Senior Ski Trip! Pt. 4- Last full day in Keystone and the drive home

I promise this is the last ski trip post! Really!

But it's a long one.

If you haven't read any of my other ski trip posts and care to read them in chronological order, (like I wrote them in) I'll list them below...

• The first random post about the ski trip
• Part 1-The first 24 hours of the ski trip
• Part 2-The first full day in Keystone
• Part 3-The second full day in Keystone
  

Wow. Slightly ridiculous how many there are. Like I said, this really is the last ski trip post!

Let's get on with it, or it will never end!

Our last full day in Keystone brought forth sore joints, tired bodies and bed heads. But worst of all, the realization that it was the last day! :(

David After Dentist was most definitely quoted...

But we were gonna make the best of it and enjoy our beautiful last day in Keystone! We started out on the bunny slopes with everyone again. But we weren't there for quite as long this day. After about an hour we went half way up with some people.

Took a few more pictures, of course...

Looking up the mountain...


Jay waiting for all the slow-pokes. haha...

After we took a run half way down with the slow pokes, Jennifer and I went all the way to the top of the mountain to meet Katie and take some pictures!


Some pictures from up top...
It was really an unbelievable sight! The pictures don't do it justice.


Me and Jennifer...
It was sooo sunny up there. Jennifer and I both got sunburned... Jennifer got it way worse than me, though.


We're so excited!


Group picture...
I like this one, I stole it from Katie. :)

After hanging out on the top of the mountain for a little while, Katie took the gondola back down, and Jennifer and I skied all the way down the mountain. It was fun, but not as much fun as night skiing. ;)


We knew we were done after this run, so Jenn and I took a few pictures to document it...
We were sad to be done skiing.


A look up the mountain...


We had to take a happy picture...



After we took a few pics we found Katie at the bottom and headed back to our cabin-room-lodge-thing. We wanted to take some pictures around the place we stayed, so we changed out of our ski stuff and into some comfy clothes and walked around and took some pictures.

A LOT of pictures...

My fav of me and Katie...


Jennifer chillin' on a rock...


Katie and lots of snow...


Some of the trees in front of our building...



Katie in front of the door of our building...


My reflection in the door of our building...


Pretty...


Me...
I stole this from Katie's pictures.


Jennifer laughing...
I love it! ha.


The sidewalk with the snow piled up on either side...
Another I stole this one from Katie. I never got a good one of our sidewalk.


Our building...
I stole this one from Katie, too. The little balcony you can see on the second floor is off of our room.


Jennifer and Kristen up on our porch/balcony thing...


Our only attempt at a group picture...
I think it turned out pretty good!


Katie and Jennifer cheesin'...
Cute.


More trees...
I can't help it, I love them so much.


Our bus stop...
You can see our building in the background. we had a very short walk to the bus stop in the morning, it was nice.


Keystone Gulch...
The name of our bus stop.


The yellow bus...
The bus that took us to the slopes everyday.

Whew! I told you we took a LOT of pictures. That wasn't even a third of what I took that afternoon!


After all the picture taking we headed to supper.

Then a few people went night skiing for the last night. Jennifer and I decided to skip this time, we were pretty tired. In stead, a group of some of the senior girls decided to take the gondola up the mountain and take some pictures up on top of the mountain. It was lots of fun!


Turns out Jenn and I made the right decision about not going a second night, it had been warmer that day and according to our youth minister, who went night skiing both nights, it was really icy the second night. He said he almost couldn't control himself it was so icy, so Jenn and I definitely would've had trouble. And the first night was really great conditions, it wasn't icy at all and it was even snowing lightly while we were skiing. So skiing the second night might have made us not love night skiing as much as we did.


Up on the mountain at night...
I didn't mean to do that... haha.


Ah, that's clearer.


Kristen taking some pics...


Me and Katie...
You can see my sunburn now.


Me and Katie again...we take a lot of pictures together, if you hadn't noticed...
It was sooo cold up on the mountain!


We didn't stay up there for too long, because it was so cold AND we had to be back for group/devotional time pretty quickly.

We took a little group picture once we got down the gondola...
Not the best, but still cute.
From the left it's: Lindsay, Nikki blinking (Jay's wife), Katie also blinking, Kristen, Leslie, Sammie, me and Jennifer (you can see how bad her sunburn is here!)



