Since the weather has cooled down a bit, we can finally spend some time at McDowell Park. There are great little picnic areas with grills tucked in the forest, accessible only by foot trails. It makes for a great peaceful environment to hang out, read, and make and eat dinner. Last weekend we took the dogs to the park to hike, then decided we should really go home, get some provisions, and grill out.
The flames only lasted about 30 seconds after dousing the charcoal with lighter fluid. Mmm, lighter fluid, the new condiment.
We had fun despite the "old charcoal" Jase was blaming it all on.
We ended up tossing the meat into the woods for the raptors. Our "gross" is a raptor's "nom nom nom".
We hit Five Guys (best burgers in Charlotte) on the way home. Overall, we had a blast, especially making fun of Jase's inability to get the grill going. Good times.
I really wanted to go back this weekend but yard work and Chemistry are keeping me home. Good news: the yard looks great and I'm starting to understand some of the basic concepts that alluded me. Thank you, YouTube Chemistry videos!
A realtor is coming over tomorrow to talk about putting our house on the market. We really need to lower our monthly expenses and renting or buying a much smaller place would help tremendously.
