Washington

We then drove to Washington to see my friend Molly.First, though, we stopped at Mt. Rainier, the worlds most photogenic mountain. We went to the Lodge of Paradise. It was really cool.Then we went to Issaquah and stayed with Molly for 2 days. We had dinner at this pizza place, and then we went and played with the cats, then we played on the computer until it was time for bed.The next day, we got up and Molly presented me with a REALLY COOL stuffed llama and a hat with a pegasus on it. What made them even more cool was the fact that she knitted them FREEHAND. Then we got to Boehms and I got a chocolate fish lollipop and a block of fudge. We ate them and we went to Snoqualmie Falls. After getting sprayed, we went to... the gift shop. We got a lemonade with 2 straws, and I got a bee candle and honey stick. Then we went to her house and we went to 2 playgrounds by ourselves. Soon, it was time to go.

Hello Zada--It must have been great fun to see Molly again. Glad you got to see Mt. Rainier since it is a spectacular sight. Sometimes it is foggy or cloudy and you cannot see the summit. You certainly put a lot of miles on your new car after you got home from Peru. Thank you for all the interesting entries on your blog this summer. You are a very good observer and writer! We feel like we were traveling with you every step of the way.--Love, Uncle Dave, Aunt Nancy, and Kahlua

I have been wanting to cut my hair for a while now but I couldn't because then my hair wouldn't go up in a bun for my ballet classes. But when the last ballet class was over on Wednesday I finally got my hair cut. I decided to donate my hair to Locks of Love. They make wigs for children who have lost their hair due to illness. There were more than 15 inches to donate. Here is the "before" picture: Here is the "after" picture: I did not expect my hair to be as short as my grandma's dachshund. It feels wierd to have short hair again.

July 4, 2008 Last night, we went to bed early, but my parents woke me up at 11:00 PM! We drove to Dallas in the rental car, known as the “dork mobile”. (My family called our rental car that.) We hated that giant, maroon, Californian car. Anyways, I got SO tired that I fell asleep on the duffle bag. If you want MY advice, never fall asleep on a duffle bag, especially if it is filled with hiking boots. If you want to be comfortable, that’s good advice. When we got to Dallas, we returned the Dork Mobile and went to the airport to get on the plane “United”. That flight was VERY exciting! First, there was a mechanical issue, then there was a medical issue and the plane was like a bouncy, covered roller coaster, meaning lots of turbulence. The views were incredible! We flew over southern Utah and saw Lake Powell and hundreds of canyons. I also saw mountains with snow stil...

July 22, 2008 We got into a moving gondola and were lifted off the ground and saw sheep and a luge ride tracks and trees and everything else you can imagine that would be on a mountain. When we got to the top I made a delicious mess of a popsicle/ice cream. Then me and my dad got on a ski-lift, helmets on, one pair of eyes closed. You can guess who that was, right? Correct! Me! We (me and my dad) got our instructions and were off. Before the first bend, I ran into the gravel and the lady had to run over and help me out. After that, the rest went pretty smoothly. After that, we went to Puzzling world. Am I holding up this building? We (again me and my dad) went into the maze and then into the illusion room with a golf ball that ran up, a room where I shrank, and staring dead people. We took videos, pictures and other things and then took to our campground. July 23, 2008 We drove to 4 waterfalls and found giant trouts and numerous pretty rocks. We went over a swing bridge to the “Blue Po...
