There's something really appealing about going "up north". Where up north? It doesn't matter. So long as it has that "up north" feel to it. It probably takes away from that "feeling" to describe it, but perhaps its useful to write it out anyway (in hopes I can find these stimuli closer to home).
up north =
1. trees. lots of big tress.
2. water that tastes funny. (not bad funny... not sewage funny.... but from a well "funny").
3. friends. i've never been up north alone, and it actually sounds nice to do.... but the times i have gone with friends or family, it has been good.
4. peeing outside.
5. card games.
6. fishing-- and cooking what you catch.
7. boats/water/docks.
8. cabins- the smell of cabins. or tents.
9. beer. and wine.
Hmmm.... this list is not what I was envisioning when I thought about writing this post. It's pretty lame. My head/mind is elsewhere I guess. Maybe still up in the woods. If it comes back to me (in an articulate fashion), maybe i'll post it.
Anyhow, here are a few pictures from this weekend. Thanks to kevin (and cindy) for letting us come up to the cabin. Thanks to Ryan for driving, and hooking me and jen up with new jammies (go twins)! And lastly, thanks to Nancy, for letting us come to your house, trusting us with your ATV and vague directions, and letting us fish tar lake. It was an awesome weekend, one that will likely take a few days to fully recover from.

I love the blog. Basically I love reading what you write on it. You have an interesting way of describing what's on your mind. A way that's a good way. You're very welcome about the pants and driving. Glad you both went and had fun. Can't wait to do it again. Now we know what to prepare for next time ;). Take care!!
And all the while I thought you were saying you were going "over north"... NOW I see the difference!
LOL!
JK. Looks like a blast. When you said you were going fishing, I pictured you guys going to a lake 15 minutes away. Looks like a blast.
