5/5

It's our first day with electricity. BIG DEAL. We still somehow slept until 11. The camper stays surprisingly cool and comfortable all day, making it easy to get cozy in bed and stay there. We parked in our friends driveway over night, and were very excited to see them and their new babies. After our meet and greet, we made lunch and got the chance to clean up a bit. Now, Wal-Mart bird baths aren't the worst thing I've ever done (thanks to John and his very thoughtful gift of babywipes) but a shower can't be beat after three days in a car.

Cinco de Mayo was spent running errands and enjoying electricity and water. We tried to find a solution to our bike problem, and basically came up with nothing except to repack. Lin also decided to lay her bike to rest, the ceremony happening tomorrow. After our errands, we came home to this sweet sight:

Thanks again to Drew for making our awesome flags.

Lin and I grilled out veggie burgers and asparagus for the Lees and also received a lesson in grilling. Or basically grilling 101. Neither of us knew how to grill, but thankfully Chris is a pro and taught us well.
