Before the weekend could really begin, I had to make a very rare pitstop back at work for an hour or so. It felt so weird being there on a Saturday, but I counted my blessings of not having a job that required me to report in every weekend.
 |
saturdays at the office?
rare. :p |
The short office visit was worth it; I got to run a couple of other errands while I was out, too, in preparation for our mini getaway out to East Fork.
I headed back to meet up with Rob; he'd spent the morning at
his shop cleaning up the interior of the boat, and together, we tied up all the loose ends and headed East.

| campsite - check! |
Our first priority - find a campsite. That was as easy as a quick tour through the grounds; we pitched our tent and turned right back around to hit the water. After all, that's the
real reason we're here this weekend (:
 |
| hello, 2014! |
 |
| it. begins. yiiieee! |
She did it! Her [the boat] 2014 debut went as smoothly as we planned. For that we have Rob to thank: I don't know that I'll ever get over how thankful I am for a hands-on guy who can spend a couple hours in the guts of a boat and get the thing running like a champ on his own. I love this guy.
Today was a bit chillier than what we would've ideally wanted, but it didn't sway us off the water until the early evening rolled around. We squeezed in a mini hike before settling into the campsite for the evening..

| into the sunset.. haha (: |
 |
| i love. this man. |
It was back to the campsite to start a fire and cook after that.
 |
marinated skewers?
.... yes. yes, please. |
 |
| nom nom nom nom.... |
The last item on the agenda for the evening:
NOTHING.
We sat by the campfire and watched the sun disappear, followed by the brighter shades of the sky fading into one smooth black canvas. The stars were bright and the campfire was sparkly.
 |
| beautiful ending to an awesome, awesome day. |
I count myself among the luckiest out there. Life gets so busy sometimes that we forget to pause and extract ourselves from the tornado of routine activity, even just for a day. We are fortunate to have that ability, and were reminded tonight to take advantage of it whenever possible.
Here's to another awesome day tomorrow ♥.
