Christina followed me to NYC so she was kind enough to give me a ride to Ithaca!

Obligatory rest stop photo
|
|
Fire, folding chairs, car parked 15 feet away. We're officially camping

Big Foot Steve takes out the trash

Dustin is having flashbacks to last year's camping trip

Our camp site must have been very attractive to any small animals in the area
|
|
The propeller on the boat we rented. Just in case we damage it..
|
The gang waits for us to get the boat ready
|
Matt is all about boating safety
|
|
Marlee and Sara are totally ready for boating
|
I was elected boat captain since I was the only one who wasn't drinking
|
Matt knows a camera when he sees one
|
Everyone kept telling me to tell people back home that I spent the weekend driving a Bentley. It's true!
|
Time to get the tubes inflated
|
The gang got me a captain's hat but it didn't fit me so they took turns wearing it
|
Phil has a pumpkin themed t-shirt
|
Silly Sara. There are no buffalos here.
|

Steve gets started on his
|
|
Dustin gets to work on his tube
|
Are their brains connected by that strand of hair?
|
Christina and Megan strike a pose
|
|
|

Dustin kept trying to use the pump to inflate his tube.. without much success
|
|
|
Matt really committed to his jump
|
|
|
|
Christina contemplates windblown hair
|
Having fun in the back of the boat?
|
Phil had some really weird swimming faces

"What'cha got there, a camera?"
|
Dustin successfully escapes the lake
|
|
|
Phil knows how to pose for a photo
|
|
Dustin forgot he was wearing the captain hat
|
Christina's turn in the lake!
|
Phil is the captain of his own mini-ship the U.S.S. Phil-Needs-To-Smoke. That makes me an Admiral!
|
Matt attempted to flip off the boat but slipped.
|
Steve looks pretty stoned. He's not.
|
|
Christina's having fun in the lake
|
I think those are Phil's feet?
|
|
|
The back of the boat was the relaxation zone
|
Steve finally jumps in the lake
|
Steve and Megan are tube-wranglers
|
|
Megan thought the lake was a lot colder than she was led to believe
|
Steve let a tube ago and Megan made a valiant effort to rescue it
|
Matt was the only swimmer strong enough to actually get the runaway tube
|
|
Good try Megan. Steve just shouted "I'm bad at swimming!"
|
|
Yes, Matt is wearing a hoodie as pants. It was a little chilly
|
Phil thinks deep thoughts
|
|
Dustin enters the relaxation zone
|
|
|
This is me pretending to drive the boat
|
|
I spent a bunch of the weekend reading The Fundamentals of Astrodynamics. Like y'do
|
|
The disco ball is traditional.
|
Matt kept running off with my camera, which was convenient for me because I'm actually in some of these shots!
|
Waiting for dinner in downtown Ithaca
|
This, ladies and gentlemen, is a classic Megan face
|
|
The disco ball looked lovely in the twilight
|
Dustin is really ready for breakfast
|
Matt removed an extra log in a super safe manner
|
Pancakes on an open flame!
|
Megan is ready for breakfast
|
|
I'm not sure what Dustin's doing here
|
|
|
Ready for breakfast, Steve?
|
Matt thinks deep deep thoughts
|
|
I love the disco ball in the background
|
Hi Megan! How's breakfast?
|
What's even going on here?
|
Christina did a great job with breakfast!
|
|
This is definitely full of water
|
It's important to do your makeup before hitting the swimming hole
|
Matt and Phil seem confused
|
|
Dustin revisits the site of his almost-death from last year. This time he wisely stayed away from the edge
|
Steve heads down to the upper pool
|
|
Matt climbed up the waterfall the hard way
|
|
Matt actually looks like he knows what he's doing
|
Dustin's turn as photographer
|
Here's that building again that looks like something out of The Last of Us
|
We all decided the upper pool was too dangerous this year
|
Better head to the lower pool
|
|
Marlee and Matt found a cave!

Matt's ready for his leap of faith

Dustin's heading to the top. No, not really.
|
Steve and Megan did not shoot a shampoo commercial
|
Meanwhile, I was doing math. I swear I was having fun!
|
|
Looking around for rocks to skip
|
|
Phil and I had a rock skipping competition and nearly killed a duck by accident
|
|
Phil and Steve relax for a moment
|
You get it???? YOU GET IT??
|
Matt does a shift as chef
|
|
|
|
Dustin helps with the sausage cooking apparatus
|
Matt's going to show us how to chew Big League Chew bubble gum
|
|
|
I forget what's even going on here
|
Time to head to the Ithaca Beer Company brewery again!
|
To the place with the beer!
|
|
|
|
|
I guess that's it then, huh?
|
|
|
Dustin emerges from his tent of luxury
|
The traditional tea sacrifice
|
|
But now we have diner food
|
That is an absurd slab of sausage
|
|
Steve doesn't understand glass

The George Washington bridge!

Ugh. Welcome back to NYC. *pollution belch*
