So as you may already know, I went “camping” with my friends this past weekend. I took lots of pictures for you to enjoy.
Click the link for the full story!
Aaron, my token gay friend.
Robin, tragically deformed during a freak CD case accident.
Jenn (She had to pee a lot)
And me, the driver.
Aaron was a bit too excited about the car trip.
Our cottage!
The horns meant that this cottage was only for the manliest of men.
The fact that it was called “Chickadee” meant it was okay for me and Aaron to stay there also.
Once we got to the cottage, we realized how difficult “camping” would be.
Roughing it was tough on all of us.
The weather was unforgiving.
It’s amazing we made it out alive.
Many lives were lost in the harsh wilderness.
There was no protection from native 70’s furniture.
And the sanitary conditions were appalling.
The view was lovely, if not slightly religous.
What tan?
Robin struggling. Me taking a picture.
Aaron trying to catch the ducks.
It’s okay Aaron, you’ll get them next time! (No he won’t)
If anyone finds Robin’s contacts, please let me know.
Aaron, what did you do to Jenn?
Not posed at all.
The requisite hiking trip.
No bears were harmed in the crossfire.
A Native American artifact leftover from the Cretaceous.
Random little shack.
Which quickly became a strip joint.
This was waiting for us on top of the mountain.
Looking down.
If you smell the screen, you can almost smell these guys shitting their pants about being up so high.
But so worth it!
Why am I practically standing in front of Jenn? I’m such a diva!
Really, Natalie Portman, my wife, I was thinking about you the whole time!
Playing with glow sticks.
Flash off.
Flash on.
Flash off.
Flash on.
Flash off.
Flash on.
Flash off.
Flash on.
Proof that they’ll let any schmuck with a credit card rent a boat. Seriously. None of us had ever driven a boat before.
Mercury, God of the sea!
Aaron was a pro.
I was trying not to show what a nervous wreck I was. (Poorly)
Jenn was a speed demon.
Robin was just plain cool.
Swimming with life jackets, just like swimming, but for lazy people!
What out for those warm patches!
For those of you counting at home, this is the second picture I’ve taken while Robin was struggling to get out of the water instead of helping.
We were SO Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
Aaron spends most of his life on blue planes. Vacations are no exception.
Bye Jenn and Aaron!
Me and Robin somehow managed to pass the time while Aaron and Jenn were flying around being glamorous.
Look at these lovely ladies! FYI- Aaron was home cooking us dinner.
This is me after I conquered Devil’s Rapids. And by “conquered Devil’s Rapids” I mean “flexed my muscle by Buttermilk Falls”.
Our last night.
Who would have thought that only a few short hours after the nice family who took this picture for us went to bed in one of the other cottages, that we’d all be back out there skinny dipping? Sorry, no pictures!
Best. Vacation. Ever.

Craig, this wilderness looks mighty familiar…where were you camping?
July 19th, 2006 at 11:59 pm
Very nice! It looks like you guys had a fun time. Where were you staying? Thank goodness they didn’t have a video collection that contained a mysterious tape that you watch and then die 7 days later - that would’ve made the vacation suck.

hilarious, plus - adorable! you guys are all so very, very cute.
July 20th, 2006 at 7:22 am
Living vicariously through you…

The gay shots are my favorite.

Thank you thank you thank you, Craig! You made me laugh, AND you made my day.

I should add that you’re the talk of my workplace some days, i.e. “Have you read the new Puntabulous post?”
July 20th, 2006 at 2:44 pm
Where did you guys go? Looks great!
(envoius stare from my desk…)
Wishing I was there.
July 20th, 2006 at 2:57 pm
We went to this cute little town called Long Lake in the Adirondacks in upstate New York. I highly recommend it!

Craig–
GREAT post–I used to go there with my family every year when I was little!! I had so many good times up there—we used to swim, boat and go look at the black bears at the dump. The bears sometimes would get annoyed at everyone watching them and run up to the cars —and the people would scurry……

Oh and what is with you and Aaron wearing the same shirt in the beginning???
Does Natalie Portman have some competition???
Enquiring minds want to know…..
July 20th, 2006 at 9:20 pm
Me and Aaron aren’t a “thing”. He’s the first of two gentlemen discussed here: http://puntabulous.com/2006/06/07/puntabulous-dating-life/
Natalie is my one true love (for now).
July 21st, 2006 at 12:03 pm
I want to go “camping” with you!!!!!
Did Natalie give you hell on your return?
July 21st, 2006 at 10:57 pm
Wow, you guys had a BLAST! And you are all so adorable. I think you need to do more with these people (or at least more photos of Aaron. Not as cute as YOU, of course, but still a cutie).
Hmm, will we get to hear/see the reaction of Natalie Portman, Your Wife, about being left at home with your mom and dad?
Ooooh, the suspense…

see i DO read your blog…i’m just a “closet” fan

What an awesome time I had looking at the pics, reading the funny quips and LMAO. It looks soooo much nicer than Iraq.

Oh Craig, that vacation sounds just fabulous! I miss hanging out with all you guys!
