Harry Potter World & Dragons

Go to a theme park and ride a roller coaster 5 times.

Yes, I rode the Dragon Challenge in Harry Potter World five times… I actually rode it four times consecutively. It was a blast! The ride splits into the Chinese Fireball and the Hungarian Horntail, so I didn’t have the opportunity to get bored of it. My favorite was the Hungarian Horntail side. No wait, the Chinese Fireball. I can’t decide… I think I need to ride it 50 more times… ;)

(Not So) Giant Sand Castles

Build a giant sandcastle.

With the help of my family, I was able to build the sandcastle pictured above. I’m no architect, but I’m proud of how well it turned out. The castle is in the form of an arrow to symbolize my belief that everything has a point (pun intended) as well as my search for happiness. The arrow is facing the ocean because the ocean can be fickle and restless, calm and relaxed, just as my search for happiness is. Plus, the shape was a mistake I incorporated into something beautiful, as all mistakes should be.

Breakfast Sparkling Cider

Drink a bottle of sparkling cider for breakfast.

My friend Sandra is visiting from Oregon and I have been trying to show her the awesomeness of Washington. So far, Sandra and I have walked the Tacoma Mall, visited with some friends, walked along Titlow Beach, and eaten very good food.

All the activities had kept us up quite late and we’ve been consistently sleeping in later and later.  This morning, I woke up around 8am and visited my sister’s room. Later, erm, well, around noon, I woke up again. After waking up Sandra, I made us a lovely quick breakfast of egg-on-toast and celebrated our time together by popping a bottle of grape sparkling cider. It was DELICIOUS. I don’t know why we don’t do this more often. I think everyone should celebrate the day with a little bubbly for breakfast!
