Long over due post about our vaction
Thursday morning we went out for breakfast at Gus' Redhots. I had gotten quite a bit in my check(I guess my hard work did pay off). Then we went clothes shopping FINALLY(I've been needing new clothes for a while now). I discovered some excellent finds at Salvation Army!!! I love that place! :)
Anyhoot! We went and shopped for supplies and for food for the next couple weeks. My goddess, it's freakin' nice to see the cabinets and refridgerator full again (We haven't been really caring about food lately because getting caught up on bills were more important).
So then we went out to my Dad's to borrow his camping gear for Saturday. We ended up spending a couple hours out there just chatting it up and watching Emplyee of the month(which was a hunk of shit with a very few good parts to it, no wonder Jessica Simpson never gets movie rolls anymore).
We went home and played around a bit then went to bed early. Friday was great, I was in a good mood and ready to hit the road. Great Escape was awesome! The best parts were when we went on the spinning rides and both of us declared very loudly that there was no god and looked like we were going to cry/vomit. Ha ha! good times!!!!
We went through story town, which for those of you that have never gone to that great escape, it is a section dedicated to Alice and Wonderland, the wild west, and various other things to invoke the imagination. I fear that with the demand for bigger and faster things that this part may disappear in the years to come. So I took some great pictures and I and Justin sat by the waterfall eating funnel cake in front of the saloon.:)
The ride home was a little tretcherous because there was construction most the way and I thought my tires were going to fall off...ugh! Alas though we were home and cuddled on the couch for a while before bed, my favorite time of day...:)
Saturday was fantastic, we ran our errands and went up to see Ethan and Dad before we set off for our camping excursion....::le sigh:: that boy is getting so big...
Off we were towards skies of blue and rolling hills!!! Justin was speechless(which is a hard place to get him to, lol) and I was so happy to see him in awe of the raw majesty of nature.
We got to the campground but they were filled up but gave us directions to another one that was absolutely gorgeous and off set from the road. It rested on the shores of a gorgeous pond at the bottom of a rolling mountain. It was breathtaking!
We set up camp and got our firewood then headed up to the A&W shop outside of Lake Placid because the gorge was closed, grrr!!!!! But we were so cute it could make one vomit. We drank a float with two straws and fed each other fries, tee hee hee, I love that wonderful man of mine!
When we got back to the camp we...well..I rather... started the fire(he hasn't gone camping much in his life). We roasted hotdogs and made smores then sat back chatting and drinking a couple of beers. Once it got dark we walked down to the pond and I must say it was a perfect end to a perfect night, we danced under the milkyway and gazed at the moon....::sigh::
