Day 9, The Conclusion 8/6/2010 Everyone was up by 8 am and we puttered around not too enthused for either packing up for home or heading out for a last hike on the Marble Canyon trail. Lethargy. We finally got to the trail about 9:30 and scurried along the well-signed interpretive trail without pause, [...] Day 8 8/5/2010 NEWS FLASH: Dave slept until 9am. Never in the history of the camping world has that happened before. I was up and sort of wandering the empty campsite wondering what to do. I haven’t a CLUE how to make coffee in our camping coffee pot. I get where the water and [...] Day Seven 8/4/2010 We got up around — well, starting with Dave at 7 and finishing with Morgan at about 8:30. Dave had coffee waiting for his stinky princess and we hit the road before breakfast for an early hike to the Paint Pots before the crowds hit. We aren’t used to vacationing during peak [...] Day 6 8/3/2010 Didn’t get outta Dry Gulch until about 10:30 or 11 am. I hoofed it up to the hill to the flush (!) toilets to straighten my bangs (yes, I confess: I snuck the hair straightener along in my duffle bag) from the after-affects of sleeping with a pillow over [...] Day Five 8/2/2010 No Signature Toast this morning. Charlie slept later than everyone. Another FIRST for 2010. Dave made bacon. Not bacon and eggs. Just bacon. I had granola and this new brand of greek yogurt I got at Cub Foods. It was so disgusting looking that I could barely eat it. It looked [...] Dear Bennett, While you ridicule my blogging efforts all 11 other months, you are — as you said, yourself — “seriously for some reason fascinated by and want to hear more” and are impatient for the next post, saying, “and the fact that I have been reading for 4 days now and you are [...] Day 3 7/31/2010 Eggs and leftover brats for breakfast. Mmmm! (And Charlie’s signature toast, of course, kicked up a notch this year when made with my homemade steel-cut oatmeal bread which I simply must post online soon. It’s sooo easy.) We didn’t see Morgan emerge from the camper until about 9 (or 10? [...] Day 2 7/30/2010 We made driving it through the night with only a one hour ‘shut-eye’ stop by Dave. [My journal does not mention the morning hours of 7/30. I have no recollection and am unable to fill in the blanks. I can only assume we ate something at some point and that one [...] I seriously can’t believe people want to read about the hill-billy, road-trip travels of the Menke family, but there it is. They apparently do. It was a little weird keeping my journal this year, knowing I’d be retyping it here later, but it didn’t change things all that much. I might have left out [...] Wednesday, 8.26.09. Cold night, for sure. We’d guess it dipped into the 30′s, but quickly warmed up with the sun. Dave came through again, this time with coffee and fried potatoes with onions and chicken sausage. It was good, but had the added benefit of using up some heavy groceries. You gotta love that!
