Trip highlights... or maybe just memorable things

Pita Bread
One of the things we did in Portland was we went to Lebanese restaurant. One of the things they served was Pita Bread which is REALLY REALLY REALLY good. The next night my parents went reunioning and I was left in the Hotel.... with Cable T.V. So I decided to microwave some bread along with this sauce that you dip the bread in. Well apparently the "seconds" were actually "minutes" and as you know there's a BIG difference between twenty seconds and twenty minutes. Fortunately it didn't go the whole twenty minutes, but I was slightly preoccupied with the sauce. And when I looked up the bread was in the microwave...... smoking. I took it out and waving my hands around it blowing the smoke off. (No, the fire alarm did NOT go off. Thank Goodness)

Fun by the Creek
At my Grandparents they have a creek by some old train trestles. We went down there and there was a tower made from rocks. Well we (meaning the "boys" mainly) threw rocks at the tower to knock it down. Of course they could've just just went over and knocked it down without throwing objects at it, but of course we had to do it the hard way. But every time someone knocked something down there was a big "Oooh" and "Awww" and applause from the spectators. (us "girls")

Shopping
On Wednesday while my parents went to Canada (Canada eh?) I went shopping with my Grandma. We bought necessary stuff like pencils, colored pencils, notebooks etc. for school, but most of was unnecessary "Fun" stuff (so in case it is necessary because having fun is necessary for life and survival) like books and Cd's (which I'm listening to now)

Although I did have fun with everything else, one of the funnest parts was just "hanging out" with my family, including all my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Sitting around with everyone eating flowers. (one of our activities since my oldest sister informed us that they were edible) 'Cause I got a pretty cool family.

P.S. It was also nice to take a walk alone in the "woods" a nice refreshment..... "Aaaaaahhhhh."
P.P.S. It was also nice to have 70 degree weather another "Aaaaaahhhh" moment.
