Well, my "cheap thrills" vacation with Martha came to an end yesterday. We still had fun, but the band stuff and working 3 of the days kind of put a limit on things. That and kinda being in the poorhouse as well.
The show last Friday went really well. My fears of a low attendence came true, but the small group that was there was very enthusiastic and had a lot of fun. Martha and I did as well, up front and dancing the whole time. The afterparty at Jen's was fun too! The next day I took Martha and Jackie (whose b-day it was) to the "whale of a day" festival. You know, the one with the suspect entertainment and cheap gifts, LOL! I had funnel cake, so I was happy!
Later that evening we had dinner at the Morency's with Johnie 3 and then we all went bowling. I bowled a 77 and 89, LOL! Martha was the best bowler on our team of me, her, Andy, and K. Johnie 3 had the 3 of them plus the drummer's GF. They whupped us! We then had a small party back at my house where I was imploring everyone not to wake Jackie! Luck was on my side fortunately.
Work took up the next 3 days. Although Martha made me a spaghetti and sausage dinner that Sunday night. Monday found us having ice cream at Little Danny's after work. And Tuesday had us picking up burgers at Five Guys and watching "Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny" over at Andy's.
Wednesday was supposed to be an action packed day. After breakfast at Uncle Bills, we headed into Cape May where my worst fear was founded. Absolutely no parking in a town overrun by shoobies! I avoid the resort towns like the plague in the summer, but I did want to entertain Martha. We wound up going to the Physick Estate where horror of horrors, it was friggin' kid's day! Luckily all the little brats were well behaved and we got to tour the house no problem. I wanted to go to the boardwalk that night, but there was a threat of severe weather so we ended up watching "Sin City" over Andy's. Dawn stopped by and we finally got to show her her Nintendo Mii character.
Thursday was spent rushing around getting Martha to the airport. Didn't get that long to say our goodbyes, then it was on our way. I had Dawn play chaffeur for the trip. Her and I ended up eating lunch at the Indian restaurant and I had a soft serve cone by her house when we got back.
Now it's on to my Sheckie summer vacation with nothing planned as far as any band stuff 'till September due to Penny's busy work schedule. At least I had my fun for the summer!
