How I Spent My Summer Boring Style

This series is my attempt to create a fun alternative to the boring "how I spent my summer" essay. So, of course the first thing that needs to be done is to write the boring "how I spent my summer" essay. Enjoy!

I started my summer by going to Mexico on a mission trip with the Bowman United Methodist Church. Then I helped move my father from Bowman, ND, to Bozeman, MT. Then I went to a wedding in Minot and headed to Bowman to visit some relatives who were visiting from the West Coast. Then I was supposed to fly to Louisville to help my sister move to Chandler, AZ, but I only could fly to Chicago due to thunderstorms and tornadoes. I ended up with four other stranded travelevers in a car driving to Louisville. So I helped my sister pack and the movers came and we hopped in the car and drove for two solid days from heat with humidty to heat with extreme intensity. Then I took summer school (the Northern Plains Writing Project) and learned all kinds of cool things and gained confidence as a writer (and started this blog). Then I hopped in th car and drove to Bozeman one day and Forest Grove, Oregon, the next (it is just west of Portland) to visit Kari and Jeremy. We went to OMSI (science museum), Powells (massive bookstore), the tennis court (multiple times), the ocean, the Ape Caves by Mt. St. Helens, kayaking, and dog training. Then I drove to Seattle, WA, to visit my aunt Judy. We went to her company picinic at the zoo, an outdoor movie in the park, ran errands, visited my cousins, to work, to a Mariner's game (they actually won), and kayaking. On my way back to North Dakota I spent a few days with my father and brother in Bozeman. It was a very busy summer.
