Washington Trip--July 17 (Beaver), Day Six

Rain!
When I got up at 5:00 AM, it was raining.
Robin and Ryan slept late because it was raining.
Megan and Denis motivated slowly because it was raining.
I went down for a nap at 1:30 PM, it was still raining.
Denis and Megan played Rummy at the table, then they also went for a nap.
Yep.  Still raining.  The three-humped mountains across the lake couldn't be seen.  Just a gray day.

This wasn't the usual Washington misty drizzle.  This was real rain, as in enough to make puddles on the rocks outside.  Enough to keep us in the house most of the day.

And what did we do in the house most of the day?
I watched TV and messed around on my computer.  And napped.
The rest of the family did their things.
Megan and Denis played cards then took a nap.
Robin read her book.
Ryan played games on his computer.  I'm pretty sure they also napped some.
It was just a sleepy kind of day.
That was a shame, really--to be surrounded by an expensive, resort-type home with all kinds of opportunities for outdoor activities, yet be thwarted by the weather.  But, to be honest, this was our first really slow day for weeks, and I think it was needed.

Toward evening, there was a break in the weather.  The rain stopped.  The puddles drained.
Denis made marinated kabobs on the propane grill for supper.  More card games were played at the table, and then we all went to bed for our last night in the lovely Beach House.
