Saturday April 4: The end of the beginning

Well, an exciting day it has been. As our first day of official vacation draws to a close, Pete and I find ourselves patting ourselves on the back just a little harder. Day one exceeded every single one of our expectations, it was unbelievable. The trip down was spectacular weather wise. Despite leaving almost 2 hours late, we managed to arrive almost 4 hours ahead of schedule. So, after checking in with Celer, we went to the local grocery store, followed his easy instructions, and spent a fantastic afternoon having a picnic at a local park.

From there we met back up with Celer, met his wonderful girlfriend Mudslinger, and proceeded to paint the town red. This included me attempting to skip over some blinking lights, Pete demonstrating why Canadians don't play basketball, and all of us throwing large rock-like objects at an assortment of mockingly stationary white pins. The evening concluded with a relaxed time spent wondering why some scientist wanted to put a mans head on a variety of womens bodies. Before this post is flooded with reasons as to why this could actually be a fun idea... keep in mind the womans head was removed before hand.

It is shortly after 2am and the futon and couch that Celer and Mudslinger have graciously offered is looking awfully inviting. We would like to appologize to SSG for stealing Celer away from any raid you may have tried to run tonight. We were halfway through our first game at the bowling alley before we realized that he might be needed elsewhere. Naturally, Celer made a bolt for the door in order to fulfill his comitment to the guild, but Pete and I selfishly held him back, keeping him all to ourselves. Shame on us, but we regret nothing.
