Rivka Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 23 hours until we leave for vacation! I haven't put a single thing in a suitcase yet, and I'm working from 10-4 today. But I have an awesome packing list from previous years, which should make everything easy. (Okay, easier.) We go to a UU family camp in the Blue Ridge Mountains every summer. It's a solid week of love, fun, community, music, worship, cafeteria food, and home-brewed beer. (What, your church camp doesn't have a thriving brewers' community?) My 7yo has a whole set of friends there she's known one-week-a-year since she was a baby. I have a fantastic circle of girlfriends there. Let me tell you: as a member of an extreme minority religion, it feels amazing to be 1000 strong in one place for a week. Last year I was appointed to the Board of Directors, so I get to be part of all the fascinating behind-the-scenes stuff now. We even get to arrive one day early. Also new this year: my husband and I are going to be singing together in the "gospel glee club" every afternoon, he's leading a wine tasting workshop Friday night, and my 3yo is going to participate in the children's program joyfully and without drama. (Okay, I might have slipped that last one in there as an aspirational goal.) And Alex and I are going to hike to a waterfall where we can swim in the pool at its base. I. Am. EXCITED!!!

Cassy Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 For a second, I thought you were talking about the other kind of tick! [i keep saying that *sigh*] I wondered whether it was her biological clock :tongue_smilie:. Sounds heavenly, have a wonderful time :001_smile:!

MiniBlondes Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Some friends of ours went to this same camp about 2 weeks ago! I think we're going to get a group from our church together and go next year. :) Have tons of fun. Also, I'm leaving for a week at the beach in 23 hours. I haven't packed anything either! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azucena Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 That sounds like fun! Enjoy! But I expected that this was going to be a "waiting for Beast Academy 3C" thread .... :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 We are also leaving for vacation in about 23 hours and I haven't packed a thing, either. In fact, I still have 2 loads of laundry to do before I can pack. (We'll be gone 8 days, but we're headed to the beach. :D) I also want to get the house tidy. I can't stand coming home to a messy house... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't be this exact camp that your friends went to, though - this is SUUSI, which only exists for one week a year. Did they go to The Mountain?
