Memorial Day Fun
Posted by Brian under: Fun and Games; Road Trip .
Had a packed Memorial Day weekend. Managed to do the following:
• Water Ski – courtesy of Derek and Stacy’s boat
• Kayak – again with Derek and Stacy’s stuff, and with a whistle so I didn’t get arrested by the water police.
• Go out in Charlotte and work on my dance moves…. or lack of.
• See the new Indiana Jones Movie. – It was good and bad at the same time. Nothing will ever be able to match the original ones.
• Do my part to eat and drink 1/100th of the food and beer that Derek bought for the weekend.
• Get a nasty burn mark on my arm from a Roman Candle. If that’s the kind of fireworks they have for Memorial Day, then I really want to be there on the Fourth of July.
• Throw water balloons
• Practice Bocce Ball and Badminton (who knew that’s how it was spelled)
• Assemble a Cracker Barrel rocking chair despite the company’s best efforts to make it un-assembleable
• Work with Dad in the garden and get a majority of the weeds out
• Stake up the tomatoes and peppers in the garden
• Admire the zucchini, squash, pepper, and tomatoes that have started growing on the plants.
• Enjoy and take advantage of an extra day off of work.
