Adventures in Johnstown pt3

So we didnt have much planned for Monday. Who usually does right? Monday's are for work not play! Haha.
Aunt Lisa and Aunt Nancy wanted to take us shopping at this place they have called Polaris. Hell yeah! Another day of shopping? Its pretty obvious that we are related by this point, haha. Just to mention a few of the awesome stores... a huge Forever 21, Sephora, Delia's, Saks, and lots of other fun little ones... Heaven? Haha.
We got a few good things and met back at our grandma's house.
She wanted to get some pizza and have just a small dinner at her apartment. Her pink, shoe filled apartment... did I mention its not surprising we are related?! Haha(Btw they have more pizza places than any other food joints, kinda weird)
It was super nice just talking. She ended up showing us a lot of old pictures too. Hello 70's and 80's, haha. Oh why were there such weird styles?? I got to see all the old grandmothers too that have the name Victoria... Im the 3rd girl w/ the name! It was pretty neat and I think I saw a little bit of me in those old pictures. Cooool! Haha.
We got a few more pictures that day of us.

We wanted to hear and see more about the town so we walked around and did a little driving to see all the history.
Here's a few of the things we saw in the cute little town that is Johnstown.

After seeing all the sights we went back to our dad's to crash. Boy was it a long few day so far.
BUT perhaps the most interesting part of the vacation is our dad showing us these two old japanese photo albums he had from when he was in Vietnam. He looked so young!! Just a little one! I guess they would always go hang out w/ the orphans and stuff but he said it was crazy because it was so much fighting w/ these people that just lived in these tiny villages. Very, very interesting. I cant even imagine going through that. It pretty much broke my heart hearing the stories.
