I just came back from a 9 day trip to Yellowstone on Sunday. Boy, I'm still out of it and today's a Tuesday. How lame. Everything is starting to ramp up and begin; especially school. I'm starting to becoming pretty excited but also kinda nervous too. Anywho, I'ma blog over what I did over the past week and few days.
August 1st, 2009
I woke up at 4:50 with my parents banging pots all over the place and trying to finish packing for Yellowstone. I grabbed my bag, clothes, and a few other things and went downstairs. I took a shower and brushed my teeth. Changed, too, of course. Then I threw everything I needed into the car and waited. We were scheduled to leave the house by 6, sooo, I decided to watch the TV while I waited for the other 20 people who were coming on the trip with me to get to my house. At around 5:50, everyone was here, so we piled into the 2 big ass vans and drove out towards Idaho, where we were going to stay for the night.
I started off the ride by listening to my iPod putting the music on nearly full blast to keep me awake. For breakfast, we ate croissants that my mom made us. A few hours later, we stopped at McDonalds for lunch. Ew, right? Anywho, after that we kept driving until we reached our hotel. We stayed at the Holiday Inn in the city of Pocatello, Idaho. Our rooms were all right next to each other.
I went into my hotel room and changed into swimming trunks, since all the kids decided that we were going to go swimming. We ran downstairs and went inside the building where the pool was located. It was super huge, I swear! One end was 3 feet while the other end was 9 feet. We jumped into the pool and swam aroudn for what seemed like 2 hours, then we got out and showered. All of us changed back into our clothes and headed to eat dinner. Yeah, dinner was at 11:00. LOL. xD. After that, we all went to sleep and waited for the next day to come so that we could do more driving, but this time to Wyoming, where Yellowstone is located.
August 2nd, 2009
Everyone woke up at 6, packed everything into the car again, and we drove off; this time to the house that we rented near the border of Idaho and Wyoming.
We stopped at what is called the Ice Caves and took a mini tour there. We went down into this cave, where it felt like it was 20-30 degrees in there. The floor was all iced up and water was dripping down from over our heads.
Once the tour finished, we went back and drove up to the Craters of the Moon. There, we took a few pictures and ate lunch. We drove up to the house that we rented, which took about 5 more hours and then unpacked everything there. There were lots of mosquitoes around the area, so I had to use this insect repellent to spray nearly everything to keep mosquitoes away from it. Ew. We ate dinner, and around 12 or 1, the last of us knocked out and got ready for the next day.
August 3rd to 6th, 2009
I'm too lazy to type all these random details and crap out sooo, I will just list basically the routine. We all woke up at 7, packed our bags with lunch and breakfast, and then headed off to various areas in Yellowstone and Montana. This included areas such as:
-Old Faithful
-Different caves
-Mammoth
-Grand Teton National Park
-Lake Jenny
-Etc. I'M LAZY I TELL YOU. LEAVE ME ALONE! ):!
August 7th, 2009
We woke up at 5 and packed everything into the car and drove toward Oregon. Along the way we stopped at this weird place called Lava Butte.
There were chipmunks and squirrels EVERYWHERE. (:. They were soooo cute, I wanted to grab one and keep it as my pet ):. Unfortunately, life doesn't work that way now does it? Ahaha. Oh well.
We drove some more and stopped at our next hotel, which was named, Rainbow Motel. GAY much?!
Me and my friends and cousins all laughed at the name, since the manager was Indian and he didn't know that rainbow stands for gay pride or whatever. AHAHAHA. Damn, we are racist bastards. I swear, I will get jumped by some random retard some day. xD. Anywho, we unpacked and ate dinner. They had a fridge, microwave, and free wi-fi for us. Yay for that, because I was suffering from freaking internet withdrawal! I was typing on random things such as the table or the bed or the TV, it was crazy. I swear, I'm like addicted to the internet, just like most of the people in our generation are. ):.
By the way, I got to go shopping and I found 8 v-necks from American Eagle for myself. YAY!~ <3. Anywho, around 11, I knocked out and dreamed for the next day to come.
August 8th, 2009
We woke up and got ready to go down into California.
Sooo, we drove down and stopped at Crater Lake along the way for a few more pictures and then headed to our hotel in the city of WEED, yes WEED, California!
We stayed at a ghetto, you guessed it, MOTEL 6. LOLOLOLOL. The pool was fucking icy cold and their service was LAMEEEESAUCE. Oh well. Everything was all good, since the next day was going to be our going home day anyway. I hung with my friends and cousins for the last day and then knocked o ut at around 11, again.
August 9th, 2009
Woke up, got ready, took a picture, and then drove home. Along the way, we stopped at Vacaville to go shopping again.
I got myself a short sleeved dress shirt from Rue 21. Ate subway for lunch and then drove home. My dad returned the car, I returned to my normal daily life, and everything was just the same as it was before the trip started. How boring eh?
Bleh. Yellowstone was tiring. The weather was like, extremely weird, cuz there were times where it was sunny and then all of a sudden, it starts raining out of nowhere, with thunder and lightning too. After about 15 minutes, the rain stops, and its sunny again. Oh well. The trip was fun. Thanks to my cousins and friends (: <3.
Oh yeah, I still have yesterday to blog about but that will be in a different blog post. I'm tired. *Yawn* Bye!
