Welcome Ky! Hot air balloon ride

Hey peeps,  ky here. The oldest member to the crew.. but the newest member to the traveling crew! I will be around alot so let me do a little bio about myself . I like mojitos with fresh mint leaves and getting caught in the rain.... eright lets be honest..... I cry randomly when Im driving alone and hear a good song....(thats my secret that is def not a secret anymore) I will not cry over a guy. Thanks though! I read a ton... but cant spell for the life of me. I throw words in to sentences that I think sound sophisticated.... but its not even a word in the dictionary..... (damb you shay for calling me out everytime). I have the best taste in music out of all the girls!!! ha!..... and I like bit-o-honeys! Def ready for the next crazy adventure in life with my my LG CREW! Back to Shay.... Yo! So Al and I did the hot air balloon ride. We had a rough start. Take off was a bit low. We skid on the top of some water. I seriously was planning an escape route. Everyone for themselves! Then we finially got up (sick mind) The main dude that had the "blow job"(perv) loved us. He offered us a job for next summer as balloonist.  I see big things in our future! I flirted with Spike a crew member the entire time! 5,000 ft oh ya!Chillin with my girls at coffee. New York in two days. Garage sale tom and Sat. Life is gooood.

What to do..

Alright lets just say we are both going crazy being back home. Same shit different day, nothing has changed. It has been good to see the fam and friends but I am so ready for Thai. 5 more days yaaaa! GNO was a lot of fun we a had a photoshoot at Ky's house(Shay's sista) then decided to walk to downtown which is like 15 miles away. I some how scored us a free taxi ride.. yeaa just goin to keep my gypsy ways a rollin'. On Wednesday we are going on a hot air ballon ride in Park City. My grandma bought me a 2 for 1 ticket for x-mas so I decided to take Shay. (Shay you better love me) Ha. We're trying to get a yard sale going on Saturday morning to make some skrilla before we bounce. Snowboards, furniture, and tons of cute clothes, friends you best come check it out. Shay here.....First off. ...Stoked on the balloon ride. Owe ya forev. So fellas. I am going to have a serious moment. No one strives to be robbin instead of Batman.No one wants to be 2nd place (saw this on a cell phone commercial and it touched my heart ha). We all wanna be somebody. So...get off ur lazy ass's n' live life. Just do it (nike). Isnt the world going to end 2012 anyway?? Heres another quote of the day..."I think its a mess, u think its amazing. U think ur a mess, I think ur amazing". Something like that (almost certain thats not even close). Dont be scared to live' Peace out!

What is Home?

6 weeks of traveling. 6 days back in Utah. 6 traffic tickets. 666. hmmmm. Its been awhile. I found that when we are in Truckee (our favorite place). We are so occupied its hard to find time to write. So yes we did pass back through that way. We have  to catch our flight on Oct 1st from SLC and make some loot in the meantime.  In Truckee....Bratty Josh and lil Joey were nice enough to let us crash at there pad once more. We met a lot more peeps and hit up a couple premieres. Who did I fall in love with now? Jon Jackson. Holly good god. He had a small clip in the Art Of Flight premiere ...its whatevs. Its his sick dreads and style that got me. BEA beautiful.  Yo Al talking now.. round #2 in Truckee was so damn much fun! I some how managed to get hooked up with a brand new 2010 K2 Nikita snowboard. Thanks to Will. So stoked! We obviously had to go into Coffee Bar (our favorite coffee shop) to see the Teepee fellas, love those boys! We met Casey Case's girlfriend Christina, what a doll.  She is a hairstylist.  I had a spontaneous moment and decided to chop my hair off. I freaking love it thank you Christina! Ok, lets just say Shay had one hell of a night! I almost killed her. I think those margaritas hit her a little too fast. She has no recollection of the night and might I add it was the best night ever! Way to end our last night there with a BANG! haha we just laugh about it now.  Oh and another time I wanted to kill her was when she locked the keys in the car at Donner lake. $60 bucks  later we got in. Put it on the tab! N' back to me , Shay. So hmmm really Al... I had no idea u wanted to kill me. Haha yes that night was a bit Gnar but now I have  some sick stories. Back in Utah. So much for keeping us being home on the DL down low. The entire gang got word. yo fella's!!! GNO. Girls night out. Feelin a bit funky at so called "home". Slightly foreign but good to see the peeps u love. New York here we come....... Props to follower 28. Love u always Higgins. Az pride

