I'm Leaving On a Jet Plane



Well, here I am, in Virginia. Yesterday was my last day in Burley, and I filled it with classic Burley activities. First, I went to the parade. Yes, it's the same every year and no, it's not anything too thrilling, but it's Burley. It's just one of those things that you do every year. After the parade I went to lunch at Edith's. That is something that can only be done in Burley. They have THE best burgers and I'm glad that I got to have one before they were no longer an option. Then I went boating. Another one of those things that you just do if you are in Burley. I didn't think that I would have the chance to go again before I left, but we managed to squeeze a few hours of wakeboarding in. So fun. After boating, we went to the fair. I will never understand why the fair is such a big deal, but it is. I didn't feel like I could leave for Virginia without going to the fair for a minute. Mostly I had to get a maple bar. There is nothing better than hot maple bars from my stake's fair booth. YUMM! Then the best friends came over for one last night together. We played Trivial Pursuit. We were terrible at it, but it was fun. Eventually I had to do that whole goodbye thing. I really hate that. I'm going to miss those kids....and my family....a lot.

I finally got to sleep around 2:30 and was up at 3:30, so that I could be ready to go by 4:00. My dad and I traveled all day. Now we are in the hotel room, excited to catch up on the sleep that we missed last night. Tomorrow will be an exhausting day. Also it's raining. Yuck.
