So I went on a mini vacation from the monotony of working rediculous hours and having rehearsals every other night. It was much needed and even more appreciated. We (Katie, Lis, Johnna, and I) arrived at Pawtuckaway around 7ish on tuesday. We ran into a little trouble signing in with the crazy clerk who didn't seem like she knew what she was doing, but once we got squared away we set up camp and crashed somewhat early after a short lived fire attempt where we all realised we were too pooped anyway. The night was relatively nice... a little rocky (might I add I cannot wait to fall asleep in my own bed) but I slept relatively well and comfortably.
Wednesday was spent exploring the grounds. After some breakfast and coffee we decided we would visit the store and get some more ice for the cooler and some more firewood for the night ahead. We also found a site to rent canoes... so we did. We went canoing for an hour and it was fun. I haven't been in a while. We rowed around and eventually just linked the 2 canoes and floated talking for some time with sporadic paddeling away from rocks, shores and such. After we were done with that we decided we all needed some lunch and a swim. So we packed up a picnic to take and we headed off on a short walk for a secluded little place on the water. We ate some good turkey sandwiches and then went off swimming at the lake. We swam around and splashed and then decided we should go back to camp. Once there we napped, played a little taboo and then we all seperated on adventures... save katie and I who stayed together and walked back to the picnic around and sat on top of rocks, and searched for the sunset. After regrouping we all went back to the beach and into the lake for a little frisbee before heading back to camp yet again for a fire. Some kielbasa was had, some smores were made and a good time was had. We finished taboo and then went back to sleep.
Today we packed up and headed home around noon. I got back here, and I took a much needed shower before getting everything else unpacked. Then I went to Ipswich to pick up Katie and head to get checks at the beach. We played a little water frisbee and tanned a little before cashing checks, getting some yummy ice cream at zumis, made sandwiches at her house and then went to my house for a movie. We rented "Love Liza" or as I may have mentioned it to you before "the movie that makes you want to die" It really is amazingly good, but so very depressing. Less so the second time around, but its hard not to crack a tear watching it. It's one of those where it just keeps getting sadder and sadder and you just can't help it. But it was a good day, and It was good to just relax.
So now its back to the real world, work tomorrow to sunday, not too bad. But I really enjoyed my vacation. Hanging out with everyone was wonderful, especially with Katie though. I feel about 10 times closer to her now after the last few days of just being off and away and able to go walking and exploring and doing something new. Even just cuddling and watching the movie tonight was perfect cause she was there. So it was a good vacation... I hope I can take another again soon, cause i need more. So thanks all, and Katie... I love you so very extraordinarily much.
