The Beach House of Marysville

We got to the house we'd be renting for a week, and to put it mildly, we were impressed.

The laundry room was decorated with some extremely creepy pictures of clowns.

Evening Airport Trip

Later in the evening, Jon, Stephen, and Paul took another trip to the airport to pick up Camille, Reid, Steve, and Ken.

Trip's Stormtrooper Antics

We arrived home from the airport to find a Stormtrooper standing in our driveway, waiting to ask for our identification. After we satisfied him with the standard "These are not the droids you are looking for" response, he went inside to perform some "normal" activities.

Let the Wookie win.

He never did find those droids.

Late-Night Wal-Mart Run

At about two in the morning, we discovered that we were short a bed, so Reid, Steve, Jon, Trip, and Paul accepted an air mattress retrieval quest, and journeyed to the nearby Wal-Mart.

Jon demonstrates the proper use of labelled towels.

Steve, of course, had his video camera with him, and was filming his trip to Wal-Mart. Soon, a lady working at the store approached him and asked him if he was taking pictures, to which he truthfully answered "no." She then asked if he was taking video, which he was, and told him to stop. She watched him and Trip until one of her goons came up behind them, and he too asked Steve to stop filming.

Trip rests after performing a pagan oatmeal dance.

By the time we managed to get checked out, it was nearly three in the morning, but for Jon, our driver, it was effectively 6 AM due to jet lag. By the end of the trip, we managed to get into a random discussion about math, while Jon was singing to himself every landmark we drove past on the now-pitch black, winding, cliff-hugging, steep road. This ultimately led Reid to exclaim:

"Our lives are in peril and we're thinking about math!"

We ultimately concurred that such was the life of engineers, and we somehow managed to make it home in one piece.
