Just got back from an extraordinarily relaxing weekend up in Vermont at Deer Camp. We took off from Haverhill as soon as we could on Friday evening and met Matt and Monica outside of Montpelier. We packed up the sled and took the snowmobiles up to camp. The weekend reminds me of the Office Space quote: "Michael, I did absolutely nothing. And it was everything I thought it could be." Actually, we did some fun stuff like rip around on the snowmobiles, read educational magazines, played darts, stoked lots of fires and it was great.
Though we only won one out of three, Melissa brought it home with a brilliant bull's eye under pressure. If we were to play more than once every 14 months, we might actually be good!
I only tipped it a couple of times, but that's what helmets are for, right? Actually, it wasn't that bad, but Matt did take me up a trail that wasn't so great for a beginner :)
Jr. was there.
We even had our own personal barista! Camp food was great. Bacon and eggs in the morning, chili in the evening and lots of snacks in between.
We're back to city life now, but so far we can't stop talking about someday building our own camp. It's good to have goals :)
