What did you do on the weekend?

[granodemostasa]

being a city person from LA i don't often see the snow, in fact only on day trips to the San Bernadino mountains do i ever see it. Well this weekend I spend 2 days in it. I went on a trip with a group of 36 Cal Students to the Sierra Nevada Mountains. the bus broke down near the final hill. they ordered us off and to wait. they tried and they tried but the bus was dead. so we had fun, from 10pm -3am friday-saturday we walked, built snowmen, had snow ball fights and used ipod lights to find out way through the forest to our eventual camp. you'd think that people would be angry to walk in the middle of the snow storm; yet everyone had the time of their life. seriously, it was the funnest thing i've done in years. i guess it's the fact that we're a bunch of California kids who don't ever see the snow (only later did i find out that you don't use umbrellas during snow storms), but the fact that we made such great use of a disaster simply astonishes me when i look back upon it. in any case the rest of the weekend was just as fun.
Hoped you had a great weekend. and there is still more....
Edit: after a weekend like that without a camera i've decided i must have one, even at the cost of not moving up the grado ladder till fall. see the Canon T2 v. K2 thread.

Being a Michigander, the part with the umbrellas and the snow storm made me laugh out loud.

Sounds like you had loads enough of fun for those of us schmucks stuck working in the retail stores this weekend. I didnt mind it, I have fun at work and like to keep busy.

Good to hear you had a blast, man.

As a California kid who grew up in the mountains, I'm glad to hear you guys had a good time. Where exactly did you go? One heck of a weekend to hit the hills, though, it was snowing down to about 1000 feet in my area. It's been a very white weekend 'round these parts.

I didn't do much this weekend, other than watch the olympics, and keep the fireplace lit

Went to my cousin's wedding dinner and tea ceremony in another state. In fact, I just came back yesterday night.

Had a busted ankle, so I spent the last few days limping aboot.

I've done absolutely nothing this weekend but sit around and relax.

My girlfriend was sick so I took care of her, and my arm was still sore after a 6 hour tattoo sitting late in the week so it too got some much needed rest.

I live near Lake Ontario. We've had very little in the way of actual Winter weather this year, so I took advantage of the cold to shoot some ice formations on the lake front.

I spent the weekend organising some "polls", modding an X-CAN V2, playing pool, eating, watched a few films, spray painted an amp enclosure, serviced my car (full 12,000 mile service), done a bit of hoovering and washed the car.

Oh and I responded to a few interesting polls

Had a table at the record show Saturday. Did terrible, only made my entry fee back.
Sunday went out to eat & did some shopping with the family.
Really exciting!

Hey beerguy0, those are some nice shots! Man do I wish I had photography skills like that.

I did what every college kid who doesn't have any homework over the weekend does...sleep.

On Saturday, I recovered from Friday.

On Sunday, I went shopping.

 

[elrod-tom]

Sounds like fun in CA....here in MI, it was COOOLD!!

Spent most of my weekend indoors. Sunday was spent cleaning up and dealing with grumpy people, mostly (but then you don't want to hear about THAT, now do you?).

 

[psychogentoo]

Sounds like you guys had a better weekend than I.

Woke up at 6 AM Sunday thinking it was Monday, then took a nap around 3PM, woke up at 7 PM thinking it was Monday....got to bed at 3AM then woke up at 6 AM...hoping it wasn't Monday. It really should be Wednesday...*sigh*

Did get a lot of World of Warcraft playing in though

I grew up in Chicago and have been living in SF for the past few years, and I actually MISS the snow. So many people leave the northern states because of snow, but seriously, winter was almost my favorite season. It's a time of year that I find really inspiring, the snow and solitude can be very introspective and peaceful.

Probably part of the reason why I'm thinking of leaving Cali within the next year
