Sunshine
Well it finally did end. We had a glorious weekend of early summer weather. Jeannette was supposed to come visit and Cynthia had a full weekend of fun planned for themselves, so Liam and I decided to have fun on our own and go backpacking. Unfortunatly, her daughter, Lia, got sick so Jeannette wasn't able to come, but the guys went camping anyway.
Our first choice was full of boy scouts, so we found a hike in campsite in Castle Rock State Park that is available on a first come basis - of the 25 sites, only 4 were taken, so this looks like a great option for impromptu trips.
Liam carried his own backpack with his sleeping bag and clothes. It was a 3 mile hike each way to the campsite, with some "scary" scrambling over boulders. But we both managed to do the hike without too much complaining.
Then Sunday evening, back at home, we fired up the bbq for the first time since last June (didn't bring it to the apartment) and enjoyed dinner and the dimming light out on the patio.
That's more like it.
