Memorial Day Traditions

Since I can remember we go to the lakes for Memorial Day and in Indiana it was the official start of summer.  I broke that tradition last year when Sean and I raced BURN, a 24 hour mountain bike race in Wilkesboro, NC on the Dark Mountain Trails.  It seemed like a great idea to ring in our 10 year wedding anniversary; however, with a few stomach issues, heat, and lack of sleep I decided breaking that tradition was a bad idea!  So, this year I went to the lakes and stayed at the Wood's Playground in Clemson which includes the Issaqueena Forest, Hartwell lake, and a pool.  We had a great time and I love watching the kids grow up and pick on each other...it brings back great memories!  Sean on the hand raced on a five man team for the 24 hours of BURN race.  Although he had a great time, I think he'll be returning to my tradition next year too!
