Rain Rain Go Away!

It has been raining basically since Sunday! What a drag! I hate the rain, and I hate it even more when it's a cold rain. It sucks! I checked the weather, it said it should clear up some time tomorrow. So I'm hoping it does! Mike and I are going to a party Adam is throwing Friday night, should be a good time. Last time, we ended up sleeping in a closet. So I'm curious to see where we end up this time. : ]

Camping! Let me tell you how it went! Well, we were on the road by 3:30mpm. We didn't arrive at the campsite til roughly 10:30pm. Basically because traffic sucked hard on 93 and 95. And we had trouble finding food too, took us about an hour. So, we set up tents in the dark, and realized we couldn't really find much firewood. So we made do with what we could find, and then kicked back to relax finally. Nick and David ended up killing a bottle of Jager between the two of them... things got a bit loud, a neighbor came over and asked us to quiet down, then ended up talking with Nick about camping and the Patriots for 20 minutes. The guy wound up talking louder than everyone else, so then he left. Like I suspected was going to happen, Dave puked up the Jager later. Actually , Mike made him otherwise he would have been a lot more sick. Then we all just crashed.

Woke up in the morning, figured out our plan for the day, and hit the road by late morning. Saw Nick's hometown, met his parents, grabbed some lunch and had a mini tour of things. Then we went to the grocery store for burgers and stuff for dinner that night before heading back to camp. Decided we needed firewood, so we went hiking over to where we could find some. As soon as we started hiking, it started to rain. How lovely. It continued to rain until the next morning. I stayed in the tent, and the boys TRIED to hang around outside. After about an hour or so, Mike came into the tent with me. We watched a movie on the Mac and took a nap for a few hours after dinner. Woke up again around 11, and not long after that Nick and Dave surrendered to the rain and went in their tent as well. They started playing alphabet games with animals, video games, movies, etc. Occasionally they would call out for our help. Being in the tent at that point was slightly miserable, because everything was getting slowly soaked. By the time we were ready to go to sleep, there was only a small section in the middle of the tent that was somewhat dry. So we curled into the fetal positions and tried to sleep. Needless to say, we didn't sleep much. We tossed and turned and were just all around uncomfortable being surrounded by wet things. We woke up before the alarm and just started packing up. We were on the road by 830ish.

It was a decent trip though, even with the rain.

I'll show you some pictures once I get around to getting them from Mike.


But now, I am going to go make some lunch, bundle up in warmer clothes, and take a nap. Gosh, I love naps.
