A Big Trip To St. Johns

Well, this past weekend was a blast! It was a mini-vacation for me. I rented a motel room in St. Johns (crazy I know) and just enjoyed cruising around and seeing friends. I missed all of my classmates that weren't there, but it was fun seeing everyone. We rode the float (bails of hay on a trailor) for the Homecoming Parade, then I went out to El Camino (you always have to eat there when you go home) with Saira and Jose's family. We then went to the football game where SJ beat Sanders 67 to 0. We were honored at half time which was kind of embarassing, they call your name as you walk out on the field and stand there for a couple of minutes, then go back to your seat. Then on Saturday I drove around and took pictures of my Elementary, Junior High and High School. Then Saturday night we had dinner at SRP Prairie Schooner, which was fun seeing everyone. We had music playing from songs that were popular in high school, and ate so much food! I also visited my Grandpa Hall in Eager (that's where he is buried), and I took pictures of my old house (which looks like crap by the way, I hate it) and my Grandpa and Grandma Hall's old house. All in all, this was a fantastic trip....I loved my mini-vacation
