restaurant $10 b/c it just that good? There were 22 of us...if your
name rhymes with Bark it is time to pull out your checkbook ;-)

There was some intense hiking, rock-hopping & walking up steep hills on Saturday; a great group devotion on Sunday; Ripley's Aquarium visit on Monday; bruises from uncomfortable bed springs on Tuesday; and cold water & ice showers in the hot tub Saturday through Monday, none of which have pictures to prove it happened so you will just have to take my word for it.  We came away refreshed & so thankful that we have an amazing church family that makes these friendships possible.

  3. Hehe, that is true, Jamy. Actually, I'm pretty sure it's 20 BUCKS, not 10.

    So glad you posted about this - thought of you guys a lot last weekend and wondered how things were going! So glad you were able to do this! Looks like a blast (minus all the games...lol)!

  4. Looks like a lot of fun! What do people do who don't have Dads and Moms to help out with all the kiddos? Remember--what goes around comes around!!!! Enjoy while you can!

  6. Bark here. Yep, redeemable before you head south and it must be a solitary couple on a getaway. K's right. 20 Bucks (and that might not even cut it).

  7. The trip was a lot of fun, junk food in abundance, that we bought way too much of so it was even more of a necessity, to eat and eat and eat... and many games of Rook my new favorite game. Next time we'll have to hit up bark b4 we go. We'll just have to check to see if there are any rule changes to the deal b4 we go! I would recommend the sweet potato pancakes to anyone who goes, they taste kinda like pumpkin and were really good :>
