Fake Banana

wow, what a weekend.

rachel adams graduates with her master in library science this week so we all had drinks last friday at linda's to celebrate.

saturday morning, we woke up early for camping with philip and maeve. we started out earlier in the week with a destination in mind (somewhere around the enchantments) but as the weekend got closer the weather seemed crappier. so we drove until the weather cleared...3 hours to a beautiful spot in a canyon called sun lakes state park. a 10 in maeve's pacific northwest camping book.



brian and i were in charge of alcohol. i made iced sweet tea/lemonade vodka drinks, bought some rose and rainier. everyone really like the tea drink. the extra vodka is an afterthought making this drink dangerously good. we spent most of our first day out in sun lakes, chatting and sitting in the sun. grilled some hot dogs and drank more. the next day we ventured out and found some pretty amazing, secluded lakes in between canyons. one lake called deep lake, a few kids were cliff diving from. awesome! watching that reminded me of my time at possum kingdom (west of dallas?) with an old roommates' family. i jumped off a 45+ ft cliff with a pool noodle! i wonder if i will ever do something like that again...



sunday ended with a slow drive back home, vanessa was in town and stayed with us a night. we had drinks at bimbo's and a night cap at cafe presse. a great end to the weekend.
