A Relaxing Weekend???

This weekend Brenda and I decided to go camping over night at Mt. Charleston. We have both been under a lot
of stress lately and thought it would be a great idea to get
away for a day so we left Saturday afternoon and set up
camp. Notice our beautiful lopsided tent. Who says women aren't self sufficient?! The next pic is of Brenda
getting ready to prepare some kabobs on the grill. Steve
met us at the campsite a few hours later and we ate, drank
and sat under the stars. We contemplated hiking but
Steve was nursing a nice hangover from Friday and I
unfortunately was recovering from a massive leg cramp
from the night before which also decided to rear it's painful
head once again while we were there. Instead we just talked and enjoyed the beautiful weather and scenery as you can see from the picture that Steve took of the trees.
The sky had some awesome colors in it but unfortunately my camera didn't capture it but you can kinda get the idea. As we drove back into town the next morning and I was on the way to take Brenda home, we talked a bit about our homelife situations and took a moment to take in the events of the weekend and be thankful that we had the opportunity to get away from it all even for just one day. Then just as we were exiting the freeway - BAM!!! We were rear ended. We didn't get hurt although my suv suffered some
bumper damage. I exchanged information with the party at fault who seemed very apologetic and willing to take care of it
himself and I gave him the benefit of the doubt hoping that there are still good people in the world who honor their word. Needless to say, after a nice relaxing day at the mountains, it was a smack (no pun intended) back into reality that neither of us needed. Isn't that always the way?!?!?!?
