MEMORIAL DAY 2009

Hung 'Ole Glory in the morning.

Slept in our friends' borrowed travel trailer with the boys last night (not quite the same as tent camping. The boys loved playing Uno before bed, then converting the table and sofa into beds. We might actually try going to a campground next time we borrow the trailer. (with a little more pre-planning and perhaps a RESERVATION. :)

Got to the trail at 7AM. 64 degrees, foggy, no wind. Felt nice and cool. Very sluggish to start out. Probably due to the 2 days off - doing manual labor (and eating too much)

Took the boys for a bike ride to the lake, swam for a little while, then walked around a local botanical garden. It was about 90 degrees later in the afternoon. I'm going to sleep well tonight!
