My friends, this blog is dead.

This is not the case.

St. George Roadtrip
by Calvin Olsen on Nov.22, 2009, under
Hi kids.
I just got back from one of the best roadtrips ever. Sarah Shepherd (one of my awesome London friends) lives down in St. George, so I decided that it would be cool to drive south a few hours and hang out in the heat. Cam and Jenny ended up not being able to make it, but CJ, Kalyn, and Mars (Margaret) came with me and we had a freakin' blast.
Breakdown:
- Picked up all three girls at various Provo locations.
- Lunch at Diego's.
- Hit the road.
- Stopped last-second in a place called Beaver for frosties.
- Got to Sarah's. Her house is beautiful, her family is wicked awesome.
- Ate free BBQ (chalk one of many awesome points up for the Shepherds)
- Laser Tag. We got owned collectively, but I spent most of my time aiming for eyes.
- Tour of historic St. George, tour guide Sarah.
- Frisbee and bonding time at a random park.
- More ice cream at Iceberg.
- Mini hike to see the "St. George Ocean." Freaking sweet.
- Sleepover on the trampoline.
- Sleep in.
- Breakfast. Crepes. Chef Calvin.
- Drive to Veyo, UT for a freshwater outdoor pool and some picnicking.
- Got settled and kinda took a nap at the Shepherds' cabin in Pine Valley.
- Fishing at Pine Valley Reservoir. (Free fish day in Utah).
- Calvin caught one rainbow trout with a spinner.
- CJ didn't believe it was dead. It was dead.
- Dinner at the Brandin' Iron Steakhouse. On Sarah's dad (more awesome points).
- Movie and S'mores at the cabin.
- Sleep.
- Church at the Pine Valley Chapel, oldest still-used chapel in the Church.
- Played Clue. Sarah won. I took second. Didn't wanna win anyways.
- Back to St. George for dinner with the Shepherds.
- Played "Scene it: Squabble." Boys vs girls. 2 boys defeat 5 girls.
- Hit the road.
- Gorgeous sunset and an awesome lightning storm on the way home.
- Dropped the girls off.
- Wanted to go back. Still wanting to go back.
It's a pretty basic outline, but it was so much fun. Great start to my summer and I didn't even mind the 100 degree weather. Huge thanks to the Shepherds.
I'm Back.

Whatup world?
Calvin's home.
After having loved blogging in London (calvinvsworld.blogspot.com), made it to the final four in a blog contest, and landed a gig as a paid alternating writer (more info later), I've decided to stick with the whole blogging thing. Well...try to stick with the whole blogging thing.
I'll keep you posted.
No pun intended.