After another great group time, we had to head back to our room-cabin-thing (have y'all caught on that I really have no idea what to call it?) and start packing up our stuff. We had an EARLY start the next morning to head back to Texas. We hung out talking for a while before we really got motivated to start packing... Finally we turned on some music (Wicked Soundtrack) and we got to it! We took a while getting everything packed up, but we did it. I think we were in bed by 1:30... maybe.


I think we got up at about 5:45AM. We had to be at the bus with our stuff at 6:45.

Here's a few pictures I took that morning...

Our living area finally clean! haha...


Katie with her luggage...
I think my camera was still on night setting, so there are kind of funny looking.


Kristen with all of her stuff, ready to go...

I think we got off at about 7:15, here's what I twittered as we drove out of Keystone...

"Goodbye snow, goodbye lifts, goodbye lodge, goodbye mountains, goodbye ski trip, goodbye Keystone... : (" 8:18 AM Mar 20th (the link says 8:18, but it was 7:18 in Keystone.)

It was definitely sad. The trip went by so fast!

Here's some pretty mountain pictures I took while we were driving early that morning...




It was so pretty! A bitter-sweet ride out of the mountains, for sure.


Katie, my bus buddy...

It was a long day of driving...

The first couple of hours there was a lot of sleeping (or trying to) because we were all so tired from waking up early. After the first few hours they started playing movies. The first one we watched was really good, "The Express". But after we stopped for lunch, they played three animated movies in a row. And every movie got more ridiculous. The first one, Wall-E, is actually really good, but it was downhill from there... The next movie they played was Over The Hedge, which wasn't the worst movie in the world, but at this point, I think we were just tired of animated movies. And the last and most definitely least was Open Season, easily the worst animated movie I've ever seen. It was ridiculous. We were all already going crazy just from driving for so long (it was 5-ish in the afternoon at this point) and to add this ridiculous movie to the mix was almost too much. It was a strange movie, to say the least. We were all so tired and delirious, we ended up laughing at it anyway, but it really wasn't that funny.

After that movie we took a break from movies. Praise the Lord!

We didn't stop for supper 'til about 8 and that was our last stop before we got back. I realized I had hardly taken any pictures after our last stop for supper, so I got out my camera and got some pictures while we were waiting for everyone to get back to the bus...

I'm glad I did, because I got some of the funniest pictures...

Katie posing for a picture...
Nathan decided to join in the picture taking, too... haha.

Katie and I are happy that there's only a few more hours of driving...
And I'm smiling funny.


Nathan and Michael playing an intense game of Rock, Paper, Scissors...
Yes, these are seniors in high school. Silly boys.


Still waiting for everyone to get back on the bus, passing time with card tricks...

Notice Randen's cast? It's because he broke his thumb on the first day while he was snowboarding! I would've been so sad if it had been me...

Everyone got to the bus and we got back on the road...


About an hour into our driving that night, our bus driver pulled over (in the middle of nowhere!) because he thought the engine was getting too hot. It was seriously freaky, you couldn't see anything out the windows, it was just black.

We all joked about it to pass the time. It actually ended up being way more funny than creepy. And we were only stopped for, like, 5-10 minutes, so it wasn't bad at all.

I, of course, had to document it with pictures...

Me and Katie pretending to be scared...

Nathan, Michael and Randen pretending to be scared, too...
They're so much more convincing than me and Katie. Maybe they really were scared. ;)


The back half of the bus being scared, as well...
More like the back quarter, I only got one side of seats. haha.

And that was about it. We got back to Fort Worth about 12:30AM and everyone went their seperate ways... It was sad, but we all wanted to get home and sleep in our own beds.


And you already know how I felt after the trip from this post, so I wont go into it. But it's been three weeks since the trip now and I've been back in the swing of things for a while.


It was a big undertaking to blog the whole trip, but fun to relive everything, so even if you just looked at the pictures, I'm glad I did it and I know I'll look back and be glad I did.

I promise to be back to blogging about more recent things now that I'm done with blogging about the ski trip!

Hope you enjoyed! (The pictures, at least!) ;)

Senior Ski Trip! Pt. 3- Second full day

Yep, I'm on the third official ski trip post. And I've got one more coming...

But that will be it, I promise!

If you want to read about my ski trip in chronological order, you can scroll down the page and find and start at the first one, or you can click the nifty list of links below...

• The first random post about the ski trip
  
• The first 24 ours of the trip
• The first full day in Keystone
  

After our wonderful first full day in Keystone, we started up again for our second full day!

I was excited about today in particular because we were gonna have the chance to try night skiing tonight!

But that was still 12 hours away. I had a whole wonderful day ahead of me. After breakfast we headed to the slopes. Jennifer and I wanted to go back up the mountain, but we stayed with Katie and Kristen on the bunny slope for a while...


Which was fine, cause I got a chance to take some pictures...


Riding the bunny slope with Katie. She was freaked out that I had my camera out, but I made her take a picture anyway...

I really love this one! Totally worth Katie being freaked out for a moment. ;)


A view from the top of the bunny slope...
Looks so exciting, right?


Katie took a picture of me at the top of the bunny hill...

At about noon Katie and Kristen went back to our cabin-lodge-thing and Jennifer and I went up half way with some people trying the mountain for the first time.


Since we were skiing with some newbies, Jennifer and I were considerably quicker and had to stop at points and wait a little while for the others. Yet another chance to get out my little camera a snap a few pics up on the mountain...

Jennifer at a stop on the mountain...
I'm still amazed at how quickly she caught on. I'm so glad she did, though. She was a wonderful ski buddy!


After one or two runs (I can't remember how many) we headed back to our cabin a bit early, so we could all go out and do a little souvenir shopping and explore the town some that afternoon...

And, of course, there were many pictures taken.

Walking to our second bus stop...
I loved those red lamp posts. They were everywhere!


Me and Kristen...
A little close 'cause it was accidentally zoomed in a little, but I still like it. She actually looks paler than me. Crazy!


Me and Katie...


Me and Jenn...
and Katie creeping in the background. Ha.


The main shopping area in Keystone...


Our feet in the middle of the shopping area...
I don't what it is, but I love this picture.

Walking to a store...
My caption on this photo on facebook is "my two favorite red-heads." It's true. And I love this picture.


Jennifer, Katie and me, waiting for Kristen to get done in a store...
Kinda awkward, but kinda cute. :)


Story time!
Anybody remember this post? Well, I mentioned a certain boy band that my friends and I had rediscovered in that post. The band? Hanson! Well, after I wrote that post, my friend Katie and I became fans all over again. I even got her all of their old CD's for her birthday last fall! Anyway, their not popular anymore, but Katie and I talk about how much we love them all the time! You may ask what this has to do with my ski trip, or shopping that afternoon. Well, I'll tell you!

Katie had told me a week or so before the trip she had a dream that we met Hanson in Keystone! I know totally unrealistic, but we had been joking about the whole time we were on the trip. And had even been playing their old songs while we got ready that morning...

Remember that Hanson isn't really popular anymore. Especially their 90's song MMMbop, which I personally love. :)

SO, we were shopping around a store and had been looking around for a while, when all of the sudden, what comes on the radio? MMMBOP! All of us, (Kristen, Katie, Jennifer and me), just looked at each other for a second in shock and then we all burst out in glee and laughter. It may not sounds too funny to you, but it was one of my favorite of parts of the day! We were so worked up about it, we didn't even think to take a picture in front of the store.

Story time over!



After we got done exploring and shopping we were parched, so we stopped into the Starbucks in Keystone and I got the most delicious drink-- Passion Shaken Iced Tea Lemonade. It was so good! I don't frequent Starbucks too often and I'd never had that drink, but I was a satisfied customer, that's for sure.


Me enjoying my delicious drink, while waiting for our bus to take us back to our cabin-lodge-room-thing...

Once we got back to our cabin we chilled a bit before dinner. Jennifer and I got back in our ski clothes before dinner because after that we were heading out to night ski!

Dinner was eaten and we headed out for night skiing with Jay and two other senior guys that wanted to go. That was it, just 4 of the 18 seniors went night skiing... Their loss!

Once we got there Jay said we would have to go all the way to the top, which Jenn was a bit nervous about because she had only skied down half way so far. But she was brave and pressed on! They only run gondolas at night, so we took the long gondola ride up, which was kind of freaky, but once we got to the top it was the coolest view ever! You could see over to other ski towns all lit up, it was an amazing view! Jennifer and I were both getting pretty excited.


The only picture I got was one before we skied down the first time, it's not very good, but it's all I've got...


