July 2025 road trip adventure part one

Hello, my bucket list friends! I’m excited to say that it is time to blog about an amazing road trip that I went on in July. For this road trip my mom and I explored some beautiful places in Northern California. I’m very excited to tell you about this grad summer adventure.

July 2025 road trip part one

July 13th – This is the day that our road trip began. We made two stops on the way. During one of our stops I saw a bird in it’s nest I was happy that I got a picture of it. During the other stop I got to see some cool caves. When we arrived to our hotel that night I loved the dolphin statue that was out front. It was a long day or driving but I was very excited to get this vacation started!

July 14th – On this day we got to go on the skunk train! It was so much fun. Before getting on the train I bought some fun  souvenirs. I love the skunk logo. The train was was enjoyable and it made a stop before going back to the station. During the stop my mom and I went on a short hike. The hike was an adventure but it was also relaxing at the same time. After our beautiful hike we got back on the train. On the way back I bought a bucket of popcorn on the train. The bucket has a very cute picture of a skunk on it. I  have the bucket in my room and I love looking at the cute skunk. Riding the skunk train was a wonderful adventure but it was not the only adventure I went on that day. The 2nd adventure of the day was going to the point Cabrillo lighthouse. I can easily describe this lighthouse as being one of the cutest that I have ever seen. The this lighthouse looks like a small cute house that has a tower attached. The tower almost looks out of place but that adds to the charm of this place. I had a fun time exploring the inside and the outside of this lighthouse. I recommend going to visit this lighthouse if you get the chance to and I also highly recommend going on the skunk train. Even after the lighthouse we had some more adventures to go on. We went to visit the well-known glass beach. This was definitely a very interesting beach and it is worth visiting but please remember not to take the glass. We went on a really nice walk that evening. I loved getting to walk on a wooden path . I got some great pictures on this walk. Also I got to go to the Dollar Tree on this day I got some fun items including a bath bomb and a craft kit! It was a wonderful vacation day!

Thank you for reading about my vacation !

Summertime sleepover fun

Hello, my bucket list friends! I have learned that it does not matter how old you get having a sleepover with a good friend is a lot of fun! With that being said let’s get to it.

Summer sleepover !

July 10th – On this day my amazing friend picked me up from work. Our first adventure was a trip to 7-11. We each got a Slurpee and then it was on to Taco Bell before going back to the house. It was a beautiful summer night and we got to go swimming! I love going swimming in the day but there is just something so special about going swimming during the nighttime. It was so amazing to go on a nighttime swim with one of my favorite people. It was truly a wonderful summer night. The next day I had work but before that my friend and I went shopping at Hobby Lobby. This was my first time going to Hobby Lobby and I loved it. There were so many good deals . I was so happy that there were a lot of 4th of July items still available and they were on sale. I got a good amount of 4th of July items at at really great price. I also got a Lisa Frank art kit , a package of shaped straws and more. My friend and I both had a great time there we also got coffee together before I had to go to work. I wish the sleepover would have been longer but other than that it was pretty much prefect.

Thanks for reading! Love, Christina Epperly

Midnight monster truck painting

Hello, my bucket list, friends! In my previous post, I forgot to mention an art project that I did on July 7th. I probably missed the pictures when I was looking back because I decided to do this art project shortly after midnight. With all that being said, I’m excited to tell you more about this art project, so let’s get to it!

Monster truck art kit – I love art kits. I got this one from Target. Target is a great place to get inexpensive art kits. This one was a simple painting art kit. That came with a wooden monster truck, two paint brushes, and a few small containers of paint. I chose to paint my monster truck orange and blue because those are the Mets colors. However, I also used green. I added dots to my monster truck. I really enjoyed doing this project.

Love, Christina Epperly

Going to a local zoo, celebrating July 4th, shopping at Target and other July fun.

Hello, my bucket list friends, I’m excited to continue telling you about my summer adventures. I had some fun adventures in early July that I’m excited to share with you, including going to the same local zoo that I went to as a kid. With all that being said, let’s get to it!

July 1st – The first day of this month was a normal work day. I got coffee, and I went to work. However, I did get some Claire’s items at work, including lip gloss and a pair of cupcake earrings. I miss having that Claire’s display at my work. It was so fun seeing the new items that would come out every season.

July 2nd – This way the day that I went to my local zoo. I’ve been going here since I was a kid, but It had been a while since my last visit. It was not an inexpensive trip, so I probably will not go back anytime soon. However, I did have a good time. I loved seeing the capybaras the most. They were so much fun to watch. I also enjoyed the barnyard area. While I was at the zoo, I got to do one of my favorite things. I got to go on a carousel. There was also a gift shop and I got a magnet there. It was a fun day at the zoo. After the zoo we go lunch and after that I got to see my cousin. It was a wonderful summer day.

July 3rd. – On this day I got iced coffee and I went to work but I did wear my Mets shirt. I love being a Mets fan!

July 4th – the 4th of July is one of my my favorite holidays. On this 4th of July, my parents and I went out to eat, and then we went to a minor league baseball game that had fireworks after. The fireworks show there is always amazing every time I’ve seen it year’s was no different. I also got a big soft pretzel. I had a great time celebrating the fourth this year.

July 5th. I did not really do anything on this day, but I did wear my Mets shirt again! Let’s go, Mets!

July6th- On this day, I went to Trader Joe’s. I got a coloring page and some 4th of July stickers! I love the stickers that trader Joes has they are just so cute !

July 7th – On this day, I went to Target after I got coffee. I got some really cool Barbie pens and a folder. I also got a Barbie Doll ,craft kits and Joy ride candy. It was a good Target shopping trip.

Thank you for reading about some of my July fun.
