OREGON!

Well, we did it! We drove 2000 miles in 2 1/2 days. It was actually more fun and less stressful than I thought it would be. It may have been the fact that we were getting paid and we didn't have to pay for gas. Morgan and I had a blast! We sang, danced, laughed ate Big League Chew, and we used our "road-trip" as an excuse to eat like shit. We literally ate at every fast food restaurant you can imagine. We are now on a strict diet, but it was fun while it lasted!

The trip was also fun because we got to see where Morgan's sister Nikki lives in Davis. It was so late and dark by the time we got up there that we didn't have much time to hang out. We talked with her and her roommates for about 2 hours, went to bed at 2:00AM and woke up at 4:30 AM to hit the road. We drove all day Saturday, so we ended up about an hour and a half past Eugene. We went past my Uncle Keith's house on the way up and then turned around because that's where we would sleep. He and Alicia live in Grants Pass; it is soooo beautiful there!

It was so nice to see my Uncle Keith and Alicia. They took such good care of us. They had an amazing dinner on the table when we go there, which included bbq chicken, potato salad, grilled veggies and a bowl of fruit. It wasn't within mine and Morg's diet for the weekend but we made an exception :) Then they showed us around their town! They took us to a park nearby and there was a hippie festival going on (that's not what it was called, but that's what I called it!). We went to a little pond in the park, fed the ducks then UK and Alicia treated us to ice cream. Then we sat on the deck at their house, drank a couple of beers and looked up at the stars. You can actually see the stars there!

We had to wake up the next morning at 4:00 AM so we said our goodbyes and went to bed around 10:30PM. We woke up to the smell of bacon and coffee! UK and Alicia woke up before us, made breakfast, packed us snacks and sent us on our way! We felt so loved and cared for, so thank you UK and Alicia, we love you!

It was a great trip and the only horrible annoying part happened once we got back to LA. We still had 100 miles left to put on the odometer when we got home so we had to drive around LA until 8:00PM. We got it done, but driving 16 hours straight is rough!
