We had a glorious long weekend up in the White Mountains.
Did it rain? Of course! But luckily we can handle a little rain. We played a
lot of ping pong, and Foosball.
We sat around the fire and snacked like mad men. Our new ride (Hyundai Santa Fe) was
excellent for the trip. We actually have a bit more room than the Jeep Liberty
so Spotty Chop wasn’t crushed into a tiny warren. Since it was the first trip of the season we
of course forgot a few things (nothing that a quick “grab a new poppy at
Walmart” couldn’t fix) a tarp for the wood (did I mention it rained? ). This
one crawled up our ass a bit as we purchased….4-6 new tarps in the fall to
cover the two cords of wood we used. No walkie talkies, no glow sticks. Could
have been worse, once Boy Toys clothes never made it up.
We also went to Six Gun City (oh they renamed it since Mem Day - Fort Jefferson Fun Park). I will admit I was a bit disappointed
in how…old the place looked, but I know they have been struggling. You can buy
all day passes, or tickets (I think the go carts were 5 tickets). I figured out
that if Boy Toy and Spotty Chop did either the laser tag or go carts 4 times
the all day tickets would pay for themselves. I grabbed a few tickets so I
could do something with them. Boy Toy would have stayed on the go carts all day
(hell he would probably still be there
if I hadn’t dragged him away. Spotty Chop LOVED laser tag, in fact he met a
friend there and they ran around for the rest of the day.
So a good time was had by all.
Maybe it won’t take a month +
to write about camping 4th of July...who am I kidding? I will be lucky to have something up by Christmas.
