As you guys know from Joe’s guest post, we were headed to a weekend away in the Poconos with friends for the past few days.
Sarah and Dan (hi guys!) were nice enough to host 12 of us at Dan’s parent’s cabin. They did an awesome job of planning the weekend and we all had a blast.
Friday Night:
We all arrived in the early evening and relaxed with some drinks and a game of LCR. Have you ever played this? It’s a really fun dice game that is great for large groups.
Saturday Morning:
We all slept in on Saturday morning and woke up to the beautiful views of the mountains. I love the quiet calm feeling of the cabin’s location.
Breakfast sandwiches, coffee, and juice were consumed.
A little while later the guys headed to the slopes for some boarding and skiing on icy terrain. A few of us girls headed out for some exercise.
My friend Sue and I ran 4 miles and I kept going for another 2.5 after that. It was cold out, but I was feeling good and the scenery was beautiful.
Saturday Night:
Saturday night was the highlight of the trip for me. Sarah and Dan planned an awesome murder mystery game for all of us to play. It was called “Murder in the Snow” and we all played different characters.
I was a German speed skater with a really bad attitude.
Halfway through the game though, the power went out! We all thought it was part of the game, but it wasn’t. The rest of the game was played by candlelight, which was actually kind of fun.
The party raged on until about 4:30am..I lasted until around 3:30.
Needless to say, yesterday was spent getting some rest, and using all of my effort to get some schoolwork done.
I can’t believe the weekend is over already! Back to school tomorrow!
How did you spend the long weekend?
Have you ever done a murder mystery?
That looks like SUCH a fun weekend. I miss doing things like that.
That looks like so much! I hosted a murder mystery party in high school and I loved it for real. I cannot stay up past midnight to save my life.
The Poconos – such a great area to visit. I bet your run was lovely. Glad you had fun.
I have never done a murder mystery, but it sounds like so much fun.
No long weekend for me… I had to work Sunday and Monday.
that sound so so fun!! i have never done a legit murder mystery. only a silly one at a friends bday party when i was 9! ahha
I’ve heard of people playing those murder mystery games! id love in on that action.
i can’t believe the power went out, how perfect is that! our weekend was pretty good. went to a wine festival that had over 2000 wines to sample. good times were had, obviously.
I love the Poconos!! My grandparents lived there when I was younger and we would visit quite often. It’s so relaxing and peaceful up there! I haven’t been back in years – they left the Poconos about 15 years ago. I don’t live that far away now…I should make the hubs take me for a long weekend too!
OMG that looks like so much fun!!!! Im planning a cabin trip with friends for early April! I hope its as fun as yours!
