Omak and Bellingham trip!

We recently took a break from Kelowna and headed down to Omak and Bellingham for a couple days. The original plan was to go to Seattle and spend some time in Chinatown, but we didn't have enough time to go down to Seattle after a long day of driving and shopping at the outlet in Bellingham. It was still a fun trip but I was looking forward to buying some Japanese cosmetics for a cheaper price than in Canada, so I didn't have to purchase them online. Ah oh well.

We went to Vancouver first to pick up a friend who went to go shopping with us for the day. We went to an outlet mall and shopped at the Nike store, Lululemon and other places. We also had some mexican food at Lorenzo's earlier. I had this express burito entree and it was good... can't believe I finished it all though, guess I was pretty hungry! After the outlet mall we went to Wal-Mart and did some more shopping... mainly for grocceries and small items. I bought a Revlon blending brush and some Physician's Formula eyeliners... I originally wanted a brown shade like my old one that ran out recently but my bf wanted me to get the Smoky Eyes version, so I did. It has black, grey and silver eyeliners.. I've used grey before and it looks pretty good so I guess I have a new colour palette for the fall? XD

After Wal-Mart we went around to try to find a hotel. It was getting dark and it was 9pm already so every hotel we went to didn't have any vacant rooms. We found an Ecnolodge and stayed there. The room had a mini fridge, a microwave and even a coffee maker! The sink was outside of the washroom which is kind of odd... but that's only because I'm a germaphobe and like to wash my hands before I touch the handle after going to the bathroom. I couldn't really sleep since the room was so dry with the air conditioner that would turn on and off according to the room temperature. I tried to listen to music to drift off to sleep, but my iPod ran out of battery so I went online for a bit. Free Wi-Fi ftw.

I woke up at 7ish in the morning and my mom and I got ready first and the whole family went down to the lobby for some continental breakfast. :D There was a pancake machine where you pushed a button and it makes one pancake come out conveyer belt style onto your plate. My sister got lucky and received a massive pancake the size of her plate... when the normal pancakes produced were smaller than a CD. I had some toast with hard boiled eggs, a muffin, coffee, and orange juice.

We headed to the Bellis Fair Mall and I really enjoyed the variety of clothing they had at Macy's, Rue 21 and Forever 21... I bought 4 tops and my bf bought me this cute Hello Kitty dress from Macy's :D I also got him a pair of jeans from Rue 21 and 3 of my tops were from Forever 21. I really wanted to shop more at Forever 21 but we had to get going to go back to Kelowna. There was also an arcade there but at the time we got to the arcade I didn't have any American coins/cash with me so we didn't play any games... they were sooo cheap! It was only 25c - $1.00 per game. I did get some American cash after buying some food to go at Mongolian Grill, since they took Canadian cash but we had to go right after we got our food. Oh well. I'll just spend my money over here in Canada.

Stopped at Tim Horton's an hour-ish later and got some pastries and ice capps :D Too much coffee for today...

And that concludes my 2nd road trip during this vacation! I would like to go to Seattle sometime or Vancouver, I think they would be fun and cool to explore :)
