Why I’ve Been Gone For 3 Days
I went camping, as my last post about bathrooms would imply.
Jess and I took off Friday afternoon and booted it from Vancouver to Ellison Park (Vernon-ish) which took roughly 5 hours. I didn’t really even notice it taking that long because I was flying down the highway most of the part (yup I got to drive!).
We arrived around 6pm-ish and unloaded everything and set up in about an hour. I was rather impressed. We even got the rent set up in one try. While Jess prepared dinner (salmon!) I got to pump up the air mattress… which took a while because the foot pump was cheap and dinky.
So that night we endured a lot of stupid teens/young adult males cheering, screaming, doing whatever the fuck it is they do until 2am. And then an air bomb went off at 4am. I didn’t really sleep much of that night.
Saturday day! Woke up late. At food. Relaxed. Went to the beach with Monty and Jess. Came back, ate, relaxed.
That night… it was super windy. So I didn’t really sleep.. again.
Sunday day! Cranky day for me because of lack of sleep. Jess read a lot, and I was bored. So I took Monty for a walk to the beach for a bit. And then came back. We ate some food and then went back to the beach to watch the sun set. Jess brought his book and I brought my camera. I shall post pictures later.
That night, the neighbour baby cried all evening, and throughout the night. Seriously, who brings an infant camping?! Morons.
And the Monday morning I was up at 8:40, we ate quick, packed up and checked out.
Stopped in Merritt for milk shakes. (Jess’s tradition) and kept on heading back home with a truck full of stuff.
We got back to Vancouver around 4pm and unloaded a bunch of stuff… Except the cooler. Which worries me. There’s a cooler.. in my living room full of potentially rotten food. Ew. At least garbage day is the day after tomorrow.
Jess and I showered, took a nap and then ordered some sushi! Yum. 
And then watched the first episode of season four of the L Word! Weeeeee. Makes me happy. And then we passed out.
Jess gets his audi today too. Which he’s super excited about. It’s a pretty car.
See?
