Memorial Day Weekend In Summit 27May22-30May22

Kala & I headed to Summit to celebrate Memorial Day, visit with friends and do some hiking and sailing. Friday we hosted Kathleen & John at the Nest and enjoyed heavy apps, great tunes, and a gorgeous evening hot tub soak under the stars. Ignorantly I neglected to pictorially document; nonetheless it was a great visit.

Saturday I watched the two rain-delayed and lopsided semi-finals of the NCAA D1 men's lacrosse final 4. Steve & Donna and Kala & I all caught dinner out at 5th Avenue and then hit the Nest for some Lemoncello drinks from the Italy-crazed Browns, along with chocolates and a game of Joker/Jumpers (or whatever it should be called). By the end of the night we'd adjudicated every possible poorly understood rule in the game. They liked it; it was fun. Again no pics.

Sunday "allowed us" a hike in the White River NF with Steve & Donna. I say "allowed" as we did have rapidly changing conditions and timed our outing just right, though did suffer a smidge of rain and sleet. That night we dined at Browns' lodge and enjoyed their chix & fries with our salad & Edgar's '16 E2 vino. Again we played the game but Steve and I were thumped this time by the ladies.

Monday we awoke to 3" of new fallen snow on the forest and our deck ~ yeah, we aren't gonna sail or ride. NP, I was staying in for a bit at least to catch the finals of lax. The snow didn't stop or melt till late in the day. Maryland won decisively to finish 18-0 and be acknowledged as one of the best D1 lax teams to ever compete.

Tonight we celebrated our 42nd anniversary at Aurum with the Browns, whose 41st is next week! Good food as typical and great friends as always. ORB Tex did the driving.

Plus, in low light Summit Co, Kala & I were able to see a number of meteors from the Tau Herculids shower in the hot tub ~ it's caused as earth passes through that comet's debris field. Rare occurrence; very cool.
