caithreamSometimes I wonder if it's weird, the fact that I've made better friends with the most amazing people that I've met online than with people I know in real life.
Then I think, nah, not so much.
Can I tell you, for just one second, how much I love mountains? Like, desperately? I'm 21, I've lived in Florida my whole life, I've never seen snow, and just going out to places like these that are so, SO different from anything I've ever known makes me wonder in awe how people who live in these kinds of places can just go about their day without noticing. I guess it's the same way with me living here and living 15 minutes away from a beach my entire life and not really caring, but still. Every time I go out west or up north I want to flail around and point like an idiot and go, "You LIVE around here! HOW COOL IS THAT." Sigh!
HAHA, SO, in Dubois, Idaho, we had to stop for a pee break, and we pull in and it's the shadiest rest stop we've ever seen, no lie. AND there was that car parked there, with this dude just standing outside with a cooler and the shades up in his car and we were like WTF WTF RAPE STOP. So every rest stop we came to we had to check and see if it was a Rape Stop first, like you do.
SO, this is pretty much Kate's backyard, in Montana. I kind of hate her guts.
Somewhere in the road right on the border of Montana and Idaho we stopped at this rest stop (thankfully not a rape stop) and there were these... CREATURES. I have no idea what the hell they are, besides gopher-chipmunk-squirrel... things. And, of course, people thought they were the CUTEST THINGS EVER (they are!), which unfortunately made them feed the animals, and so now they're going to die come this winter. SAD.
WELL, since they're already on their way out, we couldn't help ourselves. I cannot BELIEVE they got that close to us.
D'AWWWHAWWW.
Contrary to what many people think, Idaho is GORGEOUS, if you know where to look. This is up on the panhandle.
And then we stopped in some tiny, TINY Sam-n-Dean town in Shoshone country for a pit stop. I found a motel that they would TOTALLY stop at, ha.
HAHA THESE GAS PUMPS WHAAAT.
Eeee, coming in to the city of Seattle!
YAY PIKE'S PLACE!
Oh how we loled. OH HOW WE LOLED.
KATIE-FAAAACE.
Me being SUPER GLEEFUL about buying my drink from the first Starbucks oh yeaaaaah.
The Seattle Aquarium!
At the touch-pools, Kate got REALLY excited to feel up the green sea anenome.
HAHA.
Thank GOD someone left all that scuba gear around, otherwise I wouldn't have had the opportunity to pee my pants.
NEMOS AND DORY. They were in a tank all by themselves, hee!
WHAT UP.
LOOK AT THIS MOTHERFUCKER. We were trying to eat lunch outside by the pier next to Ivans (bad idea, really) and a seagull had already taken a shit on my knee and this one was just STARING DOWN, WAITING FOR HIS OPPORTUNITY. >:(
OH THE STUPID GLEE I HAD, I CANNOT EVEN TELL YOU.
Haaai Seattle!
Clearly me and Lauren are too awesome for words.
Yeah, unfortunately too cloudy to see Mt. Rainer. :(( That's the very tip top of it, sort of center right. I didn't realize it was so huge!
When Boredom Strikes.
AHAHA AHAHAHAAA OKAY, we were back at Lauren's place after we finished Seattle, and Chrissy was like, PUT IN ASYLUM, THERE'S THIS REALLY FUNNY THING I HAVE TO SHOW YOU. When Kat and her boyfriend are waiting after Sam leaves and when Dean comes around the corner and Kat shoots at him, he makes the most AMAZING SURPRISED FACE EVER. We were DYING.
On our way to Canada!
HOLY SHIT I'M IN NO-MAN'S LAND.
This is what our bungalow-like motel room looked like from the door. Old, but very cool. Also, KATE'S BAGEL.
Kitchen!
You may think this is an ordinary picture of an ordinary lamp on an ordinary stand, BUT WAIT, WATCH THIS:
IT'S THE SAME LAMP AND STAND. AHAHAH the SPN set-makers are KIND OF AMAZING.
Drunk Kate is drunk.
At Stanley Park!
And this is at the Capilano River area, near the huge-ass suspension bridge.
SAID HUGE-ASS SUSPENSION BRIDGE. Pictures do NOT do it justice. It's 230 feet high and wobbles like a mofo when a good number of people are on it, WHICH THERE WAS. There may or may not be video of me freaking out a bit. :>
But the view's pretty amazing.
BEST. PICTURE. EVER.
And this is right near the Cleveland Dam, where they filmed Simon Says. SO PRETTY.
UGHGHAHGA.
Ahfasdjjs, St. Andrews, where they filmed Houses of the Holy and Pollo Loco for Dark Angel is SO. GORGEOUS. And we met these two old ladies who were super nice and adorable and gave us pamphlets and were all, "LOOK AT EVERYTHING! TAKE PICTURES! COME BACK AT 6PM FOR OUR JAZZ SERVICE! YAYE!" Seriously, so cute.
Down near Delta, on that road where they filmed Everybody Loves a Clown. MT BAKER IS SO PRETTY.
And this is the Washington view of it, coming back down into the states.
Aaaand driving back through the eastern part of Washington, which looks so much different from the western part.
Ah man. 2500 miles in a car, 7 to 11 hours at a time, it doesn't matter. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. And hopefully next year, we'll be able to again. :D
