Weekend Attempts
Jul. 29th, 2012 07:12 pmThat was a pretty good weekend, despite all sorts of plan changing.
D and I were supposed to go to his best friend's place to camp overnight before the 4 of us (best friend and his wife) floated down the Yukon River from his place back into Whitehorse, fishing, sight-seeing, and camping along the way.
Then D's friend and his wife waffled on and on, and then changed their mind Friday afternoon. Okay fine. D and I went out for dinner, and then to go see the Frantic Follies with his buddy instead. Which was so much fun, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time! If you're ever in Whitehorse for a visit, it's worth the cash to go see! A beer or three and a couple games of pool at the local dive bar rounded out the night perfectly.
So the plan was to just head out to D's BF's place early Saturday afternoon to hang out for the rest of the weekend, having a bbq and chill by the fire. D and I did our individual shopping and packing, and just as I was about to leave to meet up with D to head out, I got a text saying no hurry. Turns out, the BF's wife decided that she was having a boring weekend and wanted to go out to this lake about an hour from their place, and did we want to go along to camp overnight? Uh, no, because we weren't ready to go camping since they'd initially cancelled on us, and it would take a while to get everything together, not to mention a 2 hour drive to get to the lake. Talk about not relaxing or fun at all. So we bailed on them. If you can call it that.
But that's okay, because D and I hung out and made Very Tasty Milkshakes (butterscotch ripple ice cream, ice, milk, vanilla pudding mix, and a healthy cup of coconut rum - YUM), watched a bunch of movies, and then went for a drive and mini hike up a mountain today! :D All in all, a good weekend. Even if it wasn't driving down the Yukon River.
Although I won't be trusting any plans we make with D's BF and his wife anymore. Geez, how fickle can you be?
