It’s finally here! I’ve been waiting for this day to come! My parents left for Maui (ya that's right, Maui, Hawaii!) on the 23rd. my sister, Erika, and I joined them today for two weeks of wonderful relaxing, fun filled weeks of sunshine, barbecues, sunsets, and just plain laying in the soft sand doing nothing!!! I’m sooo excited! some of my friends are going to be with us, and that sweetens the pie just perfectly!
To start our trip off , Erika and I began at a little train station way out in nowhereville!I’m telling you, it was like I’d been stuck in a twilight zone! It was so neat. Imagine you walk in from the rain , tugging your luggage. Complete silence, except for the pitter patter rain outside and the constant tick of the clock. You walk up to the counter , and, behind the glass there sits and elderly, sweet, old man wearing a conductor’s hat. Are you there? Well, after sitting doing nothing for about half a hour, You hear a loud train whistle. Everyone ( all ten of them) rush to the platform, ready to get aboard the huffing puffing engine. I loved it!
After two and half hours of stopping at every little town between olympia and Portland, we finally made it to our destination! Our very nice friends picked us up and generously let us spend the night at their house, (which was soooooo fun!) and then drove us the airport! Thank you Feliciano's!!! 
Erika was having fun with her camera! Hence the picture! Well, anyway my parents picked us up from the airport! I didn’t realize how much I had missed them and Ronni and Dylan until I saw them! Dylan was soooo sweet, he kept wanting to give Erika and Me kisses and hugs and just hold our hand! I love him sooo much! So that was pretty much our first day! I already miss everybody but I’m sure I’m going to have a great time anyway!:)
