Birthday Adventures

For Doug's birthday, I came up with the most brilliant weekend!  Since I wouldn't be up for any hard core shenanigans, I needed to get creative.  For starters, I organized a camping trip at Shenandoah National Park.  Armed with all our camping gear, plus pretty much every pillow we own, we set off!  Apparently camping with two feet of pillows covering the tent floor is photo worthy.

The adventurous part would take place later.  The plan was for Doug to bring his road bike and then I would shuttle him and his bike up the mountain and he could bomb down, trying to break his goal of 50 mph.  Unfortunately mother nature was not on our side.  Not only were the mountain roads wet from constant rain over the weekend, but the morning Doug was supposed to go biking, visibility was about 10 feet due to fog. Since both of us want Doug alive for his next birthday, he decided to take a rain check (pun intended).  At least he still had his birthday apple pie!  It only took six matches for me to get all the way through the Happy Birthday song (thanks wind)!
