All Good Things... Part 1

As I write this, I sit at the Portland airport waiting for my plane to board. That's right ladies and gentlemen, the road trip is at an end. As soon as Collin manages to sell the bus, I may make the last post. But until then, STORIES!

Yesterday's journey took us to OMSI, or the Oregon Museum of Science. It was jam-packed with interactive science exhibits. While not all the information was new, we still had fun doing fun little educational games. They also had one of the most complete skeletons of a T-Rex(you missed out Scott). After enjoying the entire museum, we headed out to Fred Myers(think Walmart). As some of the readers may know, I had collected two years worth of spare change from my room at school. Well we finally figured out how much it was. The grand total came out to (drum roll please), a large 72 dollars and 1 cent! Yeah, it was more than we thought. Still have the wad of $1 bills though. Then the rest of the night was spent playing Sins of a solar empire.

Today we had a late start, we didn't leave Collin's house till noon. We headed out to the coast, but not before stopping at a cheese factory. Cheese is delicious, free cheese is better. We eventually made it to the beach, Collin immediately broke out the shovel and made a sand castle. We then walked on the beach until it was time to leave. After stopping to get the last dinner we would be having as a group, we made our way to Fry's. Now if you never heard of Fry's, shame on you. Imagine all of new egg in store form, now your imagining Fry's. Needless to say it was awesome. Sadly it was then time to say our good bye's at the airport.

And there you have it, the end of the road trip. Its was fun and I hope that we can get the group together relatively soon.

P.S. I haven't heard from Matt, but hopefully his job interview went well.
