Our annual camping season kicks off this weekend with 4 days and 3 nights in Wellfleet MA (Outer Cape Cod). 12 adults and about 15 kids in 6 pop-ups, biking, dune walking, going to the batting cages and sitting on the beach. I love it. Looking forward to the fireworks over Wellfleet harbor on the 4th - they are always great. Cheers - !

:beer:

So what are YOU doing this weekend?

Sounds like a great trip ChileMass! Our plans are pretty sedate compared to yours. We'll be going to my Mom's on Sunday for a picnic, which will be fun since its our first trip with our daughter to Grandma's house.

No actual plans- by default, if nothing else comes up, we'll watch our dog be scared of the fireworks noises (we're about 8 blocks from the Charles)

I'm hoping to continue our abbreviated hiking season with some treks to either the Wapack Trail or the Whites. :) Darn weather has pretty much spoiled the rest of this 'season' :angry:

Hike with the dog at least one day. Maybe make a trip to Monadnock some early morning, and enjoy the time off. I may get this Friday off too. :D We're paving I-190 next weekend, so the boss told me to take a day off during the week to offset the Saturday (and possibly Sunday) work. I love my boss.... :)

Enjoy the :beer: and stay safe.

Get used to it, Brian.....babies are great but your social life is gonna suffer for about, oh.......10 years.........just get a couple of beers in when you can and trade off weekend nights with severine (if possible) on who's gonna stay up all night or get up early.....

Thats alright, we didn't have much of a social life anyway... As long as I manage to get some skiing in next winter I'll be happy :) :beer: Luckily for me severine has been taking care of her at nights since I have to work and she won't be going back to work for about 8 more weeks..... after that it'll get interesting... ;)

Working most of the weekend. I'll be heading up Mt. Tom Sunday night and Monday night to catch the about 5 different fireworks displays. The ledges on the southern flank are a great place to scope out the fireworks. Plus no need to fight the traffic up there!

3-4 is what hear the most, I think it depends on the kid though...

Roadtrip! To Iowa. :)

State Highpointing trip with my partner-in-arms, Rizzo.

We're definitely hitting the highpoints of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio. From there, I'm not sure if we'll go north and pick up Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, or go south and grab Missouri and Alabama.

We'll see.

Here are the state highpoints that I have so far:
