Camping weekend was good. It was kind of a blur, but I'm sure that's in large part due to the madness of Friday, and also due to sleeping rather fitfully. Sleeping on the ground is, uh, less-than-comfortable when you're a side-sleeper, and tends to result in limbs falling asleep more frequently that most of us would like. But hey, STILL WORTH IT.

Friday: WORST DAY EVER. Ok, I'm exaggerating, but it didn't exactly go smoothly.

Woke up and internet was broken. Wasted lots of time tying to fix it and eventually figured out that it wasn't our router causing the problem, for once. QWest, you suck. A lot.
Ran out to buy a tent, a crapton of fruit, and and other misc. camping gear that I needed
Rushed out to lunch at Hopworks with my dad and mom, because they were in town for a couple days.
Hurried home to pack camping stuff, rushed out to Bipartisan Cafe to squeeze in some work time, since the stupid internet was still broken at home.
Ran off to photoshoot; it was okay, but my brain was all addled from rushing around constantly. Still, the lighting for the shoot was pretty, so all was well.
Rushed through awful traffic to drop off lighting gear, load up camping stuff, pick up friends, and drive 3 1/2 hours to Hood Canal! Stopped for dinner at a family restaurant called Spiffy's, which was only somewhat spiffy.

Saturday:

Woke up at 8am and ate breakfast in the mother-effing woods. <3
Went down to the beach, walked along it for a good ways while the tide was out, took lots of pictures and dug for clams
Spent lots of time around campfire, because it was kiiiinda cold. And drizzly.
Read books and played board games and toasted s'mores!

Sunday:

Group breakfast! Bacon and french toast, and coffee cake, and the amaaaazing strawberries I brought.
Hiked down to Guillemot Cove at low tide; finally got some sun breaks, splashed around in the water, and saw a metric ton of awesome sea critters! Yes, I took about a billion pictures of said critters.
Played more card games (Guillotine FTW!), finally finished my book for book club.
Group dinner of spaghetti with meatballs, salad, garlic bread, brownies and homemade sandwich cookies for dessert.
Stayed up until 4am getting tipsy on sweet tea vodka while playing Uno and scarfing down leftover brownies.

Monday:

Got up, ate breakfast under a beautiful blue sky with puffy white clouds.
Packed up camping gear, drove back to PDX
Got home, unloaded, and had the longest, hottest, most wonderful shower ever, and then rolled over to katlyn 's to talk and hug and watch a few episodes of Avatar with her and daemonwise .
Came home with pizza from Hot Lips, watched more Doctor Who and SLEPT IN MY BED. <3
