Still No Camping. . .

So this weekend we didn't go camping again this weekend. Chris felt badly about it, but I told him I was okay with it if we went garage saling on Saturday. Well, that's how the morning started out and then I suggested that if we were going to town, we could load up the bikes and go on some of the many trails within the city of Rochester. Chris went along with my idea, but I could tell he wasn't real enthused, but he wanted to keep me happy really badly. We hit a few garage sales and Chris even got out at a few (of course, he does find things when he gets out. . .) and then Chris got an accidental phone call (caller was trying to call a different Chris) who talked more about the bad economy. . . So, that almost ended our enjoyable day, but with a little yelling (well, not really) some near tears (mine, not Chris') we found a place to park and got started on our bike ride. The boys LOVED it and Chris thanked me for pushing him to do something fun instead of more project stuff at home. It's a lot easier to work on projects at home if we get a little play time too and that is what I was demanding yesterday with the bike ride. The boys loved it so much (and Chris too) that we got to go again today. The trails in Rochester are so extensive that we didn't even have to "re-do" any of the trail today. The highlight of our day was lunch today :~) We rode over to Brother's and sat down to have a burger only to find out (after ordering our drinks) that they closed at noon and only served breakfast! We cancelled our drink order and left. Then we decided to see if we could get into Newt's (voted best burger in Rochester like for 10 years or something like that) because Chris and I have tried to eat at Newt's before when we are hungry for a good burger, but it's not a very big place and we can never get in. Today was our lucky day and we were the 2nd table to sit down (Sunday at lunch is probably the only time we'll try to get in there again LOL) and we all agreed that the burgers were excellent. Their fries weren't bad either and they served popcorn too!! Talk about keeping us and Grandma & Grandma happy :~)

All in all it was a good two days, but next week we are definitely planning on doing some camping! Yeah!! We took the bikes and bike rack off the truck already and started to get the camper ready so it just might happen yet! Wish us luck and we'll talk to you later. . .
