Island GetAway

After meticulous planning, careful packing and correctly aligned stars, Brian and I were able to get away sans les enfants for 28 hours. We attended a small gathering of 4 couples, ourselves included. The common factor would be that the guys all work together.

There was food, friends and fun:

This, I'm not so sure what this was....

Brian and I were able to go off and do some fishing in the paddle boat before the rain and wind started. This pic I snapped because I knew the kids wouldn't care about the scenery. They're all about the mechanics:

I snapped a few interesting pics around the island as Brian and I searched out different place to fish. I didn't bring the camera with the zoom/macro features so there aren't any pretty close-ups. And, after the Dock Spider Encounter (Brian may let me tell that story in a few years) I'm kind of glad I didn't. I wish I knew what to do with drift wood or Birch as there were many interesting pieces of them all over the island:






There was a little rain, a little sun and good company all around. Perhaps if the stars are lined up again next year, we'll attend again.
