Our first wedding anniversary fast approaches, so Jess and I booked a week of camping at Lums Pond in Bear, Delaware. It's only an hour and a half from us and an hour or so from Lancaster so we thought it would be a great way to have fun without needing to drive forever.
Then we visited the Weather Channel online for the 10-day forecast in Bear, Delaware. 
Tarps, tarps and more tarps...
It's a great thing to be unplugged for a while. Here are some snippets from my weekend:
- Friday for lunch I ate an octopus at a Korean restaurant. It popped like a packing peanut when I bit it and crumbled like rubber and the suckers stuck to the roof of my mouth.
- I stumbled across a rainbow while driving home.
- Friday night I spent with 7 kids at our local YMCA, teaching them With Jesus In The Boat You Can Smile In The Storm, helping them make picture frames for Father's Day and playing steal the bacon in a raquetball court.
- Friday night I drove 3 hours to upstate New York and went to sleep at 1:30am.
- Saturday morning I got up at 5:45am and saw the sunrise.
- Saturday afternoon I went to Northern Dutchess Christian School's high school graduation and got to see my American History class graduate.
- Saturday night we partied until the sun went down. Frisbees with LCD's are awesome. Firecrackers underwater are even greater. I found a boot.
- Sunday we spent an hour and a half in traffic between two exits on I-87. We did tai-bo to pass the time. Found out later that my new car can go 100 mph.
- My wife taught me how to tread water with my hands over my head. I quickly realized that I am a wuss in the pool and my wife pretty much rocks.
Well, I'm pretty proud that I broke the 80% for state tavels. I'm a little ashamed I never made it to Arkansas. And you know, for all my international longings, I have only been to Japan, and that was as a child. Shame on me.
