The Friday after Christmas we met at our usual location: Aaron's driveway. We were definitely pumped for the trip and pumped to see each other! Some of us hadn't seen each other since the last time we went last year. We may not spend as much time together as we used to, but the moment we are together it's like no time has passed at all. We filled up the vehicle and we were off! Chatting and laughing the whole way up, we stopped, as is our custom, in Big Rapids for lunch, and then eventually found our way, after a little jog in the road, to the good ol' cabin!
Settling in, getting the fire started, freezing for the first hour or two. All part of the joy of being there! We decided to do something different for dinner this year, opting to skip out of Sporties, we drove north of town until we found a restaurant that was open. Now here's the thing with trying someplace new: it's not always a success... Was the food good? no. But was the atmosphere good? Also no. But at least the service was good? Also no. I don't think we will be going there again, if I'm being honest...
Returning to the cabin, it was now time for the main event: game time! We gathered around the table, put on an Aaron original mix of music, and got busy playing dumb games and making each other belly laugh for the rest of the night! Eventually we got to the chatting part of the night, except Jon, he called it quits pretty early. Sleep came a callin' and finally we all tucked in for the night.
The morning, as always, it mostly about waiting for everyone to wake up so we can make a run to the gas station and use the bathroom or get coffee. With everyone up, we cleaned up and gathered our things. Another successful cabin trip is in the books!
