A Weekend of Tubing in the Miramachi
It was an awesome & relaxing weekend. I headed up too the Miramachi with Colleen, Doug, Lisa, Anthony, Mike D and his roommate Chris. We camped out on Colleen's parents lawn and enjoyed the awesome hospitality and weather.
Friday night was a bonfire - complete with smores and even a banana boat! Saturday wasa perfect day for a nice big breakfast and then an afternoon of tubing. I prefer my own tube but the rentals were sturdier (my own has a head rest and mesh bottom and cup holders and is just overall more comfy). The river was fast and there were a few good sections of rapids and a few pretty shallow spots as well. Still though - we had perfect weather for it!! A full day out in the sun made for a rather quiet eveing and a few of us decided to stay an extra evening. We stopped out at a pub for some crazy trivia challenge and then decided to have a quiet night in with a movie rental. We wound up renting "Raiders of the Lost Ark" as Lisa hadn't seen it before. I made it to the point that Indy shoots the guy doing the fancy knife stuff and then I headed out to the tent to crash. We came back to Saint John on Sunday and on the way back I read most of the book that I'd brought along, "Falling Angels" by Tracy Chevalier (and I finished it once I got home).
I didn't feel like doing a thing that evening, so when Ann called, I welcomed the opportunity to eat out (mmm... Swiss Chalet!) and then we decided to go see "Knocked Up" as we'd heard that it was really good and had a lot of heart. We both really enjoyed the movie and I'm glad we went.
