I had a great weekend with Skip and the puppers up in the Algoma area! I got off work early on Friday (a nice surprise!), so we got on the road earlier than we had planned, which was nice. We stopped for dinner on our way up, and got to the house around 7ish. We just kind of vegged for a few hours then went to bed. Saturday morning we got up had a leisurely morning-- I went for a walk down in the town with Scotch, then came back to the house and made lunch. We ended up just getting in the car and driving, which turned out to be great! We hit up an apple orchard and got some goodies, then drove up the "coast" for a little while. We found a great county park where Scotch could get out in the water, then drove up towards Sturgeon Bay for a little while. When we got back into Algoma, we realized the place we wanted to go for dinner Sunday night is closed on Sundays, so we ended up just going there that night. We had a great, cheap dinner, then came back to the house and had a fire. The moon was full and the stars over the lake were awesome!
Sunday we slept in again, then got ready and drove up to Sturgeon Bay again to meet Skip's parents for lunch (they were sailing through SB). We met them, but circumstances didn't quite work out for us to have lunch with them, so they set sail down to Algoma while we went up to Whitefish Dunes State Park. We got to the park, and walked the 3/4 miles to the dog beach. There were so many (friendly) people and dogs there, and the water was great! A little cool, but warm enough to swim in, and Scotch was having a blast! The weather was perfect, and we stayed at the park for about 2 hours. We had such a great time. We packed up and headed out with a very sleepy pup in the back seat, then got back down to Algoma and had dinner with the 'rents. Great pizza. We got back to the house, made another small fire, then crashed again.
Monday we went out for breakfast, then cleaned up the house, hung around for a bit, then came home. We hit some expected traffic in the Milwaukee area, but other than that, it was an easy drive. The whole weekend was just wonderful, and we couldn't have asked for better weather!
Dream: I had a dream that the whole Preston family went to Eddie Martinis (the restaurant I used to work at) for dinner to celebrate my uncle's birthday. Eddie's is a fancy place, just FYI. Well, I was dreading going there because I didn't want to run into anyone that I used to know from working there. We got there, and nothing went smoothly. I don't remember actually eating dinner, but I do remember I was wearing sweatpants and a shirt that I always used to wear when I worked there. One of the waiters dropped my mom's veggies, and picked them up with his hand and set them on her plate. I remember thinking that was SO bad, especially for this particular restaurant. We ordered dessert, and my dad was arguing with me because he said I wanted the "chocolate avalanche" cake all to myself, that's why I ordered it. Then Emily and Allison showed up with a video of Uncle Mike that lasted for like 30 seconds, and we all got ready to leave. Well, the bill was split between my mom and her brothers and sisters, and they each had to pay like $300 (which probably would have been about right for that many people at that restaurant). Certain people were making a stink about it, others were just sucking it up. We ended up busting out of the restaurant, and I was practically running to my car so I wouldn't have to drive anyone home. That was the dream!
