Final countdown

Jacob, Alex and I set out on Friday for a boys only camp out, we didn't go far, about 7 miles south of Bellingham is Larabee State Park but even so Alex fell asleep in the car on the way. That turned out to be a good thing as Jacob and I were able to setup the tent and tarp over the picnic table. Alex woke up about the time we were finishing and I started to inflate our air mattresses.

We had nice fireside chats, hot dogs on a stick, s'mores, scary stories, hikes and a visit from mom on Saturday too. Lots of fun!

It was nice to relax with the kids and not spend half the weekend exercising. Not much planned this week, just a couple real short quick runs, swims and bikes just to keep loose and also to ease some stomach nerves as it gets closer.

We depart early Wednesday morning and please do keep checking the blog as I plan to update most every day.
