Day 6, 7 and 8

DAY SIX: We basically skipped this day since we spent most of it with Kayla.

DAY SEVEN: We left pretty late come Monday, but come Monday I wasn’t really prepared not taking my best friend home and I hated it. I always had her when I was alone and now I really don’t have anyone. She was there when I lost Austin, she helped with the kids and just always brought me happiness. 

 I know I have Isaac, but him and we don’t have a relationship like Kayla and I have. I can’t wait until I see her again in January though!! We left and I drove to Seattle and we go there around 6 or so, guys they have a three story target. LIKE WHAT THE HECK!
We walked around for about 20 minutes then we found what I came to Seattle for, the original Starbucks. 

I can tell you I wasn’t disappointed because they had sandwiches, pizza, dessert pies and souvenirs but mostly they had 5 or more different types of roasts of just black coffee and they didn’t have the regular menu but they had a dark chocolate mocha like the white chocolate mocha I normally have. Still super yum, duh.

  We roamed Seattle for an hour or so but we decided to gas up and head out. Isaac drove for about 6 hours before I took over again and from then on he slept. With how much he slept and didn’t stay awake even after pit stopping and smoking, I didn’t think he felt well. He mentioned a few times in our friendship that he has some medical issues that haven’t been diagnosed yet, but It got really bad last night. I had to somehow forked out money for a hotel, but I’m glad because I started to feel pretty shitty myself but it is what it is. In the morning I got some pool time, because you can't go to a hotel and NOT swim int he pool! It's a must!

DAY EIGHT: I smoked right after we woke up and headed out for the day, my pain pretty much uplifted and Isaac seems to be more upbeat since he got a good nights sleep. We loaded my baby up with water and loaded her up with Nightmare OG, so smooth and delicious. After about 15 hours, we finally arrived home, or more so Isaac returned home because i put my butt right into work as soon as i got there! Were looking forward to more trips and just some trippy times. Stay Tuned <3

Day 3, 4 and 5

Suffering through day 3, we mainly slept throughout the day, we were high often but tired more. The trip railed us with exhaustion and we couldn't handle much. We opened up a bit more but day 4 was where we took off guys, let me tell you.

 First, we started off at the market where it was super dope place! It was just like a high craft market, where you'll find fresh veggies and plants. gorgeous and some of the art work was phenomenal! I obviously got hungry, so I had this huge burrito with Sausage, egg, cheese and bacon with gravy inside for only $6.00. Best Breakfast Ever. We wandered around for a few minutes more before heading off but then Isaac got this dope handmade pipe from a vender to whom filled the pipe for him of sweet sweet OG kush.

We ran back to the house and got changed up before heading out to the coast, from then it was a beautiful hour long drive. I didn’t snag pictures mostly because I was in between people in the car, hate to invade personal bubbles, and because it was just so dang beautiful an image couldn’t hold how amazing it was.
 On our way out, we stopped at this place called Sea Lion Caves, we didn’t really have the funds to go down to the caves but the views from the gift shop was amazing! The air is crisp and super clean, the breeze was made it 100% more chilly but it was worth it because it was breathtaking.

Once we got to this hiking trail, Kaylas dad Chad was raving about, we hiked a mile to the beach. Along the way, we had so much fun finding alternate routes and the views were incredible but what it made it all perfect was the ocean itself. We shortly found the beach and the shoes came off and I was instantly running to the water. It was FUCKING cold but it was the perfect feeling, every time a wave hit my legs I felt the stress come off and I felt free. It was what I really needed in the moment of grief and it was perfect, with perfect people and perfect weather. 

 Isaac met up with me shortly afterwards, we saw sand crabs and baby turtles swimming with the coast against the sand, it was an amazing. I climbed this rock and found urchins and muscles and the homes that Nemo and Merlin lived in! On our walk back, I found this stick and shells for the boys and I couldn’t express to Isaac how much I appreciated him coming on this trip. 

 We finally met up with everyone and we headed up the DREADED trail, guys this trail was mean. it was nice though to experience. We got back to the car and headed to downtown Florence to the pier for ice cream! I found this dope bong I really wanted, it was awesome as fuccck!! I really am waiting for the bong that calls for me, because i’m not sure it’s here, i’ll probably get a small one here and then keep my search up for THE ONE.
We got back and ran to some more shops where we got this stuff called “watermelon skittles” guys it’s the bomb. So clean and crisp and it was tested a month ago from purchasing. Amazing! Kaylas dad fixed up dinner, something called Hobo Dinners, they’re phenomenal man. Super great, you lay down tin foil and then add whatever you wanted and then wrap the foil up and heat it over the grill. YUM.
 Now we’re sitting here on day 5 just smoking and chilling before we head home tomorrow, just a vibing day. We ended up later in the evening going to the smoke shop buying my new baby, she’s pretty nice, my bong.

