Memorial Day Weekend

Hooray for Summertime!!


We had big plans for the weekend. We loaded up the new vehicle, hit the grocery store, and headed back to McCroskey State Park to spend the weekend camping with a group of friends. Apparently lots of other people had the same idea. By the time we made it to the park, the place was packed! Campers, tents, kids, dogs, 4 wheelers, dirt bikes galore. And here we thought the place was a secret. After driving the length of the park, we hung our heads and returned home to camp out in our bedroom. We managed to find plenty to do in Pullman though. Saturday, we watched WSU's baseball team beat big-time rival University of Washington Huskies. We grilled out each evening in our backyards. And on Monday, we drove to Laird Park in the Clearwater National Forest in Idaho.

Today it was back to work for Greg. This afternoon, to celebrate my 27th birthday, we walked to Ferdinand's, the WSU Creamery, for some homemade ice cream. Greg sampled a Cookies 'n Creme milkshake, and I had a scoop of Chocolate Peanut Butter Chunk and a scoop of Cappuccino Chip. This is DEFINITELY a place to put on your itinerary if you come to Pullman! To work off all that ice cream we hit the raquetball court with Travis & Shannon, who gifted me with some fancy raquetball goggles! Way better than the scuffed up ones they give you at the gym!

Thursday morning, we're WV bound for about two weeks!
