Vacation Update Post of DOOM: Part 1

I apologize for the lateness of this, and I'm only half done. Unfortunately, writing up my vacation meant uploading pictures, and uploading pictures meant attempting to get my gallery issues straightened out, which meant lots of updating to my website. And then I had to actually write it. And in between, I got to hold the baby. And go to the BYU Women's Football Clinic. So, it took a while.

Anyway. If Lumos is the Party, and the Shakefest is the Pre-Party Party, then Saturday was:

After that event-filled weekend, you can bet I wanted to sleep in on Monday morning. But alas, it was not to be. For I had yet to pack for the upcoming trip, I wanted to finish my bag, and we hoped to leave Salt Lake by 11:00. Of course, that didn't happen-- the bag ended up being finished-after-a-fashion (I didn't get a chance to make the inside pockets that I want to have) and packing took a bit longer than planned, so we ended up picking susy_gwen up at about noonish. Luckily, I had planned for just such a contigency-- I cleverly said that we should plan on leaving at 11, knowing full well that we'd actually end up on the road at about noon. :P After a quick stop for things I'd forgotten (HBP on CD and a minor matter of the play tickets), we were on the road for

Other than continuing to extol the virtues of Hamlet, which I'm sure you don't particularly need or want to hear, there's not much more to tell. We went back to the hotel and, since it was nearly midnight, got to sleep rather quickly. Kat left at about 8:30 the next morning, we headed out about an hour later, and Shakefest 2006 was officially over.

ETA: I uploaded this only to discover that two days that I had previously typed up had gone missing from my draft. So I've re-added them. So for any of you who thought the transition from Pinafore to Hamlet was a bit abrupt-- it's fixed now. :P
