Downtime

Three day weekends are incredible.  Kerry and I took Mogul to a consultation for dog training.  He slept patiently at our feet while we mused over the various options for training him into a well behaved adult. The verdict is out, but it seems like it might be fun. 

Afterward we headed to our own consultation with Father John, the priest who will marry us in August.  We discussed how we want to go about 'preparing' for marriage and walked out the door with a pile of paperwork, and a book on married life.  On Saturday evening we went to Kerry's Aunt's house to visit with the Cassidy side of the family.

Sunday was a dreary rainy day.  We woke up late and spent the day watching football.  We finally left the house for thirty minutes to pick up a pizza in Rockville.  We were both happy the Vikings beat the Cowboys.

This morning we woke up and decided to head out to Sugarloaf for a hike.  Sugarloaf is in northern Montgomery County.  Mogul happily played in the leaves as we wound our way to the top of the mountain.  We spent a while at the top, mostly engaged in conversation with a ten year old boy wearing a helmet who knew the exact elevation of most major mountaineering summits in the world.  An entertaining young man to say the least.
