes, he didn't change, still the same weight. We (not 4 of us, only lgk and wzg, the drivers) did speed very much but were caught speeding when drove less than 50mph at a road of 45mph speed limit. (Now? lgk confessed turning too sharp when there is baby on board, I didn't even noticed the turn. lgk will be a model daddy-to-be.) Maybe someday, when our kids are old enough to remember things, we'll go there again, but never drive 20+ hours again.

The trip to white face mountain wasn't so long as Florida trip but was as much as fun. We drove a fire red ford Mustang rental, it was powerful yet tiny. I don't know if we, 4, can still squeeze in it with those adding fat over the years, but I'm sure we are not going to fit in all the caves that we crawled at "lost river", not sure of the name, correct me if I'm wrong. But that hiking trail was the most fun and most challenge one I've ever been to and will definitely go again! Do you guys still have the pictures of the pingpong ball rain? That was the most bazaar weather, it was cool, no one could believe it if he/she doesn't see it in person. I remember we had a free ride from the bottom of a mountain to top, from a beautiful colorful fall to a cold snowy winter in a few minutes. I remember the romantic B&B stay. Everything in that fall was perfectly beautiful.

Last, not least, we got together again this weekend at Baltimore to celebrate the reunion of lgk and yql, I'm really happy for you guys to get together after such a long time being apart. Congratulations on your new addition, VW wagon, to memorize the be loved Corolla wagon. We had a great success in crab hunting and a lot of fun at the zoo. Many years have passed; people are still the same people.
