So today was a driving day. And not like other driving days. We drove two days in one. Oh yeah. Fun? No. Did we stop anywhere fun? No. Did we eat Yawbus? Yes, of course. Did we take a lot of pictures? Oh my yes. Will you see all of them? Most of them.

It's even boring to think about. Did anything fun happen? I don't think so.

Oh wait!!! Something fun DID happen! YEAH! We got water at a healthfood store in Garberville! Where is that!? No idea! But wow! Fun!

We also passed a Reggae Festival with a bunch of really dumb looking white kids.

Pretty much it was the same route we took to Eugene.

So I guess that's it. Sooo... check out the pictures. We got bored and took them. Nikki annoyed me (Eric) by trying to take a picture of my ear. Yeah, it bugged me for some reason. Crazy. Those pictures will not be shown. I was not amused. She almost got a plane ticket home. Oh yeah. Big time.

Enjoy the pics!

Well, well, well. Back in Santa Rosa. At Cole's house, of course. Many kitties!

Funny thing is that while we were gone, Princess was wondering around looking for us. Could you blame her? Nope. Hehe.

Cole had to work from11 - 7, so most of the day was spent wandering around looking for things to do. Nothing stressful, of course. Nothing really that exciting to the reader, either.

We ate lunch at Slice of Life, which is an all vegetarian pizza (etc) place. We had pizza and it was freakin AWESOME. Why can't we have vegan pizzas around where we live? I just don't know.

There was a healthfood supermarket (yeah, supermarket, just one of many out here), and Smashers got a thing of organic strawberries. Wow. Just yum.

After Slice of Life & strawberries, we thought it would be fun to drive up to Bodaga Bay to see where they filmed some scenes from The Birds. You know, Hitchcock's lovely little flick. We were driving up Route 1, and I saw, out of the corner of my eye, the school house from the film. Turns out we drove past it last time we went to the beach. Same place! Cool! 

This place was fun. It was turned into a house, but part of it is a gift shop and part is a house now. The inside looks nothing like it did, but the outside is much the same. Bippity Boppity Now Now Now.

I got a tshirt! Woo! Has birds chasing kids down the street in front of the school. Fun!

Then we got to the beach. Which was the exact same beach where we were before. Only this time it wasn't with Cole since she was at work. Nikki and Smashers braved the icy cold water and waded up to their ankles. Smash sat down and Nikki changed into a swimsuit (sort of). She walked in up to her calves. COLD! I caught the face with my camera. Classic.

I thought she was going to totally wuss out, but no! She amazed me by actually fully submersing herself while trying to body surf. It was funny and sad and just... well, it was hilarious. She had a blast though and that's what matters.

Nikki had plans to meet up with Jo Jo around 6, so we sped back to the house, and then to Jo Jo's. Smashers and I stayed at Cole's, mostly because we had to pick Cole up from work at 7. That and we weren't sure if it was just a Nikki and Jo Jo thing or if we were invited too. But Smash and I bought food to make and then confusion reigned as normal.

Cole, Smash and I hung around the house and just sort of hung around the house. Nikki called several times, but I think we were just so beat that we didn't feel very sociable. I completely apologize to Jo Jo for that. In retrospect, I (at least) should have sucked it up.

Smash and I picked up Nikki from Jo Jo's around 11. Jo Jo has an incredibly cool house. I wish we could have taken pictures. I forgot my camera. HUGE surprise there. Anyway, very cool house. Very cool girl. If she doesn't come visit us in Pennsylvania, I'm personally waging war on California. Got it? Good.

Oh and then sleep. Yep. Sweet, sweet sleep.
