Hola Amigos!

Hey everyone! So it has been a fun week so far. I did have to hit the dentist before the insurance runs out so that
sucked.

I got to catch up with some good friends this week. Got a lunch in at Pan e Vino in Lorton station…yummy stuff! A good
older friend of mine was giving me some sage advice. I always enjoy getting advice and hearing stories from older people.
They have been there and done that so makes it easier to avoid mistakes and enjoy life more. He said he admires what i am
doing because most people are too scared to try it and might not even make it to retirement...so that was good to hear.

I also got to check out another good friend of mines new place and have dinner. I’m very jealous of his crib...very nice!

Another thing that was cool is that my dad and I got to spend some father/son time together. We hit the sporting goods
store and picked out some softball gear for him for his birthday. Then we hit boater’s world which is going out of biz
and having a crazy sale…I didn’t find anything though. Then we got to play a game of catch…haven’t done that in probably
15 yrs…it brought back lots of memories. I also forgot how scary it is when he beans a ball at me.

Just got back from camping overnight at burke lake. Not a bad place at all. It only cost $25 for the night and it has good facilities. Showers, camp store, tables, fire pit, etc. It would be really fun for a family they have mini-golf, a mini-train that goes 1.5 miles around the lake, a biking/walking trail (that we tried to run this morning but once we found out it was 4.5 miles we turned around half way). The lake is very beautiful and the woods are relaxing (lots of bugs though...I hate spiders). By the way, starting a fire without a starter log...not cool! Spend the $1.29 and save yourself 30 mins of yelling at the wood to burn!

I’m meeting up with another buddy tonight to chill then spending some time with the family for Mother's day. Then Monday morning I'm heading south the good old SC.
