Hi Everyone, Ok this is a looonnnngggg entry, but it's worth reading! Trust me =)

I've been on a summer vacation glor! as with my sister Gloriana and her husband and daughter. We went to swim in her cool swimming pool on friday july 21st and for her birthday went to a huge big lake to swim for almost the whole day!
It was so much fun! I ate and ate and ate that day. There was a barbaque and loads of food to eat. I did not leave hungry. Thumbs up!

As tradition, every summer vacation, I play MYST III EXILE for fun cause it's my favorite game in the MYST series out of all five. I love playing it! Especially when it's been a long time and I feel like I'm visiting on old favorite memory spot!
I am practicly a walking guidebook for that game because I've played it so many time by myslef in the past years and with a friend of mine who for some reason kept forgetting what happend in the game and kept replaying it. Now I'm slightly helping my niece Alexis and really helping my nephew Markese play. It's so nice to do this again because my friend who played this so many times doesn't do it anymore. I only like to play this game in the summer as a traditional fun memory revisited every summer vacation. It's so nice to have one computer game that you never get tired of. Myst I think is a very hard game to forget especially the rich graphics in my favorite worlds. That's what inspired me to make my world that I later decided to also make into a story. That's the one I've been blogging about in my last entry and the entry before.


On the second week of August, my whole family and I are going for a week to stay at Oceanside beach. There's so many places to explore there, there's a little town by the beach with lots of little houses to stay at and a lotte shop, a resterant, a post office, etc etc. Even a firehouse with a big siren on the top of it. Sometimes when I've been there in the past I've gotten to hear it go off. It's really LOUD!!!!!

On the beach you can go through a real tunnle to another beach on the other side of this cliff that sit at the end of the beach. There is also a point where the tide comes in and goes out if you prefere walk around it instead of using the tunnle.

On the second beach if you go early you can find sometimes really huge agates on the ground and if you go over to the rock piles where another big cliff is, you can find little or sometimes big, geod rocks that you can collect and take home with you!

If the tide is really far out on the second beach, you can go around the next point and get to this huge big cave called "The Lost Boy Cave" I've been going to it since I was 8 years old! I don't always get to get inside every year though, so it's really exciting when I do.

Finally, there's one more beach beyond the lost boy cave that you can now drive to because someone put in stairs on the cliff side that extends from beach two all the way to this beach which is beach 4.

Right next to the Lost Boy Cave are these big rocks that are packed with huge geods that you can hammer or pull out! You can also climb over the rocks to get into the Lost Boy Cave if you've friven to Beach 4. We call beach 4 "The Lost Boy Cave Beach" There are also waterfalls on different areas of the cliff and you can see a light house far off in the distance.

You can also see this beach from the Lighthouse and from the area where the Octopus Tree is located.
There's also a drift wood beach where you can build or find forts made out of driftwood!

You can have bondfires on beach 1 and roast mashmellows, sing songs, and look at the huge stare galaxy above which is absalutly for reals! I saw a medier shower last time I was there, shooting stars everywhere! Evertime I go I always manage to see an orange or some kind of light across the ocean! I havent figured out if its a boat, a lighthouse, or an actual star.

Where I stay there's a telescope in my room and a sliding screendoor whith a little porch outside and a table and chairs.
Through the telescope I've seen sealions on the big rocks on the ocean, I've also tried to get a close up on the moon and stars.

There's a funny clock in the kitchen that says "who cares" and has the numbers scattered everywhere HEE HEE,
and there's a swing and a bondfire pit in the back yard. The walls of the house all wooden some are panted but the hallways are plain wood before its sanded it's so gorgious oh my gosh. If you guys haven't been to Oceanside beach yet.
You got to check out! There's so much to do there!

I forgot! There's a factory in Tillamook that makes my favorite cheese, it's right outside of Oceanside HEE HEE. At the factory you can see how they make cheese and shop at all the little shops and you can get diffent styles of icecream there like: diffent cones, cups and spoon style and of course diffect ice cream flavers. My favorite one that I've tried that's rare to find is black cherry Ice cream it's super delicious! My favorite little shop is the giftshop, I found some fantacy, celtic or old fashion definition for the word "Gothic" jewlry there.

Anyway we're going to Oceanside and i'm so excited!!!!
