4th of July weekend
I had one of the best times this past weekend in a camping/tubing trip in New Braunfels. Most of us set up camp Thursday evening. As we were checking into the camp I overheard the warning to the people in front of us to not set up near the PVC pipes in the back of the camping areas because the site has septic tanks and that is where the sewage is released. Later in the evening a group set up further back in the camping grounds and apparently in the middle of four pipes coming out of the ground.
Around 1 am our group heard people yelling from the back of the site. "Turn off the sprinklers!" And from another side "That's sewage!" This went on for a little bit while I explained what I had heard about the so-called sprinklers spewing sewage.
Some time later we hear "I get the sewage joke. But really, turn off the sprinklers." Someone from another camp was nice enough to actually walk over to explain that what was spraying all over these people was not the sprinkler and really was sewage.
Aside from this hilarious moment, the trip was great. Camping was fun. Tubing was even better. I loved just chillaxing for hours in the water and under the sun! One of the guys go so messed up that he couldn't remember taking things in and out of his car and for the longest time believed that someone else had done that to mess with his mind.
I was so exhausted from the driving and good times that instead of driving to Austin to visit my family and then back to College Station, all I really wanted was to go back to College Station and sleep in my own bed, which turned out to be a mistake. Sadly, right after I unloaded my car in College Station my parents called to see if I was coming into town. Had they called earlier I would have come home, but there was some miscommunication when I had talked to them earlier. Not only did my mom made me feel guilty by telling me that my brother and cousin came into Austin as well, the guilt continued the next day when my mom and I had our weekly Sunday phone calls. I'll have to make it up to them some how.
Vacation is over and now back to work ... :)
