Labor Day 2005

This labor day was great. Well actually the combination of the events occurring on the surrounding days in conjunction with the actual day itself was great. Er, yeah. The long weekend rocked! I think Linz and I went to about four different parties! Here's a breakdown for my own memories and for anyone else who cares to read on.

We arrived late Friday night after fighting traffic to get back to good ol' Delaware. No parties tonight just tension about where to put our unappreciated dogs. Saturday was much better. We went to an old friends' dads' house to celebrate his 50th birthday. The quote of the party came from my Grandfather: "It's sad that you were only born in 1955, I have neckties older than that." That night we went to Irish Eyes, a Restaurant / Bar on the water in Lewes to hear a band called "The Funsters" play. Contrary to their name (and website), their music is good and they create a nice live atmosphere.

Sunday was another family gathering up-state. Lindsey's Aunt & Uncle have big parties whenever they can find a reason and it really is a lot of fun. I remember going to these events when we first started dating. It was very foreign to me then but now I feel right at home. We got to bring the dogs and they had a blast running around and meeting people. We're trying to let them get out and be more social, or as social as dogs can be anyway. The rest of the day was spent chill-axin' by the pool.

Monday. Yay! It's 9:00 and I'm getting up and refusing to even think about work. I always thought that they should have called it "Labor Not Day" because Labor Day just sounds like...well...a day full of labor, and no one wants celebrate that day in any country anywhere. Today we partook of more chill-axin' and for lunch dad took the two of us out to a coffee shop where I got to try a smoked salmon club sandwich. Very interesting, it was tasty but I think I'll try something different next time. Too much fish for one sitting. Around 5:00 we headed over to our last party of the weekend. They had their ATV's and Dirtbikes out and I was invited to go riding with my brother-in-law and father-in-law. This was my first time really riding a 4-wheeler on any kind of trail through the woods or at a speed that makes my eyes water. For lack of a better word, it was awesome. Whenever Lindsey and I move back down we will have ATV's. We just have to. You only live once right?

In conclusion, this Labor Day was the best ever. Of course, I don't really remember the other Labor Day's that I've lived through, but i did after all live through them, so that in and of itself is good...uh...yeah. **In Rocky the squirrel's voice (from Rocky and Bullwinkle)** "And now for something we hope you'll really like!."
Happy Labor Day!
