Labor Day Ice Cream hunt

I needed something to do Monday. So L and I went for a drive. We drove...and drove and drove. All over the state of Oregon. Ok, so maybe not really, but we drove a lot. Some how ended up in Willsonville. L saw and Wendy's and decided gettings Frostys was a good idea. Of course I am a-ok with that. Now we're driving some more with Frostys. Delicious tasty Frostys. You know what we should do? Try a bunch of different ice creams! We already have these tasty Frostys. They're good to start with...a nice pallet clense if you will...Now...Let's try Sonic! I've never actually been there. Do we even know how to get there? No. Who cares?!
Drive drive drive. She knows the general area. We take an exit and drive. Turn and drive some more. Pass a sign that say's there is nothing this direction (no really...is said Portland with an arrow one direction, Hillsboro with an arrow the other direction, and they way we were going only had an arrow. No words). Random...Drive some more. Turn. L's cousin lives near here. He should know where it is. She calls. We're on this and this, where is Sonic? We should be able to see it from here? Hmmm...
Oh sweet! There it is! Order. Have issues with the credit card machine. Stupid electronics....
Pretty good sundae. Mmmm cheese sticks. Moving on!
Since we already woke up L's cousin once...why not do it again? So we head to his house. He's not home. Funny stuff. We hang out with her family for a little while. Watch the squirrely dog chase the ball a bunch.
After a while we take off and head out on our journey. Only now it's later, we're driving towards town and honestly all the junk food I've eaten over the weekend is really starting to catch up with me. L says she wants some real food...So lets go to her favorite bar and get some fries. Hahaha deal.
Get to the bar. She knows the bartender and a couple of the girls there. They are awesome. We watch one girl give another a hawaiian shirt for some scavenger hunt. We laugh as they joke about how big the shirt is. And it is BIG. Make some tweaks. Tie it instead of button....roll up the sleeves. Problem solved! Now it's at least wearable.
L has a drink and we share some fries. Tasty delicious fries.
We see a guy with a dog come bouncing up outside. Yes....bouncing. He was wearing the weirdest effing shoes! They were like moon boots....pogo feet....trampoline shoes! Weird ass stuff. Bouncy bouncy...His dog is giant and fluffy. He stops to talk to some people sitting outside the bar and then his girlfriend comes bouncing along in the same shoes! Only...hers are pink. Weird. They laugh and bounce. Someone outside mocks their bounciness. We all laugh. They leave. And eventually come back to go the other direction.
They are non stop smiling....I think I need some moon boot trampoline bouncy shoes. Just to play with in the back yard when I have a brownie....
Eventually we say goodbye to the awesome friends L has and head home. Ok, so it wasn't a day full of ice cream as it was supposed to be...but it was still fun!