Then we headed down... It was so fun! With fewer people out there, you could go so much quicker! We stopped pretty often so we didn't get too far apart. At one point toward the bottom we lost one of the senior guys (Raymond), so the other senior guy (Nathan), who was on a snow board, walked all the way back up to the last place we stopped to try and find him... but he didn't, so we figured he got off on a different trail and figured we'd find him back at the bottom. We did and it was all good.


Both the senior guys were tired, so they headed back to the rooms and Jay took Jennifer and me up one more time! It was more fun the second time around because we knew what was coming and we didn't have to stop as much, (because we had less people.) We also went a lot faster the second time. Even Jay, who is a really good and fast skier, said he couldn't believe how quick we were going and he thought we were doing really well. Awesome! He also said we got down in 13 and something minutes, which is according to him, a pretty good time. All-in-all, night skiing was even better than I expected it to be. I'm glad I did it and I'm glad I had such a brave friend in Jennifer to be adventurous with me!

After all that we headed back for group time.


We were tired and sweaty, so we stopped by our room real quick to shed some layers and cool off.


Had another great group time with everyone and we hung out with everyone for a while after it was over... Once we got back to our room we all went to bed pretty quickly. We were all pretty tired from the day and we couldn't believe that tomorrow was our last full day in Keystone...

To be continued.


I've got one more post about the ski trip and I'll be done! Keep your eyes peeled for that one tomorrow!

Senior Ski Trip! Pt. 2- First full day in Keytone!

Somehow, my blog post of just the first 24 hours, (as in driving and the day we got to Keystone), was crazy long!

So, I decided to stop, go ahead and post what I had, and start a new post with probably just the next day. Or however far I can get without it seeming too long.

If you want to read my ski trip posts in chronological order, you can either scroll down to my last post and start there, or click this link and it will take you my first ski trip post. After that you can come back to this one and, maybe, it will make more sense. I make no promises, though.

If you're still lost, this post will start on our first full day in Keystone, Tuesday Mar. 17.

How sad, that was over three weeks ago and I'm just blogging about it! I hope I can remember that far back. ;)

After a long 24 hours of, driving through the night, getting into Keystone, getting ski stuff, getting lost in Keystone, cramming five girls and their luggage into a Jeep, getting sick, and so much more, we finally hit the hay to get ready for our first full day and first day of skiing! I was so excited.

We had breakfast at about 8:30 each morning, so we never had to get up that early.

Every morning we walked down a little sidewalk to get from our condo-room-lodge-thing to our youth minister's condo-room-lodge-thing for breakfast. There was big open areas to both sides of the side walk that had snow built up (a couple feet!) above the the side walk.


I took this the first morning in Keystone, while walking down our little sidewalk for breakfast...

After breakfast, Katie, Rebekah and I headed back over to our place to get our skis and everything ready to go. Jenn and Kristen went back to the ski rental place with Jay to exchange their boots for bigger sizes...

We just hung out and took some pictures while we waited for them to get back.

Me and Katie, waiting out in front of our building, ready to hit the slopes!

Took some pictures of the trees while waiting on our steps. They were so tall!

Katie with all of her ski gear...
Once Kristen and Jennifer got back, we caught our bus and headed to the lifts. Pretty much everyone, (except for some of the guys snow boarding), started out at the bunny lifts, so I stayed there with everyone that was learning.

Some people caught on quicker than others. Kristen didn't do so well the first day, so she stopped after lunch, along with a lot of the girls that wanted to go shopping. (What's wrong with them? I payed to ski, I'm gonna ski! It was only the first day!)

Katie and Jennifer were both doing pretty well, so after a lunch break, Jay convinced them to go up half way and take a green down. I was excited to get up on the mountain, Jennifer and Katie were a bit nervous. Once we got off the lift, Jay got a call that someone got hurt, so he had to ski ahead, while the rest of us took it down slow. Luckily, a couple other adults on the trip had come up with us, so they showed us the way down. Jennifer was doing great! She got the hang of skiing really quickly and she was skiing at a pretty fast pace. She was almost as fast as me. But not quite. ;)

Katie, on the other hand, had some trouble and she ended up taking a while to get down. One of our adults stayed with her, while another adult went down with me, Jennifer and another senior guy.

Once Jennifer and I got down, we took a little break in the snow to rest our legs.

And took a few pictures, of course.

A view from where we sat...

Jennifer relaxin'.

