sorry its been so long...

we've been being boring people!

Keith had to work Memorial Day weekend so we didn't make any plans. He got Monday off unexpectedly though, so we went kayaking.

The Dan River Company offers a shuttle to take you (and your kayak) upriver 6 or 13 miles and then you just go down back to your car. Its a pretty sweet deal -- no upriver kayaking (because you all KNOW I would whine about that!!)

Too bad for us about 1 1/2 miles into our 6 mile trip it started lightning and thundering... oops! Maybe the middle of the river wasn't the best place to be! So we kept on until we made it to a spot we could drag our boats out and wait out the rain. AND RAIN IT DID! Oh well, we were in our bathing suits anyway. I'm not a big fan of rain on my face but I dealt with it :)

Once the heavy rain stopped (LIKE TWENTY MINTES LATER!) we got back in the water and continued down stream. It never really stopped raining, but it was pretty fun anyway.

No photos though, camera can't take the rain!
