Spring Break Diaries - Leavenworth and Wenatchee, Wash.

At 9:30 a.m. on Saturday morning, Annie Alexander, Bri Popson, Shannon Mead, and Alden Meade left UP and began a six hour trek to Bri's cabin in Wenatchee, Wash. Along the way, they stopped at Bri's house to meet her parents and have a lunch of mini bagel dogs (which became a staple during the week). When the group hit Stevens Pass, Annie, being from California, was really excited about seeing all of the snow. After several exhausting hours, they finally arrived at the cabin and began to settle in.

The whole point of the trip was relaxing. No one woke up until around 11 every morning. Throughout the week they watched movies (a lot of them with Harrison Ford) and TV (especially America's Next Top Model), made fun of each other, ate a lot of food, including the bagel dogs, and played board games.

On the third day, they finally got out of the house to go visit Leavenworth and Wenatchee. The day ended with going to see 300 and getting Chinese takeout. After that, it was back to doing nothing for two more days. On the return trip, they stopped at Stevens Pass so that Annie could play in the snow that had fallen that night. Sadly, after that, they had to say goodbye to spring break and return to Portland, but at least they were relaxed.