Crime Scene

Mt. Shasta..How the hell did we end up here? We park our home outside of a g-store. While getting ready for bed Shay manages to drop her pillow in her toothpaste spit. Keep in mind she is wearing spongebob pj pants. Way to go Shay! After about 10 minutes of  moving around trying to find the right position in the car I find my perfect spot. I shut my eyes and all of the sudden I here "wake up you are going to jail." I pop up out of my bed ( jeep seat) thinking that I was going to jail. I look straight in front of me and there are cops and kids wheeling a big trash can. I turn to Shay, "wtf is going on here?" I feel like shit is about to go down!" After a couple cars peeling out and what looked like an arrest, we cannot sleep. This is better than T.V. 2:30 a.m. we finally fall asleep. I only woke up about 4 times last night. Once to another effing train, a bum looking for cans in the garbage, freezing my ass off, and of course Shay peeing. Did I mention she pees more than anyone I have ever met. I feel bad for her for when she's a little old lady and has to wear depends haha. I must say I miss my bed in Lincoln City and morning runs on the beach. Where to next we just dont know, "I've got to got to gotta take it slow" (Chili peppers) Thailand 2 weeks from today whoop whoop! Oh and a big shout out to Rocky our 26th follower..hells yea!

Gypsy's back in HoOd

The first time we rolled through Hood Al and I left a note on these boys car we were jogging by. Dear boys (hot girl voice) We are visiting town and looking to have some fun tonight. U should hit us up. Something like that. Rocky, noticed the note on his car after we had left town ;( but we made arrangements to chill when we came back through. Rocky, Sage, and Tity Bar, took us to this beautiful waterfall 40 min outside Govy. In our mess of a car I managed to locate my swim top(no bottoms) .Al barrowed some bottoms (no top) .The waterfall was phenominal. I wanted to go to this tame pool on the other side. I asked Rocky "how do we get there? The water looks rough". He said he had never passed this way but attempted to do so anyway. hahah.....river took him under!!! occasionally I saw feet and hands pop up. I didnt kno if I jump to save him or yell for help. He got about a foot from hitting rock (not funny) and obtained the nickname "Rocky"aka John. He made it out safe folks :) We all jumped off the cliff , floated down to the beach, burnt sage and tlked some shit. Ltr we hit up the local bar. Played fuseball and meet some locals. Whata day!  Props to Bostyn or 24th follower!...This blog is about to BLOW ha. To Rocky: Ps.....cords rule.....

The Proposal

10:00 a.m. We wake up in our car surounded by beautiful mountains. Sleeping in this late is a new record for us.  We get our morning coffee and hit the road. Vancouver round #2. We drive into the big city trying to find our friends house. Let me tell you Shay and I have a real rough time with directions especially when we are in a city where traffic is crazy and when you need to take a right their are only one way streets. Sweaty palms, horns honking, and pedestrians everywhere. Talk about an anxiety attack waiting to happen. After about 45 min of city driving we make it to there casa. Shower, dance party, pizza, and then the club. Ok so we've known our buddies Mo and Zee for only about 3 hours total and I am already getting proposed to..WTF! "Alexa, I love your face, your body, your smile, your laugh, etc. so I think when I move to the states we get apartment and get married? What do you say?) Really buddy? I've only known you 3 hours.. pump the brakes! Next morning we go to our car to grab some stuff head back through a door to the apt bulding and we are locked in.You've got to be kidding me I feel like I am in jail right now. 10 min go by and finally someome lets us in. Mo'  begging me to stay for another day or perhaps the rest of my life. I had to go, I broke the cute lil guys heart. We are both so stoked to be going back to the USA, poor Shay didn't get a stamp on her passport. 30 min into the US what do you know we are once again getting pulled over. What is this like the 3 or 4 time now. Cop comes to the passenger side and asks me why I didn't have my seatbelt on well ya see officer I just forgot. $124 ticket..put it on the tab! Talk about a mood killer. Another good nights rest in the car and we are heading back to Mt. Hood. Peace..

Check ya ltr Whistler'

We have been on the road for one month today!!! What a celebration tonight will be. So.....I shit u not, we saw mommy bear and baby bear. They were just kickin it in Whistler Village. I tried to get as close as I could (real smart). I named the baby Gummy. That was tight! Last  nights outing lead us to a skate competition inside a chill bar. Tall tee's, skinny jeans, skate shoes, boys boys boys! The announcer said its give a beer to a random hot chick time! You bet ya.....he walked right over and handed al and I  a beer (toot my own horn ha).  After the comp they started a break dancing circle. Al and I were like "were going in". I told her I was right behind her.......then backed out! She killed it! For some reson I had it in my head I had the best rythum last night. Almost certian I did not. Two locals were our dancing pals. I fell in love once again ;) We walked home (our car) and crashed out. Check ya ltr Whistler.

Whistler-Girls who ride

$7 gross beer, $5 watery coffee, $16 meal......put it on the tab. WTF is up with prices. Whistler, capital of "goodness he is h o t"! We hit up a local hangout last night. On a Wednesday. Place was packed! Al was lil miss independant. Everytime I turned around she was running away talking to someone new. Nick our lovely local, kept hitting on both of us. So....we just messed with him. He kept saying "Babes....ill take under my wings". Nah bro...were cool. Buffalo something something dance joint was poppin. Al and I were just a dancin! We got up on the stage pop, locked, and dropped it. We rolled in at our friends really nice pad 3am. Al woke at 7.....me 1130.  Back to our car. Surprise.....another ticket! Our friend was yelling "just dont pay it" from his car window. We were also lucky enough to have "cocks" written on the jeep. It was nicely placed under my girls who ride decal. How original u dumb shit!  Hit up the sickest lake. Tanned, slept, and back at coffee. Just another day in paradise.

