This weekend, I was all set and excited to join a large group of random people from the area on an "All Out Camp Out" at Rohobeth Beach, DE. There was going to be smores, Rock Band, socializing, and then to top it off - slip'n'slide into the ocean! Unfortunately, my body decided to remind me that it has more control over my life than I do. Thursday and Friday I ended up having some pretty strange side effects from my new medication - everything from minor anxiety and depression to blurred vision, dizziness and rapid, pounding heartbeats. I figured it wasn't a very good idea to venture out on a camping/beach trip in that condition.

Luckily, I have a fantastic roommate who decided to spend the weekend with me instead of going camping. I felt much better on Saturday so we decided to be adventurous. We headed out to Eastern Market to eat a fabulous breakfast and check out the flea market/street vendors. We both spent more money than we had planned but got some great stuff! Later, Amanda and Ben joined us at the pool and then a big group of "non-campers" attended a rodeo out in Loudon County. It definitely wasn't a western rodeo, but it was entertaining nonetheless. Although it wasn't even close to what I had planned for the weekend, it ended up being a great weekend!
