Last year, I did a By The Numbers recounting of the 3-day weekend. As I suspect this will be the last time we will join my in-laws on this particular trip, it seems fitting to bookend with another numeric reporting:
1 - The number of books I read.
2 - The number of fish caught and (eeeww) eaten.
3 - Number of days without Internet access. (The horror!)
4 - The number of miles we hiked with the kids on Saturday (earning The Professor his Hiking Badge! Yay!)
5 -Approximate number of times per hour The Minions asked some version of "Are we there yet?" on the drive to and fro.
6 - The number of people living for 3 nights in a tiny, tiny cabin. *Cue Minor Key*
9 - The number hours it took us to make the "5-hour" trip from home to the cabin. (Bonus: Number of people who threw up on the curvy mountain roads: 1; Bam-Bam, for the record.)
10 -Approximate number of times we lamented the fact that the car DVD player broke 3 days before the trip.
So, what'd YOU do this weekend?

The idea of an Internetless weekend is both horrifying and seductive to me. Hrm.
Proud of y'alls for doing it!
You would THINK that after having the second baby you would know better, but noooooo! Some lessons have to be learned the hard way.
How on EARTH do you let the car's DVD player be broken before any trip lasting more than 28 minutes?!?
C'mon now, you KNOW better. Silly Zenmom.
Here's what I read:
- inlaws
- no internet
- no DVDs
- vomit
Sounds WONDERFUL. I have NO IDEA why I'm so averse to "outdoorsy" trips.
Whatever I did, it was a lot less interesting than your weekend!
Pirate: When we got to the peak of our hike on Saturday, we both whipped out our iphones, "just in case" there might be a signal up there. #junkies
Mintz: inorite?!
SFD: That about sums it up. I was pretty sure you could relate to this one.
Hubman: I seriously doubt that. I know I have been The Suck at commenting, but I've been following your summer "adventures". ;)
