Road Trip To Redmond

I do believe this is Bucket List number six. I have an awesome friend named Mason that I love. Every year, we make it a habit to hang out at least once during the summer. It used to be when my dad had a conference in Seaside-- where she used to live-- that I would just stay there and we would hang out for a bit. Last year she moved to Redmond, so we have to go a little more out of our way to get together. Nevertheless, faithfully, for the past three summers, we have found a way to get together and become better friends. This year has been no exception.
The three hour drive started with a prayer and a bit of spazzyness. We were heading to Mt. Hood, the designated meeting spot. We sang songs, read books, and entertained ourselves in a very "Hess" style. As we arrived we saw vultures and beautiful rivers and TONS of town I didn't even know existed.
We called them and hung up, sent them texts that came with no reply. As we got to the campsite, we didn't know where exactly we would be heading. Finally, we called and we got that all squared away. When we met we hugged and freaked as most teenage girls do. I said my good byes to my three little obnoxious brothers and sister, and gave my mom a hug and kiss. Mason and I were on our way to Redmond.
The View was AMAZING:
