Gone camping

Well, the romantic beach getaway isn't going to happen.

I couldn't bear the thought of spending what is to be a splendid weekend at home. So we hitched up the cargo trailer, picked up Amanda after her soccer game last night, and headed for the great outdoors.

This is a picture of us setting up our tents. There's nothing like doing this task in the dark, particularly when setting up a brand new tent for the first time. Thank god for a full moon, because none of our lights were working. I think all the condensation at the Lesbian NASCAR Orgy Camping Weekend fried their inner workings. We have a propane lamp, but it had to be assembled, a task better done in good light. Oh well. We managed.

I slept like a baby last night.

Amanda had a mandatory soccer practice this morning, so we are back in East Jesus for a few hours. Court and I are hanging out at Barnes & Noble while we wait. I needed to download data for some consulting work I have to do, so it works out for everyone.

I'm so sorry the romantic get away did not prove fruitful. That really bites.

What a shame that you weren't able to do the romantic getaway. Hope that you're having fun camping, and you get to do the romantic trip another time.
