This weekend, Amy, Lillian, and I went to Shiner for an overnight camping trip at a coworker's parents' farm (her coworker, not mine). It was great - I realized that most of my vacation time over the last couple of years have really been family trips or just trying to recover, and this was the first relaxing vacation I'd had in a long time. I was able to meet some more of Amy's coworkers, which was nice, and I also got to hang out with Amy some more, which was very, very nice!
I met, and consumed, some of the legendary triporken, and must say: YUM.
I was also introduced to rhubarbs (by themselves - I'd only ever had rhubarbs in combination with strawberries before) this weekend, when Amy made a pork chop and rhubarb dish. A _definite_ winner, especially with pork!
Lillian had great fun, running around with some friendly dogs and friendly kids, and we got to witness some air cannon fruit mayhem. It was her first tent camping experience, and I think the weather was perfect - just a little cool and breezy. :)
I'm still kicking myself for not documenting it with some photos. Next time!
