Day #62: Elf

July 17, 2011

Yes, I brought Elf with me to Utah and to theater camp on the off chance that there would be an opportunity to watch it. I wanted to watch it on Sunday, but we played Wii games altogether instead. Still fun.

Day #61: Dinosaurs!

July 16, 2011

So I was crazy excited about the last Harry Potter movie coming out. But I couldn't go to the midnight show because we left for Utah the next day. So when the idea to see it the next day in Utah with my brother came into my head I knew it was a brilliant one. And see Harry Potter we did. Then we walked around and found a neat little garden and walked into the lobby of a dinosaur museum and looked at the ones that we could see for free. Overall, a super effective day.

Day #60: My Castle

July 15, 2011

Making our usual 17ish hour drive to Utah. Ugh. We used to make this trip every summer. There's this cement factory that we pass by that I since I was little thought was a castle. We now call it my castle. And my dad had the song Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds on one of the tapes he'd listen to in the car so the two became my thing and are tied together in my childhood forever. My parents also call my Lucy which is part of the reason why Lucy in the Sky is my song. Here's the evolution of my name in my family: Kaylyn, Lyn, Lynnie, Lynnie Lou, Lucy Lou, and finally Lucy.

Day #58: Coming Home

July 13, 2011

It was finally sunny on the day we were coming home. Of course hahha. Ten hours home. On the way back we stopped at the Tillamook factory and I got some of this awesome sweet pineapple mustard for my family and my friend got fudge. It was a grand old time.

Day #57: Last Day in Oregon

July 12, 2011

Last full day in Oregon and it was rainy and poopy almost all day. The sun was out for a little bit and we went down to the beach. We got delicious fudge and Thai food which annoying people in the restaurant. Funny story, though: So there's this big group in the Thai restaurant and it's mostly girls and one guy. We're sitting and eating all pissy because they're annoying and we hear a gay guy's voice and we're kinda like, oh, that makes sense, a bunch of girls and their gay friend. We all get up to pay at the same time and it turns out that the gay guy voice is actually a butch girl. It was kind of hilarious.

Day #56: Sand Couch

July 11, 2011

Second day in Oregon! We woke up to realize that it was not sunshiny and happy like the first day, and was cloudy. Sad. We walked to this little coffee shop, then a bakery for breakfast. Then we went to the local strip mall where I managed to get a pair of pants that were originally $60 for $12, and a scarf that was $40 for $5 at Hollister. Holy crap. Then we went back to the hotel and finished watching a movie we had started the night before but I had fallen asleep during. Then we noticed it had gotten sunny and promptly proceeded to walk the beach where we found a giant hole people had dug earlier. So I made a sand fortress and my friend made a couch. My fortress didn't turn out so hot because the sand wasn't quite wet enough..but oh well. The couch turned our really cool. This lady walked over to us and started talking to us then her 4 year old daughter came bouncing over and plopped down on the couch and sat her two naked Barbies next to her. It was adorable.  Then she donned my fortress with a feather on the tallest tower which really made it so much more epic.Then we went back to the hotel and played Mario Kart Wii and watched more movies hahha.
