Exciting Adventures

While I lived in Saipan I had exciting adventures. We'd hop in the back of Old Rusty and have a good ole' adventure. Whether it'd be hiking, scuba diving, taking the kids to the beach, driving to bonzai, or going to Joeten we had an adventure. We met new people, loved life, and laughed a lot.
I try to do those things as much as I can. Me and my girlfriends jumped in the car on Saturday morning to head to the beach. It was Ruth's, my roomies, choice of beach this time. She had to pick Laguna. I knew it'd be crowded, because of Labor day weekend. In knew the water would be cold and the sun "MIGHT" be out, but I was in desperate need of an adventure. As we drove closer to laguna we ran into some detour signs on the road. Funny thing is, when you normally run into "detour" signs they lead you around to get to the same place. Not these detour signs. They didn't take us anywhere! We were lost and we knew we were within 1o minutes of the beach. I could smell the salt in the air.
We stopped at a Del Taco, because they don't eat Taco Bell here. That's another beef I have with this place, but I won't get into that now. Anyways- we stopped to get directions. We got them and went on our way. It took us 2 hours to get to the beach that was 10 minutes away. I really wasn't in the mood for the beach after that. It wasn't an adventure anymore---
It was crowded and to get away from the crowds I jumped in the cold water. Surprisingly I LOVED it. I had so much fun jumping the waves and talking to this surfer girl. She gave me some marathon tips from her last run and encouraged me to keep going. :)
My day turned out to be A-OKAY.


The best adventures aren't planned.

I'll post pics in a bit. Peace out-
