Once again, I have a real adventure to recount for you readers! Unfortunately, though, neither Barrett nor I brought a camera camping this weekend, which would make for a rather dull retelling (despite my trademark pithiness) with no visual representation.
To alleviate your potential boredom, I've decided to present our weekend via another nontraditional blog structure, a list of highs and lows of my three day weekend.
HIGH: Left work at 5 p.m. Friday, after receiving positive feedback on my intern story, writing a pretty solid Monday business feature and finishing my assignment for one of our special sections.
LOW: Encountered disgusting cows cooling themselves in algae-covered pound on drive to camp. Was disgusted.
HIGH: Got to see campfire at Barrett's camp, which was fun, and then drank with other former counselors, also fun.
LOW: Went to bed late, slept on air mattress and had to deal with vague hangover. Not a great combination.
HIGH: BOATS!!!!!!
LOW: My boat was a tiny kayak, clearly intended for a 10-year-old boy.
HIGH: Kicked Barrett's ass in a boat race!
LOW: Barrett did not try very hard in the boat race.
HIGH: Delicious cookout food, including world's greatest mac n' cheese and a quality cheesecake for desert.
LOW: There was not nearly enough mac n' cheese available.
HIGH: Ate Salerno's for dinner. OM NOM PENNE ALLA VODKA.
LOW: Due to a late lunch, was not super hungry and only ate half of delicious pasta.
HIGH: Made exciting plans for post-dinner hike, with beer to celebrate afterwards.
LOW: Dropped three beers in kitchen, forcing us to delay hike until the next morning so we could clean up spilled beer.
HIGH: Prevented us from hiking through massive thunderstorm by dropping three beers and postponing hike.
LOW: Massive storm.
HIGH: Storm stopped enough for fire, drinking and s'mores.
LOW: Second night on air mattress. Many mosquito bites. Not great for the sleeping.
HIGH: No rain in the morning meant perfect weather for hiking.
LOW: Hiking is super hard and I expected my own death many times.
HIGH: View from the top was sooooo prettyyyyyyy.
LOW: Had to hike down.
HIGH: FINALLY SHOWERED.
LOW: Shower house was not ventilated so sweating started up immediately afterward.
HIGH: Had lunch with my beautiful little little Shaun!
LOW: Returned to Lynchburg and real life.
HIGH: Took Monday off!
LOW: Am now back at work.
I miss Salernos.
