The Events of Friday, July 2, 2010

                Today started with a trip to the refreshing showers, and Dad, Ben, and I going to play horseshoes. After we left our campsite, we drove to Historic Oakland in Oregon and stopped at an Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor that also served lunch, called Tolly’s.

Tolly’s claims to have the best hamburgers and whoopee pies. We saw this on a billboard and pondered over what “whoopee pies” were, finally deciding on delicious pies that make you say, “WHOOPEE‼” After trying these delicious burgers, we proclaimed that they were indeed delicious, and that In-N-Out burgers were the only burgers in competition. For dessert, Jim got a German chocolate cake- with FIVE layers-, Pam got a chocolate milkshake made from scratch, Caitlin got a banana split, Ben got a chocolate whoopee pie, Lindsey got a caramel sundae, and I got an old fashioned ice cream soda – with caramel syrup. We sampled each other’s desserts, and decided that all were delicious, but everyone, including me, thought that their dessert was the best. (OLD FASHIONED ICE CREAM SODAS ARE THE BEST‼) We all say that you can’t pass through Historic Oakland, OR without going the Tolly’s. I highly recommend you to visit Tolly’s.

                After we left Oakland, we drove for a couple of hours before coming to our Grandma and Grandpa’s house in Corvallis, Oregon. We had a delicious dinner and enjoyed a walk around the neighborhood with their dog, Jeanie. Then the parents got slept in the house, while the kids got to sleep in the RV. Each of us were able to sleep in our own bed and Mom set up a rotation so by the end of our time here in Corvallis we will each have a chance to try out all the different beds in the RV.
