Buena Vista- part 1

This is what happens when you have 4 knitters riding in the same car to a weekend knitting retreat. We all knew that we would be working on class projects, but that didn't stop us from hauling yarn and other random stuff with us. I have to admit, I had the most "stuff" with me! (go figure) Check out the car...we couldn't have shoved anything else in there! We all laughed when we realized that we would be visiting the local yarn shop while in Buena Vista...and we'd have to get all of our purchases home somehow!

Then there were the snacks. I asked all the girls I knew that were going to bring some kind of snack food with them...and boy did they!! Check out the bounty that was the snack table!! (FYI...click the highlighted words!) There will be more tomorrow on the first day of class, a trip to the local yarn shop, and much more!

I notice you don't have any beer. I can vouch for the fact that drinking any intoxicating beverage and knitting is not a good thing!

No beer, but that Hardcore Cider looks pleasantly alcoholic and tasty. :)

Did you have enough snacks packed? OMG, I feel fat just looking at it all. Do tell how the rest of the trip went. Inquiring minds and all that.

There must be a reason why knitters are driving cars -- to store their stash when they go shopping!

Does that car have a roof rack? It could come in handy.

I'm awed. Looks like a blast and a half!

Wow! I want to be there for the snack table alone!

I don't know what's more impressive, the car "pack job" or the variety of snacks. You guys were high-classin' it, I think I spy with my little eye some Nutella on the lower left hand side of the table! Wish I could have been with you.

My goodness that trip sounds like fun. Knitting, good company and great snacks. What more could you need?

Stacey,
Can you send my your address so I can contribute to your afghan?
Also, I want you to come to town and steal me away for a weekend trip somewhere!

I just love your blog!

I hope you have fun at your retreat! It sounds like a lot of fun.

We'll be praying for your dad too, and the rest of your family.

I love road trips! Especially with junk food, good music, and good friends. I wish I could knit while someone is driving. Car sickess. Blah! Have fun!
