Mountain Weekend

Felix, Tara, Juan, Bethany, Sewell, Godsey, Shawn, Kelly, Megan and Dean


The Men (or boys???)

We had the pleasure of being invited to celebrate Shawn McGrath's 40th birthday weekend with him and a bunch of our friends in the North Georgia Mountains. I have to admit that this was my first mountain experience with Felix (really, my first mountain experience ever), so I was a little nervous about being THAT far away from any civilization (Saks, Neiman's, etc..HA! JK). Everyone got there Friday night, and Bethany and Juan prepared a fabulous spaghetti and meatball dinner. The girls tried to hang with the guys, but we ended up crashing a bit early. Kelly bought Shawn a Wii for his birthday gift (YES, 40 year old men still like video games), so the guys were determined to master the thing by the first night. Saturday was a nice and relaxing day. Felix cooked a great breakfast for everyone that really just seemed to create a pattern for the rest of the day....rest, eat, lay around, eat, take a nap, eat-you get the picture. We did seem to work up the energy for the much addicted Uno card game. After a great breakfast, some great sandwiches prepared by Dean and Megan, and Kelly and Shawn's special hamburgers, I'll be doing double time on the treadmill this week! We had such a great time, and we hope that we will get invited to attend next year's Mountain Weekend Vacation. Don't worry Juan, maybe El Gato will stay home next year :)

Mountain weekend looked like so much fun...especially the eat, sleep, eat, sleep part.....ask Fe why he didn't just serve everyone powdered donuts and Dr. Pepper? It's the best!
