one that Michael and I have been to more than once.\u00a0 Most of our time was spent lounging, playing drinking games, and driving around tiny little mountain towns.\u00a0 Not in that order, though, so no need to get yourself in a tizzy!<\/li>\n<li>Not much knitting has actually been done.\u00a0 More on that later.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been spinning a fair bit, and have some pictures that need to be uploaded tonight of that handspun.\u00a0 I planned to take either mine or Laura&#8217;s wheel to the cabin but that didn&#8217;t happen.\u00a0 Storage space in our rental was an <strong>epic failure<\/strong> so there just wasn&#8217;t room.<\/p>\n<p>Short synopsis of the trip:<\/p>\n<p>Went to pick up the rental, realized how few seats it had, and convinced the clerk to give me a bigger rental.\u00a0 No problem, but we had to go to the airport to pick it up.\u00a0 Departure would be slightly delayed, but no biggie.\u00a0 We got the new car at the airport and it had more seating, but MUCH less storage.\u00a0 At that point we didn&#8217;t have much of a choice, so we just figured we&#8217;d fold a seat down and make it work.\u00a0 Once all of us met up at our house with all of the things we were taking, we realized that there was NO WAY it was all going to fit.\u00a0 Think 20 pounds of rice in a 3 pound bag.\u00a0 Just not going to work.\u00a0 We pared down what we were bringing and aside from the occasional board game slamming into Laura&#8217;s skull in the back seat, all was well.\u00a0 Before actually getting a real start on the drive, we had to stop at the Walgreens in West Memphis because &#8220;OMFG, it is a <strong>Walgreens<\/strong> with <strong>Alcohol<\/strong>!!!&#8221;.\u00a0 Mr. Awesome thinks this is really really cool for some reason.<\/p>\n<p>We drove, and drove, and drove, and finally got to the cabin around 5:45 Thursday night.\u00a0 The next couple of days are kind of fuzzy, because we didn&#8217;t really DO anything.\u00a0 We just drove to different hole in the wall places (which I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll see via a few embarrasing pictures Laura got of me), cooked dinner, hung out, played games, and talked.\u00a0 It was a great weekend and I only wish that it had lasted maybe one more day.\u00a0 But all too soon, we had to pack up and come home, with a small side trip to pick up a pair of bunnies I agreed to adopt froma family that is moving from Arkansas to Jerusalem.\u00a0 Now we are back, nowhere close to being upacked.<\/p>\n<p>And back to knitting &#8211;
