Sea Side





Last month I went on vacation with my dad. We drove up to Walla Walla, Washington to see my sister Coralee's house. We drove a girl to Boise that needed a ride. Now I don't want to be mean but she was kind of... stupid? about 40 minutes into the trip she turns to me and asks, "so what are all of the fields for?" I about died! I laughed and said, "Have you ever heard of a farmer?" she nods her head and says, "but do they really need all these empty fields?" I am so glad I am smarter than that! I am glad for the laugh though. I had so much fun hanging out with my sister and we had a pampering day. We even got gel maskes that help you relax. Late one night my dad even made me shave his head. He looks different without hair. We all drove down to Sea Side, Oregon and stayed in a resort. I had so much fun playing on the beach and watching my nephews. Coralee and I had panic attackes everytime Michael Phelps swam a race in the Olympics. Yes, watching Michael was one of the highlights in the trip. We went to Tillamook, Oregon and toured the Cheese Factory. The drive back to Rexburg was the worst! It took 14 hours and the roads are not straight. Mort and I were so tired that Coralee thought we were going to die on the way home. She called us and we were so giddy! My dad is a dork and when we ate lunch he had chips all down his shirt! thank goodness we made it home safely at 2 am!