Vancouver

Welcome to Hastings St. home of the homeless, crack heads, hookers, dealers, (no i do not want to buy any pills) mase much needed..ahh get me the eff outta here! The online adds on the motel were deceiving, definitely not a good first impression of Vancouver. Once we got out of the east side we felt much safer. We cruised to Granville St, which is basically just a street full of bars. We went into a backpackers hostel and listened to some live music. Shay was in love with the guy who was playing she said "I really am in love" about 13 times. Later that night we ended up at a dance club that played the oldest, and worst music ever. That didn't matter though we fist pumped the night away.

BC

While attempting to cross over the border into Canada we got escourted to lot #2 by the cops. They searched our car and questioned us. I mean really do we look that suspicious you'd think because we have a Utah license plate we'd be golden. After 2 hours of waiting in traffic and another hour of being questioned and searched, We made it in..hell yea! Shay is just so upset that she did not get a stamp on her passport. Really it's all she talks about; super annoying, wish her luck. She may get one on the way out. So first night in Canada and I am driving, dude starts honking and flips me off for no reason. I guess it's because I am from the USA. Hmm..Welcome Vancouver! 100 kph on the freeway.  I think that converts to 100 mph right? We'll get there in no time. HA! Let me just say everything is sooo expensive here $75 to fill up the tank, $5 for a stack of pancakes at Denny's..I can get that shit for $2 in the US.  Looks like were going annorexic from here on out ;)  The best part about this place so far is that you only have to be 19 to drink effff ya! Off to find a place to shower..

Seattle-Bumbershoot

I am enjoying Butthole surfers at the Bumbershoot Fest when I look over and Al is having some big dude boost her up. She flies into the crowd lke a bat out of hell. She is surfing the crowd lke a mad man. Flippin n' turnin. I laughed my ass off. She road the crowd all the way to the front, finds her way back to me and says "I wanna go again". Our buddy from Mount Hood was n town for the music. He introduced us to all his friends and a large group of us kicked it all night. The best concert that we saw was....Wiz Khalifa.He rocked it. The arena was soooo crowded they stopped allowing people in. Al and I snuck past the security guard into row 2 (by a hot black dude). Best seats eva!! We acted casual like and danced the night away. When we walked back to our car we had a parking ticket. I am keeping a hold of ALL OF THEM! Off to Vancover....................

In da hood.....Mount Hood

While in mount hood we stopped at a chill lil bar they call the "rat". One of our friends from Utah just happened to roll in.....Sup! He introduced us to his shredding friends. A group of us went and chilled by a camp fire that night and laughed our ass's off. The next day we hit up a beautiful lake listened to music, bbq'd, and kicked it in the sun. These boys all live in there cars, rarely shower (ha), and just ride Mount Hood everyday :) true snowboard bums! We satyed in a family owned ghetto hotel that already had pee in the toilet and no tp. The next day we traveled into Seatle. Alexa's friend Bostyn from Utah met up with us and we raomed the streets of downtown, There were peepes singing "praise the lord". They claimed there singing made it rain. Later we relized there were people throwing water from the top of the building. We stayed in a crack head hotel that was 45 bones! dude next to our room kept us up all night. He was shouting "anyone want pizza or cocaine"?. Crazy dumb ass. We are currently chillin at the cutest coffee shop about to hit up the bumbershoot music fest. Excited!

Portland

Good morning neighbor! Alright so im pretty sure we picked the busiest street in Portland to sleep in our car last night. Is it necessary for the conductor to honk the horn the entire time passing through town? FML!  Portland is a pretty sick city their are coffee shops on every corner. It has a large river that runs through the center with a couple sweet bridges. Its considered hippy grundge so we feel right at home. Parking on the other hand is a joke fifty cents will only get you like 2 minutes, I swear! Mike and John took us out to a local brewery where we ordered every appetizer on the happy hour menu. The pretzels were bigger than our heads..literally. We decided on our adventure we have to do something out of the norm in every major city we stop at. Shay wanted to see what a strip club looks like so we hit up "Blush". Bow chika wow wow...she lasted about one minute and came out laughing. Last night we went on a run in a cute little town right outside of the city. At every stoplight we would bust out our hip hop moves. Shay got a little to into it and ran into a tree..no but really. Watch out Hip hop/joggin is about to BLOW! In closing I would like say that Shay is one scary ass driver her new nick name is (Swerving Sally) we get honked at at least 5 times a day. Wish me luck on our drive to Mt. Hood. Big shout out to Larry our 20th follower! Later
