So last weekend actually started for me a little more than a month ago when plans started to become a little more concrete. I say that it started then because I've basically been looking forward to it since that time. For those of you who don't know, two of my favorite things in the world to do are 1) to de-stress somewhere relaxing and 2) hang out with friends/family. Lucky me I got to do both this weekend, in Tahoe no less...a place I hold near and dear.
The house? AWESOME. Pool table. Air hockey. Darts. Fireplaces. Hot tub. Did I mention pool table...in the living room?! Many, many props to our intrepid travel agent for finding this place, not to mention for being the force that gathered us together for what turned out to be an absolute blast. And for simply being terrific in general =)
Pictures are to follow, as all of us brought cameras...Asian people trip, what can I say...but suffice it to say that they will not do the weekend's fun justice. The sheer quantity of pics taken serves only to help remember the good times had, hopefully by all.
The funny part about it is that we probably got less sleep individually over the entire weekend than we did last night when we got home. For me, I got about an hour's sleep Thursday-Friday, about 3 Friday-Saturday and about 4 Saturday-Sunday. Last night, I was sleeping by 1am and didn't wake up till about 9 after a very brief wake-up call delivery earlier.
The weekend consisted of four primary elements outside of the aforementioned hanging out and relaxing: 1) Pool, 2) Scrabble, 3) Catch Phrase, and 4) EATING. We did a lot of each and I discovered a few things as well...I like playing pool again...I LOVE Scrabble (geek!)...playing Catch Phrase with large groups is a riot (guys v. girls is especially funny)...and well, eating is self-explanatory. There was also shopping yesterday, and karaoke. Lots of karaoke. All I know is that I sound so much better in my car. And I need to find a way to get a pool table.
A nice, drama-free weekend. Just the way I like. Spending a lot of time with some of my favorite people...new and old friends alike. I feel especially fortunate to have been able to have been able to go, as I had an even better time than I had anticipated. Everyone should have a chance to be as lucky as I was this weekend.
