A few months ago, Holly had decided that we needed to go on a camping trip over the 24th of July weekend.  I had Friday the 23rd off and she didn’t work at all that weekend so she thought it would be the perfect opportunity to get away.  For reasons that I can’t seem to remember at the moment, the camping trip for the 24th got moved up a few weeks leaving us with a three-day weekend full of nothing to do.  Sure, there are...
