sunny with a high of 75//

So last Sunday started out normal. Went to church and then lunch with David and Farah. We decided to go to Arby's, and it was pretty good. Then David suggested we go camping since we had no school on Monday [Memorial Day]. Of course Talicia, Dylan and I were all for it, and we went home to get ready. It was about 1pm and David said to meet at Ptarmigan at 2. So we called Justin, Megan, and some other people who ended up not being able to come, and all met at 2pm in the school parking lot. I'm pretty sure we didn't know where we were going, except that it was somewhere near the ocean. David just started driving and we looked at a map. We ended up at a KOA in Ilwaco. Probably two minutes after the tent for Justin and Dylan was set up, it started POURING down rain. Then stopped really fast. We just hung around the campground and made a fire [which got rained on], and then Talicia Meg and I did a rain dance. The next day we went to Cape Disappointment [where we are at the top picture]. We hiked A LOT but it was awesome. Once we got to the top of this one trail and saw we were on the oppisite side from the lighthouse, we hiked back down and went the other way. Along that way we came to the most AWESOME place ever. It was a little inlet from the ocean and it seriously looked like it was from a movie. The only problem was a sign that said "EXTREMEMLY hazardas Conditions, no access to beach." I was pretty bummed but at least we go to see it. Up this huge hill and around a corner was the lighthouse. We stopped there for a while and looked aorund before we headed back down. I think we saw an eagle somewhere up there, but I didn't get a picture. Anyways sometime during the day we saw an old military bunker. It was so cool except for the creepy writings people put on the walls. We ran aroudn in there for a while and video taped it. It had a jail cell thing, some rooms where people slept [I'm guessing?], and just random hallways that went all around under this hillside. So after all the hiking and runnign around the fort, we decided to drive into Seaside for lunch and to go to the beach. We walked along the main part in Seaside and went down to the water. This was all after we searched for a parking spot as close as possible. Then we headed home and pretty much slept most of the way back, but it was GREAT. Maybe we got rained on, and didn't take a shower that day, and had nine people and a dog in one RV, but it was definetly the best trip ever!!!!
