Fire--good!

Our wheeling weekend was great. Marc and I left town around noon on Friday and made it up to Cliffdell around 4:00. We enjoyed some cocktails while we waited for Jo and Andy, then grabbed some dinner. After dinner, there were more drinks and some hot tub action. It was cold out, which made the hot tub on the deck and the fireplace inside quite delightful.

Saturday we slept in, got breakfast, and then met up with the other seven trucks for some wheeling around Moon and Funny Rocks. There was lots of other offroad traffic that day--there was some rally or something going on. After a few hours, the four of us split off from the group since we had to go in a different direction to get back to our cabin. Again, we enjoyed the warm fire inside, and Marc made some of his beef stew for dinner. We introduced Jo and Andy to Settlers. I somewhat purposely helped Marc win so that we could get back in the hot tub. The noobs did really well for noobs, though. We were impressed!

Today we slept in (again) and got breakfast (again) before we left town. It was an awesome weekend--except for the crappy, rainy weather on the drive back home. On that note, it doesn't seem like it was too long ago that I was still sunbathing in the backyard. All of a sudden, though, it changed to winter in the NW. Marc got our fireplace going, so we're enjoying that now.

Hi Mindie, Lars and I love the Settlers game. We just found another couple in Seattle that plays too and that sealed the deal on our friendship!

That's awesome! We're Settlers freaks. I love how it's a different game every time you play--it's a good mix of strategy and luck.