Until next time,

Day Two

DAY TWO:

We stopped at some gas station is Wyoming and slept for a solid couple hours, just to refresh for the trip since traveling through the mountains can do that to you.

Driving through Wyoming is probably everything you imagined it would be, it's a lot of pastures and trees and even then it isn't the prettiest. Isaac insisted on driving, even through I was willing to trade spots with him and even then we have Kayla in the back that we really didn't want her driving. No offense to my love Kayla, but sometimes her driving makes us nervous and we are already nervous driving 20+ hours to the coast from the midwest.

We didn't do much stopping but driving through Idaho, we didn't like how much it just smelled HAHA. It smelt like an animal farm, like straight up ass. We drove into Oregon, it was so beautiful because there were so many mountains and views, it was just breathtaking!

 Once we hit Oregon we found some dispensaries we stopped in and grabbed like 4 joints for the last 5 hours stretch, we were gonna need it! We picked up Blue Frost, Berry Gushers, Candy land and OG kush x strawberry diesel. They were all really good! I eventually started swelling unexpectedly, took some Benadryl and just kept an eye on it. Thankfully it all went down by the time the night ended.

Once we officially hit Eugene, aka our destination, it was about 5:30PM and we were hungry. We set up our tent and went to go get ramen, lemme tell you about this Ramen though! It was enough for Isaac and I to share alone and still have some left, but it was so good! The broth choices and they style of ramen you'd like was amazing!! What makes it even better was the reheat the next day, sometimes you can't always do that and still taste bomb as fuck the next day. I'll post day three tomorrow, byeeeee. 

Day One

This trip is based on family and bettering ourselves, mostly self care. If you can’t love yourself, sometimes it’s hard to love others. Recently, I’ve lost someone very important to me and my littles and now I’m on an adventure on finding myself and what better way than do it with my friends. So during the course of my adventures, I’ll share: feelings, pictures, scenery and many many smiles. 

So lemme introduce all of us shall I; I'm Andrea, I'm currently 23 and on my first adventure with some of my BEST friends ever. First there's Kayla, she's asleep in the back haha, she's my ride or die, she's my best friend for life. Whenever the worst possibly thing that has happened in my life so far, I had her there literally right by my side through it all. She knows me in and out, she understands some of the things I do daily and sometimes she knows it's just a way of healing. We also have my favorite, Isaac. Isaac, I met him at a job we worked together and he had this vibe that I really enjoyed working with, he's sweet and he's also listening. We connect, shockingly, more with the events that has happened this year than we normally do. 

Adventure one starts in Kansas City, MO. We’re traveling 33 hours from Kansas City, MO all the way DRIVING, to Eugene OR to see my best friend, Kayla’s father, Isaac has been the champ and driving way more this trip than we anticipated  We started a little later than normal but we reached Denver, CO around 11:30AM on Tuesday April 30th. We then made our first stop at a place called LightShade Dispensary. I visited my very first dispensary! It was super cool, you walked in and everyone was so nice to you and they made you feel at home. They took my ID and I casually waited in their waiting room with every intention of being nervous because who wouldn’t be nervous purchasing weed in public at a public store?! They pulled me into this code entry locked room where they asked me “how I’d like to get high today?” My response was “I’m driving 20 more hours to Oregon so I’m going to need something that’ll wake me up” that’s where I met NYC disel with 28.2% thc. Smoking one of to he two pre rolled joint’s we got, was the smoothest joint I’ve hit in a while. It was a straight stevia, uh hello energy!

Heading out of the dispensary to the best part of them all was the hiking trail, let me tell you how much I enjoyed the shit of the views. It was stunning. We arrived at Chautauqua Park Trail. It looked like it had recently rained and we were kindve pressed on time due to a late start. Isaac attempted to nap in the car as Kayla and I went on a small scenic tour and pit stopped in their restrooms. From this destination on, we still had to drive 20 hours to get to our destination, so our time here was short lived but it was amazing. We then drove down the road to get gas and coffee, smoke a joint and hit the road once more. I'll see you soon Colorado! 

  

 Since leaving boulder, we’ve been going straight to Eugene, OR from there and it’s been very eventful. I’ve driven through two snow storms and a thunderstorm in the mountains. My anxiety started acting a little crazy but there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel and if you didn’t believe me…I have the proof to show you that we not only went through an actual tunnel but we also saw the sunsetting upon Wyoming’s small city.

I think making one of the last switches in the car before we actually arrive we are finally on our overnight haul! See y'all tomorrow!!!
