The Best Laid Plans

Thursday, March 20th, was Shunbun-no-hi, a national holiday to recognize the Spring Equinox. It's a wonderful idea to celebrate the coming of spring - and to make it into a 4-day weekend and take advantage of the good weather, we took Friday off as well. Our intention was to go camping for a few days, relax in the mountains, do some hiking and read books.

Thursday, however, was dreary and pouring rain. This was ok, since we'd really intended to use the day to get ready for our first camping trip of the season. We did a camping inventory, did some shopping for stuff we needed, and got the car packed up and ready for a pre-dawn departure.

Until...The Stomach Flu. I'd suffering a brief, 15 hour bout of it last week, and was fairly well recovered by midday. However, this was now Brian's turn and he suffered about three-times more than I had! So Friday was spent recuperating for Brian, and just mostly chilling out for me (oh, and cooking and getting tons of laundry done!).

Today is Saturday, and it is simply gorgeous weather. Brian is well on the mend, so we're heading out shortly for at least one night in the woods.

Well one day is better than none - provide you like that sort of thing. :)
I hope Brian is feeling better.
