Day Eighteen - Weather or Not
What a crazy day!!!
I woke up relatively early, and Travis was still snoozing away. So, I took my book and a bottle of water out on to the porch and just had a delightfully relaxing morning. The sky was crystal clear, not a cloud in sight. The temperature was just perfect. Around noon or so, we decided we would head to the public pool for an afternoon sun and dip. We had heard that the weather might turn this afternoon, so we wanted to get some sun and fun in before that happened. It was a lot of fun for about an hour, and then we noticed some somewhat ominous clouds off in the distance. And they were heading in our direction very quickly! We decided it might be smart to pack up our stuff and get the hell out of dodge!
On the way out, our friend Meghan's boyfriend called, and somewhat insistently told us we needed to get home. NOW. It seemed that the world was about to end by the tone in his voice! There were very weird weather sightings all over Asheville at that time, and we wanted to ensure our safety, so we followed orders and headed home.
Upon our arrival though, we discovered that we had no power. And just about that time, the skies cleared up and all that nasty weather we were expecting to bring our certain demise was gone! Well there is only one response in a situation like that...order pizza and drink the beer in the fridge so it doesn't go bad!
The rest of the day pretty much followed suit until we showered and headed to another friend's birthday party (she had power). While we were there we learned that we had power again. So we came home, made dinner, entertained some company, and are now settling in to go to bed early.
You'd think after sleeping in and not doing much all day we'd be raring to go. But no. We're exhausted!
And on that note, you'll notice a severe lack of photo documentation and Oscar-isms today. It just wasn't happening! Hopefully I can do better tomorrow!
Tomorrow - Hiking, waterfalls, and swimming holes. Oh my!
