Lost Again

After visiting Stacy, we traveled to Weston (via a very extended route) to enjoy lake sports and a wonderful dinner, hosted by our friend, Wimer and his parents.

There were plenty of signs: I doubtfully asked if we were on 50 and accepted that we were without question, Kayla marveled at the increased speed limit on the way back, and Jess silently wondered for a few seconds at the change of scenery. Sadly, these things didn’t give us enough pause. Nearing what should have been the end of our journey, we saw a sign leading toward Huntington and were by a city that looked an awful lot like Charleston. Wimer called Jess to note our progress. He suggested that we were in Charleston, but Jess proclaimed we were close to Clarksburg and just needed to turn around. After turning around, a sign from the bad place declared Clarksburg 118 miles, Weston 98 miles. We were definately in Charleston. Yes, we went to long way to see our esteemed capital city before heading to Weston. We made the best of it by singing Disney songs We jammed out to The Spectrum Song, Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue. This song is from Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color, which was an anthology series that began in 1954 with the name of "Disneyland". I was hoping to find and purchase the cartoon that this song was from but I sadly think it is impossible.

We finally arrived at the lake (12 hours later…). We did all sorts of water activities, of which I was pretty leery. Jess, Kayla, and Ashley were enthusiastic and excelled. Mad props to Allison for getting in the water and being less intimidated by the "extreme" water sports than I. After the fun, we had an unbelievably delicious meal, including steak, potatoes, corn on the cob, salad, and bread. We even got to eat cookie dough and taste what may rival as the best chocolate chip cookies in the universe. Aunts, be very afraid...