Me and Jennifer...
I Know I had this in picture in my first ski trip post, but it's one of my favorites from this day, so I'm posting it again. :)


Jennifer and I waited for about 30 minutes for the other adult and senior guy we were skiing with to get down, but they never came. We figured we missed them or they got off on a different trail after the last time we stopped on the mountain. Katie and the adult with her hadn't made it down either, but they were pretty far behind us. So, Jennifer and I decided to take the lift up half way again and take another run.

It was becoming obvious who was gonna be my ski buddy this week.

So we took another run down, much quicker than the last since we knew where we were going. Right as we were almost to the bottom, we saw Katie and Brian, (the adult that stayed that stayed with her), still on their first run. We were just glad we finally found them.

Once we were all down to the bottom it was almost four, so we decided to head back and rest a little before supper and group time.

When we got back that afternoon, Kristen tried to teach us how to play Rumikub. It didn't work out so well... we were all having a hard time staying focused. I don't even remember how to play, haha.

Kristen took a few pictures of this interesting game...
Me, I'm concentrating so hard. ha.


Katie, she's trying to figure it out.


Jennifer, not even pretending to enjoy it. haha.

Then we quit.

Then we went to dinner...

After dinner everybody just hung out until we had our group/devo time. Jay started it out by saying they've never really had many "tradition" type things they did on the senior ski trip, but he wanted to start one. So, he then said to think of our favorite funny moment and spiritual moment from our whole time in the youth group. We all took a turn sharing, it was a lot of fun, just hearing all these memories being relived. This went on for a long time.

Once group time was over we headed back to our room and hung out and talked for a little while, then we all went to bed. We were all pretty tired and a bit sore, but it was an awesome first day! We could already tell this trip was gonna go by fast.

I'm gonna stop now, but stay tuned, I'm working on posts for the rest of the week already! I should be finished with all this ski trip blogging nonsense before week's end!

Senior Ski Trip!!! (just the first 24 hours, but it's long!)

This is a pretty long post. Mainly because I'm reliving a lot of what happened and not just a little overview of each day. I generally like to tell the whole story or nothing at all. Plus, it's nice for me to look back on and remember all the memories. So, this may not be exciting for you at all. I'll understand if you skip and just look at pictures.

Many of you have already seen my pictures on facebook. All 160 of them! Sheeesh! The sad part, I took WAY more than that. I had such a hard time picking my favorites to put up on facebook, so I have a feeling it's going to be really hard to pick my favorites for the blog, (because there is NO way I'm putting up 160 pictures here.)

I will say I was pretty proud of myself to have such round numbered albums on facebook. (60,60 and 40) :)

Like I said in my last post, we left Sunday night after church and drove through the night, planning on sleeping through the drive--which pretty much happened. The bus didn't completely quite down 'til after our stop in Amarillo at about 1AM. It wasn't too bad. My friend Katie and I had our own seats across from each other, so we laid across the them, kind of like a bed. Except for the fact that it, well... wasn't. I I did sleep, though. I wasn't even sure that would happen, so I consider that a success.

I stole this picture from Katie:

Me and Katie on the bus, looking a bit rough after a looong night. Our poor curly hair... it didn't fair so well..


Bad hair day aside, it was cool to go to sleep in Texas and wake up in Colorado.

AKA- Going to sleep with the flat lands out my window and waking up to enjoy views like this...

Yeah, that was definitely cool.


We got to Keystone around 12PM Monday. We were waiting on the bus for a while, because most of our rooms weren't ready yet. We ended up taking all of our luggage to one room, because we had to go get our ski rentals and get to the ski lesson that afternoon.

Before we headed over to get our rentals, we went to a little pizza place for lunch. It had a big window with a pretty view of a frozen lake...


After lunch we headed to the ski rental shop to get our skis...

Then the people taking ski lessons headed over to the mountain. I couldn't go because I wasn't taking one.

So, I had to head back with some of the guys not taking lessons, which you'll know, if you read my tweets from that day, was an experience... we ended up getting lost on the new and unfamiliar bus systems and didn't get back to our lodge for an hour. (Did I mention I was lugging all of my ski stuff around town for that hour!? Yep, big heavy boots, skis, poles, and my over-sized purse full of stuff for the bus ride.) But, we did get back. Of course, to add fuel to the exhausting fire, I was locked out of the girls room. (AKA- the room with all of the girls' luggage, because our actual rooms weren't ready yet.) But after a call to Jay, who gave me Nikki's number to call, who had Anette come give me a key, I DID get in! I know, I'm confused too. Just so you know, Jay is my awesome youth minister, Nikki is his lovely wife, and Anette is one of the moms that was on the trip.

You're exhausted, aren't you? Believe me, so was I.

After I got into the room I just sat for a minute, then proceeded to tweet about the day so far. After that, I realized this would be the perfect time to call my mom and give her an update. So I did that, then I got some seriously needed hydration from some Powerade I luckily had left over from out stop in Amarillo. Once I got a chance to breathe, I realized I was all alone. It was a weird feeling. The day had been so hectic and full of people up to that point, and all of the sudden it was so quiet and peaceful. Don't get me wrong, it was nice, just felt weird. Not too long after that, one of the moms got back to the room and said that the people taking ski lessons wouldn't be back for at least another hour, so I decided to take a little nap on the chair in the not permanent room.

An hour or so later everyone got back, and all chaos returned to this little room we were all stuck in with our luggage. Thankfully, soon after that, all of our real rooms were assigned and Jay started taking the different groups of girls to their respective cabins. Once it was our turn, ("our" being some of my best friends- Katie, Kristen, Jennifer and Rebekah), Jay helped us get all of our luggage down the stairs and out to the rental Jeep...

Four of us, and half of our luggage, had to fit into the middle seat of the Jeep. It was so crammed, Jay had to close the side door for us, which was not easy. It was quite painful actually, but so funny! We could not stop laughing. Of course, we couldn't let this moment go by without taking a picture, so I had Rebekah, who was in the front seat, get out my camera-- my purse was up in the front because when we got in, we tossed a lot of things up there to make more room-- and she took a few pictures...

First Take: Smiling and pretending to enjoy this interesting ride. Except for Kristen, she didn't get the memo, haha!
Yes, we know we're looking rough. Need I remind you we hadn't really had a moment to freshen up, change clothes, shower, etc. since we got on the bus 24 hours before this!? Considering that, I don't think we look that bad.


Take Two: Showing our true colors of how we feel about this little ride. Kristen looks about the same in both of these pictures. hahaha...

This lovely ride led us to our condo-lodge-thing. It was amazing! Following are the tweets I sent out right after we got there and saw our room for the first time...

"Oh my gosh. I am so glad we had to move cabins. We have the most awesome room now. Like, EVER!"
8:29 PM Mar 16th

"Me, Kristen, Katie, Jennifer, and Rebekah all to our selves in this awesome cabin. It has a little spiral staircase! :)"
8:33 PM Mar 16th

We were too excited to take pictures when we first got there, so these are some I stole from Katie that she took on the morning we left. This is after we lived in it for a week and made it messy, so it doesn't really have the same impact, but you get the idea.

A view of our main living area from the loft. Yes, it's messy.
It was so weird having such a big place to just us five girls, but it was so much fun!


Our little spiral case leading up to the loft. This was sooo much higher and steeper than it looks...

Once we got to our room, we just explored, started getting our stuff out, and relaxed until they called to let us know it was time for supper.


And at some point before supper we all ended up on one of the beds, being goofy and taking pictures with Kristen's camera...

Me, obviously I am ready for this day to be over.


Rebekah looking cute, but tired like the rest of us.


Jennifer, obviously feeling the effects of the day on her psyche.


Katie laughing. Ha.


Then time for dinner.

We had most of out meals that week in the living/dining area of the condo-thing that our youth minister and his wife were staying, since she and some other moms cooked the meals. We also had our group times in there.

We had a late supper, the whole group hung out for a little while and then, instead of having a group/devotion time, Jay just told us all to head back to our condo-room-things and get to bed early, because he knew we were exhausted and needed to rest up before the first day of skiing. We definitely did.

So we headed back, took showers and hit the hay. But not before I had a little bought of altitude sickness. Ha, real fun. I felt great after I threw up my supper, though. I slept like a baby. The best part of getting sick was I didn't have to feel guilty for the over-indulgent Italian meal we had for supper!

I'm sure you wanted to know that.

That was pretty much the first 24 hours of the trip.

I've decided this post is already ridiculously long, so I'm going to stop now and start a new post that will, hopefully, fit the rest of the week.

Hope you enjoyed it. Or at least the pictures.

I'm hoping to get the rest of the trip cranked out in the next few days, so stay with me!
