Vacation... yes, still on vacation
Jul. 8th, 2004 11:07 pmI believe this laptop well and truly hates me. That, or it wants to go on vacation as well. *shrugs* No rest for the wicked... not sure if that applies to the computer or me!
Yesterday we left Seattle, but not before having a grand breakfast with all of the fruit and pastries we had bought at Pike's Market the day before. The apple cinnamon roll was okay, but the cinnamon carrigon (sp?) braid was fantastic. That, with some blueberries and some raspberries... yummy. CA fruit's gonna seem rather dull after this, unless I can find a farmer's market down there.
We drove... and we drove... and we drove... I slept a lot. It's amazing how riding in a car wears one out. Finally we put on one of the CD's. I love old radio shows. There's always really cheesy ads. Most of them for this series are for some now-defunct brand of car parts, though there was one ad for a now-defunct California wine. I kinda feel sorry for those people... I hope they made money while the company was still going. They sound so sure their product is great.
Finally we hit the town of Tillamook. Yes. That Tillamook. The one with the great ads with the fake-o Swiss knights. "Vee have lost the cow, but ve'll steal the cheese!" I love those ads. The factory is pretty cool, though I think the jobs of cutting and packaging the cheese are best used to inspire young students to study. *shakes a metaphorical finger at said young students* You study hard now, or you'll be stuck in Tillamook, packaging cheese all day! *snickers* They have good ice cream there, however. They also have one of the statues from 'Cows on Parade'. I love those cows. I have a replica at home (much smaller, obviously) of one of the cows - it's red and has boxer shorts, and is obviously one of the coolest cows ever. Yup.
Another long bit of driving, and we came to our final destination - Pacific City, Oregon. We're right next to the beach, and though it is pretty cold, it's very nice here. Mom, Dad, and I went for a walk on the beach before the sun went down. Dad took pictures of me when he thought I wasn't looking (I didnt' react - I think he thinks he got away with it. *grin*) Dinner was the smoked salmon and other bits of munching stuff we've acquired along the way. Still very yummy.
I should give today's report now, but it looks like everyone else wants to go to bed, and I don't want to catch more heat. Just one more thing - evidently there is a rather large herd of domestic rabbits roaming the city. I've seen roughly 15 of them so far, and they're uber cute, if not very tame. I just keep thinking about one of my co-workers. I don't think I'll tell her about this - it'll give her fits. *ponders* That could be interesting. Ah well. We don't need more drama at the shelter.
