Road Trip!!

[annundriel]

Today was a good day. The family went on a road trip to Palouse Falls and back. It was really great, even if the falls were a lot smaller than they normally are. If I had had better shoes with me, Tom, Dad, and I would have hiked around a bit more. But I didn't so we just did a little. It was a beautiful day for a scenic trip though.

Fellow Washington state residents and LotR fans will agree with me when I say that Washington is, in a way, it's own little Middle Earth with all of it's diverse scenic areas. And today we were definitely in Rohan country. Big sweeping fields and plains, rolling hills, large rocks in the middle of nowhere. There was even a large formation that could have been Edoras. It actually looked a lot like Weathertop. Hopefully my pictures will turn out. As we were heading away from the falls to Lyons Ferry Park we saw a lone white horse grazing on a hill- Shadowfax!!

Good, good day. But now my eye really hurts like I got something in it. It's been hurting since the falls basically. Feels like glass. I hope I haven't gotten something in there and it's becoming infected. Not good.

Meanwhile, I took a survey cause I was bored. But then I turned on MI-5 and Anthony Stewart Head was on it!! Yea!

Aye.. Oregon is like that, too....even along the coast alone. My sister took a road trip which required driving West of Portland until we hit the coast, and continued that way until we got to San Fransisco.

Road tripping is really quite fun. I have the biggest urge to just get up and go...

Indeed.. damn the restrictions of gas mileage, lack of personal vehicle, driving permits, and lack of driving skills...

[annundriel.livejournal.com]

Damn responsibilities too. Those are things can be taken care of with little trouble. "Borrow" a car, "borrow" some money...But it's those damn responsibilities that get me. Don't mind breaking the law, can't stand to break a promise...

I'm really not as nice as that almost makes me sound.
