Summer=WATER

Friday I played hookie from work and went to beautiful Sauvie's Island and convinced a hand full of friends to do the same. Then we got a MAJOR craving for burgers and shakes at the Northwest's finest Burgerville. I don't know whose brilliant idea it was to put calorie and fat intake on the items ordered on the receipt but we all got freaked out that one meal could equal more than a recommended daily calorie intake. I don't think that's going to help them sell burgers.

Then Saturday I met friends at their apartment complex to swim which was kind of a fiasco. This was one of those HUGE complexes with twenty buildings and apartment numbers like 287649. Turns out it also had FOUR pools. After a series of phone calls that were all "We're next to a brown building, there are a lot of kids in the pool, I'm looking at apartment number 87653!" After--no joke-- 30 minutes and three wrong pools later, Brandon and I were so fed up we were walking back to the car to go home, we heard one shrill scream, followed by a splash and knew we finally found the pool with our friends.

Lastly, Sunday Brandon and I went to the Oregon Coast and froze our butts off. The above picture can demonstrate--that red nose is no sunburn! Going there is more about the fresh seafood, ice cream, taffy and beautiful drive.
