Day 7

This post is a part of a series on my three and a half week adventure road tripping to the west coast with three of my best friends in the Summer of 2018. I was challenged to write every day of the trip to document the adventure, so I did! My aim was to be as real and raw as possible while I was documenting and writing. Because of this, some days, I was honestly just not interested in writing, so I wrote very matter of fact “this is what we did.”

Check out the first part of the series here: Day 1 or check out a list of the days here: WCT2018

I wrote everything on my phone’s notes app, and below is word-for-word what I wrote each day. Nothing taken out, no elaborations.

As part of the challenge, I also made sure to take at least one picture every day, and each evening when I wrote, I picked one photo that I wanted to feature from that day. Some days it was hard to pick them, and other days I had only one to pick from.

A couple of notes: Each day that I wrote, I wrote the date, where I was writing from, and how many pictures I had taken that day. So the location doesn’t always reflect where the picture was taken.

Today was a nice and relaxing day. After getting to Josh and Mel’s last night, we were all finally able to get a shower and eat a delicious home-cooked meal. Today, we just did some laundry, ate some breakfast, Josh and Mel showed us around the apple orchard they work at, and then we got some pre-lunch ice cream before going to a taco truck in Pasco.

We said goodbye from there and drove to Portland to our Airbnb. We decided to eat out one night while we were here in Portland, and we decided tonight was as good of a night as any. We went to a pizza place called “Life of Pie” (5/10), then we went to a fresh food market to get more ice cream:P and took it to our Airbnb to eat while watched the good ol’ Monty Python.

It’s fun finally have a place inside to ourselves that we can really kind of just spread out. It has been a day of exactly the rest that we needed!
