We went camping over the weekend, but not in the traditional sense. Amber’s parents have been trying to sell their old house in Peoria while living in Kansas City. They were going to be in Peoria just to check in, so we met them there for the weekend. However, most of their day-to-day stuff is in KC. So while the house still has some of their furniture and looks livable, it was mostly devoid of the usual touches like food, cable, and internet access.

I was concerned that I’d be bored out of my mind, but I was pleasantly surprised. I was able to use my phone to satisfy my internet addiction (for the most part). I was even able to find an audio stream of the K-State football game. We brought down some food and so did they, so we were able to have some tasty meals overall. It was a nice relaxing long weekend and it was good to see them. My only regret was not spending more time finalizing details for out trip. More on that later.
