This weekend we went to Devil’s Lake in Michigan and had a great time! There were about 14 of us and everyone brought lots of good treats.

My list of things to bring included:

• ingredients for 7-layer dip: refried beans, guac, ff sour cream mixed with taco seasoning, black olives, tomatoes, scallions and 2% cheese
• Super Charge Me cookies – Eat Drink and Be Vegan recipe
• gin and diet tonic
• white wine
• salad ingredients: romaine, tomatoes, sweet peppers, carrots
• wheat berry salad
• pb
• peaches

This didn’t even come close to the amount of food that filled the house. It was like this list times 10! Everyone brought a ton of great snacks and fruits and veggies.

Brady and I headed out of Columbus around 5:30 on Friday night armed with Subway for the road. Even though we had t food when we got there, I knew I would not make it until 8:30 or 9pm.

I thought I had packed everything we needed:

• beach towels
• sun lotion
• suits
• clothes
• sweatshirts
• running clothes for the 10 miler
• clothes for Sat. night
• hair/bathroom stuff
• food
• air mattress
• sheets
• comforter
• blah blah bla

But I forgot Brady’s bookbag with his running shoes and flip flops and bathroom stuff in it. Oops!

So we made a Dick’s stop on the way and both got new NIKE Pegasus running shoes. It ended up being a good mistake because we needed them!
