annundrielMonday was Senior Trip. It was a lot of fun. We met at the high school at 6:30 am, which wasn't too bad, and stopped at North Bend for breakfast and some shopping at the outlet mall. The outlet mall would have been (slightly) better if it was actually open. We got there around 9 and it didn't open until 10. So we wandered, waiting for the shoe shops to open and when they did half of the girls went around looking for decent, cheap shoes. Most of us wore flip-flops/sandals, which was not good because theme parks usually require closed-toed shoes. So, yeah. We all found shoes and continued on our way.
The first real stop for our trip was Enchanted Village and Wild Waves between Seattle and Tacoma. That was fun, even if I didn't ride anything or swim. Yes, I am lame. Thanks for asking. I had a great time people watching though. OMG-osh there are some funny people. And some people very comfortable in wearing small swimsuits with no other clothing all over a public place. It was even a cool day! In the Pacific Northwest! I was wearing capris and I was freezing! But they do think that 80 degrees is hot over there on the coast. That is not hot. That is warm-ish.
So, we were supposed to stay at the park until 5:30 pm but it turned out the park closes at 4. New plan! The next step to the trip was a cruise (3 hour tour!!) around Puget Sound so we just went down to the piers and wandered for an hour. I felt so important! I took Amanda, Lindsey, and Melissa around Pike Place Market. I did pretty well, too. Which is good considering I'll be living in Seattle by the end of September. Money was spent by me. I couldn't help it. The boat ride was fun! We had dinner and then a hypnotist and DJ. It was soooo funny. Not sure how hypnotized some people were. There was one person I was pretty sure was completely under, but the others . . . Well. I think the problem this year was that the hypnotist picked too many "unbelievers" to begin with. Anyhoo. It was great. Ride home was crap though. People with long legs should not be made to ride for long periods of time on school buses. It's cruel and unusual punishment. My legs are too long!!
Since Monday I haven't done much. Mostly recuperating (My feet are dead.) and helping Grandma in the yard. Let's see . . . Rented and watched Two Weeks Notice, Frida, and The Animatrix. All of them were good in their own way. Sometime you need a romantic comedy that doesn't require lots of thought. Sometimes you need something that's visually interesting and new. Sometimes you need stuff that makes you go "ooh". Would love to own The Animatrix.
Aaaaaaand the Buffy Season 4 DVD is out. Aaaaaaand the next Harry Potter book is out in 8 days.
