In 2010 I ... road tripped, cabin style.

There's something about a road trip with friends you've never road tripped with before. The excitement of getting out of town builds, you cram into the car and hurry up to go do nothing. What's not to like? So that's exactly what Jennie, Eli, Alex, Morgan and I did to join a huge gang that progressively gathered throughout the past weekend in Alexandria for Jake's 30th birthday celebration. We did in fact do a whole lot of nothing. Observe:

Thanks for taking pics, Senor Kamin

While we weren't doing that, the group was swimming, warming up in the homemade sauna, playing badminton and kubb, drinking keg beer, playing card/dice games, and lounging by the bonfire.

In typical cabin style, the weather was mildly crappy on Saturday and stunningly beautiful for the drive home on Sunday. But that didn't stop us from having a fantastic nothing-filled weekend I'm already prepared to repeat anytime.
