Lesley and I have gone on many adventures lately. The summer has brought many dry days. We went 29 days without any rainfall. It was nice, but weird at the same time. Before I get into my spill, I wanted to wish my momma a Happy Birthday. It was yesterday. (I hope she enjoyed my hand-drawn card)
For the 4th of July, Lesley and I made plans to go to La Push, Washington with Lesley’s mom and her co-worker Christi. It is the very northwestern-most part of the state. It also happens to be the place where Twilight was filmed. The place has become a holy place to the Twilight readers. People are regularly making pilgrimage to this itty-bitty town. We stopped at a hamburger joint in Forks and I got a “Bella Burger.”
La Push is on or near an Indian reservation. Fireworks are legal on the “rez.” Consequently there were tons of little Indian kids shooting off fireworks. We camped right on the beach. The next morning we spent about 4 hours surfing. The waves were awesome. It is my new favorite place to surf. It is second only to Hawaii. Lesley and I have also surfed together on Huntington Beach, Ca, and Westport, Wa.
This weekend, Lesley and I went camping with some friends from the ward. We went to some church property in Arlington, Wa, about an hour and a half north. There we again camped on the side of a river. Saturday morning, we woke up and went for a swim in the freezing river. The swim only lasted about 5 minutes. We quickly drove home and got ready to travel to eastern Washington. Once we crossed over the Cascade mountains, it looked exactly like Utah landscape. A hot, dry desert. We went with Lesley’s mom, dad, and Christi to the Coldplay concert at the Gorge. It was the most beautiful outdoor amphitheater I have ever been to.
We ended up getting home at 3am this morning.
I am headed to Utah this coming Saturday, the 18th. It is going to be so much fun seeing my family and friends. Lesley will arrive on the 24th. My family and Lesley will be going to a Bees game and watching fireworks. We will head to Lake Powell on the 26th for the following week.
So that means that I have to really crack down on homework this week so I have nothing hanging over my head while I’m on vacation.
Luego!
