ill see you around sometime.

My brother and I in the waters of the Pacific for the first time.

So as I’m sure all of you know I have been on vacation along the west coast.

Having gone through the same routines the whole summer I was excited to begin vacation. We left the 14^th for San Francisco and stayed there for a few days. San Fransisco (or Frisco as I have learned to call it) is wonderful. It stays at a constant 65-70 degrees all the time due to its close proximity to the bay. Although we did stay in a kind of ‘touristy’ area, it was great. I visited Alcatraz which was a blast. Did my own little ‘Sideways’ and did some wine tasting with my parents in Napa Valley. Ate Seafood almost every day and road the cable cars up and down the hills. Probably my favorite thing was walking across the Golden Gate Bridge (about a mile and a quarter). It’s covered in fog pretty much all the time and I never actually saw the bridge as a whole the whole five days or so I was there. When we walked to the other side we soon discovered that there was no bus station on the other side of the bridge and were faced with having to walk across at almost night time so we picked up a cab. So worth it.

We then took a plane to Seattle and I got to sit next to the window (which I made a deal with my brother to let him sit next to the window on the way there to Frisco so I could watch the rain fall when we landed in Seattle BUT IT DIDN’T RAIN THE ENTIRE TIME WE WERE THERE.) I read three books while I was there. I visited the Boeing factory since my dad is a huge airplane enthusiast. I did learn that the Boeing factory is the largest building in the world (area wise) and I saw the largest digital picture in the world of a lady with her eyes closed and arms in the air on the door that the airplanes are rolled out of when they are assembled. Don’t be jealous.

A few blocks from our hotel was Pikes Place Market which I have decided is my favorite place on earth (sorry Baylor). It’s basically a street where people can sell whatever they want and oh my goodness do they have some cheap good fruit. My mom brought home two bags of Mt. Rainier cherries to eat. Speaking of Mt. Rainier, I went there too. Me and my bro did some splorin and took about a thousand pictures of the mountain.

I also went to Victoria and realized that I don’t like Canadians but they do have nice gardens.

My vacation was a blast and watch out for brians new line up of vacation t-shirts.

Now back to this:
