Camping!!

Well I can't even say how awesome the camping trip was. It had to be one of the best ways to start out the summer. I'm thinking that it will be difficult for the rest of this summer to compare to the camping experience. Let's see... Saturday we got there fairly quickly and spent the day just setting up and playing games and stuff. Sunday we went to the beach in Santa Cruz where we had some issues with the locals... apparently people in "nor cal" have issues with people from "so cal"... which we all thought was pretty funny because we don't treat people like that here (maybe some "so calians" do, but I don't know any). Monday we drove up to San Francisco and had a blast there. Tuesday we went on a 3 mile hike to a river and spent the day splashing around and laying out in the sun, and then went up to the observatory at night and layed around gazing at the stars. Also on tuesday and Wednesday night we went to this amazingly delicious icecream place called Marianne's and rocked out outside of the store to Queen and ACDC having a whole dance party, getting some of the locals to join in, it was SO MUCH fun. Wednesday the girls went shopping in downtown Santa Cruz where there was a huge Urban Outfitters, and a bunch of other expensive similar stores. And this morning we packed up and headed home after stopping to eat lunch at Bubba Gump's in Monteray!
All in all the trip was so nice because it was so relaxing, no time schedules, lots of sleeping in and hanging out late at night around the campfire. 5 days with 15 people you would think there would be some people getting on each others nerves, but nothing like that happened, it was awesome.
One of the best parts was last night where we all sat around the fire and each took a turn answering questions like "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?" and "What's 1 thing you want to do before you die?" and "What's something you are proud of yourself for?". And at the end of it all some were moved to tears and we all sat in silence for a few minutes just thinking about the trip and eachother and life, it was so amazing. The whole trip is one of those I don't think I will ever forget, it couldn't have gone any better.
Hmm I was trying to make it a short post but I think I failed at that one... oh well!
